    I guess this is pretty fluid list and that’s why a lot of guys seem to have dropped due to injuries.

    Who would have thought 12 months ago that Rose would have been the second highest ranked player on the Bulls and that John Wall would be ahead of him.

    Does anybody else think David Lee deserves a shout out? He’s been consistent for the last several years, and is leading the league in double doubles this year. He can score (18.6 PPG), rebound (11.3 RPG) and pass (3.6 APG), sure he doesn’t play much defense but neither do Griffin, Love or Randolph.

    Sorry for the way it looks, I didnt know typing in the right column would make it look bunched up, and for some reason it wont let me edit to correct it,

    I definitely think David Lee should be on that list, and maybe even Josh Smith also

    I don’t think melo should be behind Westbrook and Parker. And I think Paul George and al horfore could switch spots cuz that doesn’t make much sense to me

    Westbrook number 5 is a little crazy. Guys like D-Wade and Melo are still better IMO. He just turns it over and takes bad shots too often for my taste

    my problems: wade being too high, melo being too low, are we talking healthy howard or grandpa howard? i would put curry and irving back to back (either way works), griffin doesnt deserve the top 20, why is rondo behind wall? i mean yeah walls going off but really? injured or not rondo>wall (at least right now)

    Am I crazy for thinking Kobe at this stage in his career is the 2nd best player in the league?

    knowing that over 100 analysts (supposed to know basketball better than us) ranked them should make us feel that guys are ranked where they have to, it’s kinda true..but there should be said are they ranking THIS year’s performance or overall game..it seems one ranked them in that way others in other..

    Like Who makes us believe Rose is 23??he should be unranked if talking about this year, but there is no way he isn’t top10 when healthy even if he won’t play at that MVP caliber for the first months, same with Love this year he isn’t better than Z-Bo at all, but everyone knows he is top15 at least..

    Healthy Dwight might be (and should be) #3 but his worse production plus the fact (no matter it’s Lakers) his team might not make playoffs you can make a case he isn’t worth for top15..
