30. DeAndre Jordan, C, Los Angeles Clippers

I'd personally swap Leonard and Durant and have Lillard and Green over Irving. But other than that I pretty much agree. Not too sure about Dwight being in the top 30 anymore either but most seem to think he'll have a better time in Atlanta than he had in Houston so it is possible.

If this list is based on talent, I'd have stronger opinions about this, but good starting list.

Yeah, I'm going to give a brief explanation for each ranking when my October blog comes out...I'm sure @Shaqdaddy11 is getting his/her wet dream.

You need to stop hitting on me. What would wiggy think of it? You'd break his poor little heart.

@HurricaneDij39 get that fantasy league up and running please

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I would not take Howard over Jordan nor Melo over Klay Thompson.

But, that might just be personal bias with the former.

The later?

No.

I think Klay's all around talent is currently superior.

My man Melo is passed his prime.

Oh yeah, I think Klay and Butler are a toss up too.

I, being easily seduced by offense, prefer Klay.

Team USA disagrees.

 

[CitySushi]

Team USA disagrees.

International play is weird though. USA Melo is waaaay different than NBA Melo.

Marc Gasol not being rated on here is a travesty, IMO.

@HurricaneDij39 credibility just went down the toilet. Disappointing to say the least

Dude Team USA also took Tameka Catchings over Candace Parker.

What credibility?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

International play is weird though. USA Melo is waaaay different than NBA Melo.

I mean, he obviously took injuries into account with Gasol.

Only way to explain that omission.

I'm doing the same with Melo.

He's still very good.

But, some of these younger guys will lap him this Season.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Marc Gasol not being rated on here is a travesty, IMO.

Got him at #32...Age and injuries for him are red flags to me.

 

[bksballer89]

What credibility?

As the best poster excluding myself?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Ummmmmm, Melo has had a bunch of injuries.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Ummmmmm, Melo has had a bunch of injuries.

His are just random nicks and bruises. With big men and foot injuries you just don't know if they'll fully recover.

Where is wiggy then?
