harden and curry need to be 2 and 3

**Axel** · Mon Mar 16, 2015, 02:10 PM

Some spots are hard because it would depend on your current roster (I'm kind of picking based on a blank slate roster). You also are short by 1 player, so I inserted Nerlens Noel as the #6 pick in 2013.

I tend to favor defence over offence, but in general:

1. Anthony Davis - Likely MVP next year. Injury concerns with his slight frame would be only reason to bump Curry to top spot
2. Steph Curry - MVP this year. Lethal
3. Kwahi Leonard – Great perimeter defender, strong rebounder, and developing scorer
4. DeMarcus Cousins – best offensive player in the post
5. Paul George – similar to Leonard, but not as good a rebounder. Further ahead as a scorer though
6. James Harden – difficult to drop Harden this far down, but his awful defence is hard for me to swallow over better rounded options
7. Jimmy Butler – I don’t think he has the same offensive upside as Leonard or George, but great perimeter defender and developing scorer
8. Kyrie Irving – concerns over maturity and leadership take a back seat to fantastic talent
9. Blake Griffin – great scorer and under-rated passer, but rebounding has dipped and defence has never quite been there
10. John Wall – would like him better than Irving if he could develop a 3 point shot
11. Damian Lillard – very well rounded player, who needs a little shot selection education
12. Jonas Valanciunas – tools are there for a very good/great two-way player in the post
13. Andre Drummond – won’t ever be a great offensive option with no range and poor FT shooting, but physically gifted player
14. Giannis Antentekounpo – as unique a player as there is. Length is amazing. Shooting should improve
15. Beal – scoring is there, defence is improving; health a concern
16. Favors – loads of talent but hasn’t quite made the jump yet
17. Haywood – very well rounded player. Under-rated playmaker and solid defender
18. Oladipo – explosive player who could really develop into a star
19. Derozan – the numbers speak for themselves
20. Alex Len – injury and “small-ball” are limiting his stats, but very good shot blocker and developing scorer
21. Enes Kanter – until recently, was just a poor FG% big with bad defence. A nice complimentary player
22. Nerlens Noel – shot blocker and “garbage man” offence
23. MKG – wants to be the best perimeter defender ever. If he could ever develop a jump shot, he’d be an all-star; valuable role player as is
24. Tyreke Evans – over-rated as a player. High usage, poor shooting, poor defender, poor size for position
25. Ricky Rubio – inability to shoot (even at the rim) is concerning, but vision as a play-maker is tantilizing. Poor defender
26. MCW – his head is still too small for his body and his stats are inflated, still, shows some promise
27. Ross – physical talent remains, best suited for as a role player
28. Cody Zeller – no tangible comment about a guy who was probably a reach in his draft
29. Thompson – TT is a rebounder, but that is about it. Cleans offensive glass well, but that is the only way he scores
30. Turner – probably should be higher, but his game has been nothing the last few years

Solid arguments could be made in some sections to re-order based on roster needs, but my basic groupings are

Davis/Curry

Leonard/Cousins/George/Harden

Butler/Irving/Griffin/Wall

JV/Drummond/Greek/Beal

Favors/Haywood/Oladipo/Derozan

Len/Kanter/Noel/MKG

Evans/Rubio/MCW/Ross

Zeller/Thompson/Turner

1. Anthony Davis - No way anyone doesn't pick him first. He has best big man of all time potential, maybe even G.O.A.T

2. Stephen Curry - Great playmaker and of course, incredibly lethal shot. MVP candidate this year. 27, just hitting his prime.

3. James Harden - Absolutely elite offensive skill, has made big strides on defensive end. MVP candidate this year. Only 25.

4. DeMarcus Cousins - Best Center in the game

5. Kawhi Leonard - Great all-around player. Finals MVP. Only 23.

6. Paul George - Injury caused Leonard to pass him. Hope he can return well. Super athletic, great scorer and defender.

7. Kyrie Irving - Love him or hate him, he's extremely effective

8. Blake Griffin - Great scorer and playmaker. Hyper-athletic.

9. Jimmy Butler - Great defender, getting better at offence. Gets better every year.

10. Damian Lillard - Great shooter and playmaker. EXTREMELY clutch.

11. John Wall - Great Passer, lethal speed. Jump shot pushes him down.

12. Andre Drummond - Physically gifted player. A tank with huge potential.

13. Giannis Antentekounpo - Virtually dripping with potential. Has the tools to be a dominant two-way force

14. Jonas Valanciunas - Potential to be solid two-way centre. Steadily getting better at everything. Lack of freak physical gifts push him down below Giannis and Drummond.

15. Victor Oladipo - He plays in Orlando, so not noticed much, but is developing into a great player.

16. Bradley Beal - Great scorer, improving on defence. Hopefully he stays healthy.

17. Gordon Haywood - All-around player. Leader of Utah's youth movement

18. DeMar DeRozan - As shown from the last few games, has the potential to be a continual all-star. When he has his head in the game can be a great threat. Needs to reign in some shots.

19. Derrick Favors - Talent is there, just hasn't seemed to put it together yet.

20. MKG - For a team needing perimeter D, this guy is your man. If he had a shot, he would be lottery.

21. Alex Len - Not getting the burn to maximize development, but a solid centre. Needs to stay healthy.

22. Nerlens Noel - Potential for a monster defender. Offence in development.

23. Enes Kanter - Seems to be playing better in OKC. Only 22.

24. Ricky Rubio - Amazing playmaking and vision. No shot, could be lottery is he had one.

25. Tyreke Evans - Overrated. Will not be a starter on a contender.

26. MCW - Played well on a garbage team, will see how he does on Milwaukee.

27. Terrence Ross - Amazing physical gifts. Has not found a way to put them to good use. Probably will end up being a bench player on a contender.

28. Tristan Thompson - Elite rebounder, especially on the offensive glass. Not much else.

29. Cody Zeller - Don't know much about him, but doesn't really stand out.

30. Evan Turner - Same as Zeller.
