First judgment.

Draymond Green is wayyyyyyyyyyy too high IMO

I'm not a fan of Melo or Gay at all so maybe my personal bias got in the way, so I could really have him anywhere from the 6-8 range. I think he's extremely valuable in that system, take him out of it and who knows what he'd be.

I'm the one that called out Hurricane for having him in his top 20 players OVERALL. I'd put him more towards the 40-45 ish range overall. Just think the gap between some SF's is extremely miniscule.

Might be some bias involved, but I'd put Rudy ahead of Hayward(who I'm a fan of), Green, and possibly Melo. He's been more efficient with the Kings and I think playing under George Karl will help that even more.

I'd take Hayward over Gay any day, but I could definitely consider moving him over Green & Melo, I feel like a lot of those SF's in that range are pretty interchangeable.

I think the big edge Hayward has over Rudy is being 4 years younger, their shooting, points, rebs, ast, etc were all pretty close last year. I also agree about the interchangeable parts, 10-14 could have been completely flipped and I wouldn't have thought there was a problem with it.

Yeah, statistically they were pretty similar last year, but as you said Hayward is 4 years younger and he has shown improvement each year he's been in the league. That's what separates them imo.

I think we all know what Gay is (not a bad thing, he's very good) but Hayward has the ability to take the next step into a super star. He's really underrated.

While I think Gay can play better, I agree he probably won't be taking that step into becoming a 25-30ppg "superstar" guy. We'll see if Hayward can get to that level, it's possible. Even if he doesn't take that leap, he's still a very good player. With all that said, I'd still take Rudy right now.

Draymond Green is not a SF. He's a PF. He doesn't spend any time, ever, at the 3. He's always at least a 4 and in the undersized lineup plays the 5.

 

[ManuForever]

I can't argue with Leonard at #3. Good job.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

I can't argue with Leonard at #3. Good job.

If he keeps getting better offensively he could be #1 in a couple years when LeBron starts declining. His defense, rebounding and intangibles make him not too far off from KD, he just needs to keep improving that jumper.

True, a PF in a SF's body. The site I used had him listed as a SF so I let that one slip up a bit.

 

[logic]

I predict Stanley Johnson climbs up the list.

 

[logic]

And I suspect with pierce gone porter will make an appearance on this list.

he will, trust me if anyone is high on him it's me.

 

[Agent Orange]

Stanly Johnson at 20 and Tobias Harris at 13?

 

[logic]

No love for Wiggins?

No love for Wiggins?

He's on the SG list....ranked #6 I believe
