Why would you put Kobe at 13 when you already said you had him around 75 in the other thread. If there are 74 players in the NBA that are better then Kobe - just why do that?

 

[bksballer89]

i have lots of issues

 

[bksballer89]

No problem with the top 3 but no way is Oladipo 4th best. As for Beal

I'm also not a fan of Beal

Because there are 4 other positions…. derp. PG and PF has tons of players alone I'd take over him.

Oladipo's defense is why he's so high. Did you see the numbers he put up last year? He's a stud. Beal is based off his potential, him and Oladipo are both very young and improving.

Haven't seen much if any improvement from Beal since his rookie year

Still only 22… remember how much Thompson and Curry improved in a short period of time? He's young as hell, I think he'll be one of the best SG's in the league in a couple years.

If Matthews were healthy, he's top 5 for sure. I'd put Beal over Oladipo but its hard to tell since Beal spent so much of last year banged up. I'd also take Danny Green and JJ Redick over Khris Middleton and Kyle Korver. Green and Redick are better all around players and while Korver is a top notch shooter, its not like Green and Redick are that far off. Their defense makes up for it, especially Green.

I agree Matthews is underrated but his injury is a tough one to come back from 100 percent… right away at least. I'd take Korver over Redick, but Danny Green I could see being more valuable actually because of his ability to play defense and even block shots well for his position, I do think he's more of a system player, but Korver's shooting these last few years have been historic, he was HUGE piece to that Hawks success last year.

Middleton has a lot more upside than Green, I think he'll end up the better player in the long run, he really broke out last year for Milwaukee.

Doesn't mean he can or will play sf or pf. They have discussed it, but if he plays as good as he did Sunday night, they might play him and go three deep in one game. You just have to wait and see. I'm pretty sure they will play Randle and Metta World Peace at the sf and Randle is playing good enough to start. The starting line up will most likely be -

KB - SG
DR - PG
RH - C
Randle - and possibly Metta as the forwards - they are showing both as power forwards though, we will see.

Getting better. I like Russell-Clarkson-Randle as your core trio.

DEcent list but that Victor guy should not be #4.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

TLF moment!

Oladipo in only his second NBA season-

17.9 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 4.1 APG, 1.7 SPG, 0.3 BPG on 81 percent FT shooting and 43 percent shooting from the field with 1.2 3PG is pretty impressive.


He's a lockdown defender too already. He's only getting better… #4 is where I have him at for this upcoming season and I think I'll be right when it's all said and done but we'll see.

I love Beal but hard to put him above Wade right now. Since the reason to dock Wade would be injuries and Beal himself is already getting hurt.

Numbers wise and efficiency wise Wade is still top 5.

As of last year I agree, but this is based on what I think they do this upcoming season. Predicting the future ain't easy, but I think Beal will put things together this year.
