Top 5 at each position

Re: Top 5 at each position

Oh an not having Deron Williams arguably the top pg in the league on your list is just silly to me. Unless you just forgot about him since he plays for the nets.

Doh I knew I was forgetting somebody

Can't co-sign with your perspective on old man Jesus Shuttlesworth...i would give Ginobili the nod since he can create his own shot, but Ray Allen's defense has gotten better every year he's been under doc rivers.

Kevin Durant better than LeBron bruh? You watch basketball?

I don't like LeBron. I'd rather have KD in my team than LeBron.

Re: Top 5 at each position

Well if you could read you would know that I never said Sefolosha was better than Harden anywhere in this thread.

Watch the personal attacks. It's unnecessary.

And again, if you want to criticize add something constructive. James over Durant isn't so obvious that it doesn't require more explanation from you than this sarcastic remark.

Yea but at this point in his career he's nothing more then a spot up shooter. His defense can't be too great since they kept Bradley as a starter over him even when he provides more offensively then Bradley.

Moving westbrook to the 2 fixes that. I'd rather have him at the 2 than a pg who is only effective with 3-4 shooters on the court.

what 3-4 shooters did the Celtics have this post season?

And I almost rolled over in my grave when someone compared Monta to AI...WTF?

Bradley's the future and already ready to start. Him being a better defender is probably only part of why they left him in as a starter (especially when we consider the team was struggling and putting him in the starting lineup provided a spark).

Never realized how weak the SG position is.

Garnett, Bass, Pierce, & a somewhat disabled Ray Allen.

Avery Bradley (based on limited minutes) looked like he was better than Rondo on defense. Allen was above average, but that means nothing when Avery Bradley could potentially be the best PG defender and a top 5 SG defender in the league.

It is obvious. Durant is a better shooter, but Lebron is better in every other way. He's the best player on the planet right now, is a three time MVP, and I imagine will be starting over Durant in London.

Re: Top 5 at each position

If I see one more list ranking Blake Griffin over Dirk...

Part of the reason why I hate Top 5 lists.

Consistency is so undervalued.

That and Boston needed scoring off the bench and wasnt too concerned about Bradley possibly getting into foul trouble with his on ball D.

This is probably my second favorite list on here.. With mine being 1st of course lol.. I love how your list wasn't swayed by guys who only put up the numbers. Guys like- Griffin, Harden, Westbrook

Re: Top 5 at each position

Does he really make the rest of the team irrelevent? Durant's led the league in scoring how many years in a row now? Westbrook is absolutely aggressive with his shot selection, but outside of himself, Durant, and Harden, who on that team is going to score without Westbrook/Harden creating for them?

Serge and Perk are completely under utilized.

Perk had the lowest USG of his career and Serge doesn't get near the looks he should. He has a very solid mid range game, but doesn't get put in great positions to get shots.

Mainly because most Thunder possessions involve Westbrook standing at the top of the key or barreling through the lane.

Durant get's his because he's extra efficient and moves exceptionally well without the ball. Makes Russell look ALOT better than he is.

Rondo >>>>>>>> Westbrook by a long shot. I'm fully convinced that if the Thunder had Paul/Rondo/Rose/Nash etc., they'd be celebrating a ship right now.

For christ sakes, Nash almost carried a roster full of bench guys to the playoffs by himself, imagine what he could do with real offensive threats. Rose made people believe Luol Deng was ACTUALLY an All-Star on the offensive side of the ball. Paul makes people believe Blake Griffin ACTUALLY has an offensive game, period.

Westbrook doesn't do that. He renders Perkins, and Ibaka irrelevant and forces Durant into iso situations he shouldn't have to be in at times.

Sometimes I feel like the Thunder win in spite of Westbrook's bone-headedness. Same way the Lakers win in spite of Kobe taking a million shots.

And wow SG is REALLY thin. I also don't see how Al Jefferson isn't getting any love. But these lists are all subjective.
