Paul George.

[sando]

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. Davis
4. Howard
5. George

Davis is a huge talent but he has a way to go before top five. But you're a Pelicans fan so nothing wrong with optimism.

1. Lebron
2. KD
3. CP3
These are the only players that are locked in. After this it's debatable, however personally I would put Westbrook at 4, then you could pick from Harden, Curry, Irving, maybe even Love?

[BigDeem5]

LeBron one

Then huge drop off

Durant two
Cp3 three
Harden four
Curry (if healthy) five
Westbrook six
George seven

I have him 7th. His game is raw still, he will improve. Good defender, not great. Can't shoot still... Teams will start playing off him. Not to mention he benefits from having a great big man combo (west n hibbert).

Very good player, not great.

[MickeyMan]

Lebron, kobe, howard, bosh, rose, duncan, wade, d. williams, durant, westbrook, harden, carmelo, blake griffin, chris paul, tony parker, nowitzik, john wall, anthony davis, kevin love, j lin


I want my pro now.

That was awesome

Can't believe Goat hasn't checked in to this thread yet.

Different players play different roles and positions. What is the point in comparing Dirk (a center) with Stephen Curry (a PG) or Paul George (a SF). If you want to argue who's the best player at that position then that's a different story, but saying: "Oh this guy's better than that guy, and this guy is better than that guy" is all hypothetical.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

yeah hes top 5 right now.

no 1 cares bout Danny Granger anymore in Indy .

Not necessarily, there is still the pure talent, IQ and athleticism factors of individual players, regardless of position.

For example - I don't think anyone would argue that Roy Hibbert (C) is significantly better than Darius Morris (PG), even though it is almost impossible to compare them as players.

[Relapse]

George has a lower FG % than Wade. Not sure why you people are hating on Wade.

George even said this off season goal is to win the MVP and didn't mention about winning a title. Selfish piece of shit

I'm pretty sure winning the MVP would automatically make the team better.

He is killing two birds with one stone.

Headsy player.

Better to a point they win the title just cuz of MVP George? Winning MVP does equal championship moron. He aint no lebron son.

The player that wins the MVP always has his team in championship reach.

Anyway, you better watch your mouth, Relapse. I'm not in the mood for your nonsense this morning. You're not too old for me to put you over my knee. Do you understand me? Now watch your P's and Q's, boy.

[The Giant]

I'm sorry, Relapse, but after reading your thread here: http://forum.sbrforum.com/nfl-bettin...-gambling.html

I can no longer take you seriously.

You're adorable. Thanks for the laugh.

[JoeyBagels]

He might be top 5 material eventually but he's still only 23. He hasn't cracked the top 10 ws/48 in his first 3 seasons but it's looking good so far this year for him to be in the top 10 (currently ranked 2nd behind Kevin Love). The caveat there is small sample as you have players like Kevin Martin on the list so far this year.

The list will probably end up like this:
1.Lebron
2.Durant
3.CP3
4.Love

With 5-10 being debatable until the season ends.

[oldscho0led]

The key here is his improved jump shot. Def top 5-7 in the L right now. Complete Defense + Polishing his offense = Elite

That was a classic thread.

In one post you said you had $1500 on the game at -10, and then several hours later it turned into $1000 on -10.

Good thing you won your ML bet worth 10k.

I didn't realize what I was dealing with until I clicked on that thread.
An after-the-fact non-bettor.

Relapse, I say this with the ultimate sincerity. You are the best.

[MiDNiTe]

is relapse a 10yo kid? first he talks big that he bet big on tb and calling everyone who didn't bet it a idiot only when they were two scores up but goes hiding when fins comeback, only to appear again when match is over then brags he bet 10k but when you ask for proof he runs and hided again, looks like he's a air better like lakerboy

[You mad bro]

Lebron, kobe, howard, bosh, rose, duncan, wade, d. williams, durant, westbrook, harden, carmelo, blake griffin, chris paul, tony parker, nowitzik, john wall, anthony davis, kevin love, j lin


I want my pro now.

lol

J LIN lmao
DIRK maybe 5 years ago
ROSE maybe 2 years ago
DUNCAN about 40 years ago
CARMELO give me a break
GRIFFIN is the most overrated bball player in the NBA ... doesnt know the word defense
PARKER plays no defense and relies on the pick and roll system
WALL has no jump shot outside 15 feet

you are a moron

[You mad bro]

LeBron one

Durant two

shut up .. his defense is fukkin incredible

must not watch any basketball at all i guess

[Pick'nParlays]

JLin would win at algebra
But then he would lose behind the wheel of a minivan

If it is a joke, it is not funny.
If it is serious, I feel bad for you.

[ChalkyDog]

Top 5ish.

LeBron
Durant
Kevin Love

Then it's a toss up of:

Paul George
Steph Curry
James Harden
Westbrook
CP3

Then there's the arguments for of: (arguments of greatess despite age and Melo)

Kobe
Melo
Duncan
Parker
Howard

I would normally have D.Rose up there, but this year he has yet to prove that.

Paul George is in the tier just below LeBron and Durant. He is on a team that has the best shot of knocking off the heat, and if he wins that title with him at the forefront, he is probably 3rd or 4th in the same tier as them.

[upscope]

1) LeBron
2) Durant
3) CP3
4) George
5) Love

[Fred The Hammer]

What? PG is shooting .479 and .404 from 3. Not to mention 7.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists. He's not shooting a ton of free throws yet but when the J is falling from 25 feet out then Indy can live with that.

[vyomguy]

I can name 10 guys who are better "offensively" than paul george.

george had his best year last season and averaged just 17 points per game.

george is a top 5 defender in NBA...but his offensive game is not even in top 10.

But overall, I rate him top 10 in league...please dont even put him in top 5.

Danny granger will be back this season, and george's numbers will drop to 2011 levels.

George is the star in Indy. Granger will be playing Robin to George's Batman.

Granger can score, a lot. George the more complete player.

If offense was everything, Melo would be right next to Durant and LeBron on every list.

So Danny Granger is gonna cause Paul George to drop down to 12.1/5.6/2.4 <--------

Don't know if you're aware of this but Paul George is 23 & improving every yr & about to reach his prime. Danny Granger is 30 & slipping for 3 yrs now, unable to stay healthy & a far cry from what he once was. There is literally a zero % chance that Danny Granger causes Paul George to go from 24.9/7.8/3.6 to 12.1/5.6/2.4

[ChalkyDog]

FWIW, based on stats, George is 2nd only to Durant at this point in the year.

Top 7

Durant
George
K.Love
Bledsoe
Chris Paul
Lebron James
Anthony Davis

[k2k]

My top 5 would go like this (not based on purely stats)

1. LeBron
2. Durant
3. George (based on how he's playing this season)
4. Paul
5. Love

[Coolin]

This seasons MVP will be Paul George. watch...

[vyomguy]

This seasons MVP will be Paul George. watch...

no he wont win mvp when there is lebron, durant, cp3 and rose around.

people are over-reacting to this paul george kid.

take it easy folks...we are just 8 games into the season.
