The Trae hate is getting ridiculous. Why is he treated as if he’s a 10 year vet who’s 30 years old?? Trae’s WORST YEAR is 26 and 10 on 43/34/89 leading his squad to the playoffs and giving the Celtics a battle in 6. That’s his worst year in the league!! And he’s below Lauri, Fox, Ingram, and all these other guys that just haven’t done nearly as much. There was nobody and no offensive system to take the pressure off him. This man Trae was carrying his injured ass squad to the playoffs last season putting up 28 and 10 on 46/38/90, how many guys can even do that?? The way this man is overlooked is honestly something I’ve never seen for a star player in the NBA. This guy was 23 when he did that. His second year he put up 29 and 9, most PPG for a sophomore in the modern era and we called it empty stats. But SGA averaging 30 on the 10th one season makes him top 10. Insane. A lot of people are about to look stupid by the end of this season. Ik you love the Knicks P but Trae and JB won’t even be a discussion by Christmas
I agree that he is over hated, and this list overall is just not great, but you wrote all that and not one time did you mention the other 50% of basketball. It’s not that he is an average defender. He isn’t even serviceable. He is actively bad on defense. Again, I’m not saying you’re wrong, there is just more to basketball than scoring.
Bruh, mfs were saying “luka didn’t make PO” but no one batted an eye when curry didn’t make the PO and he’s 2nd best ranked. The goal post changing for luka is crazy
@@dre7147 if that's true then it's time for Mia to give up on him because he just isn't good enough to cruise through the reg and ramp in the playoffs like Leonard for example he isn't a all star in the reg and folds in the playoffs so what's the point
I’m a hornets fan and the fact that melo is 48th… when in 36 games played he averaged 23-6-8… im not saying he should be top 10… but 48 is disrespectful
Wait hold on am I crazy P. No Jaden Mcdaniels, Derrick White, Nic Claxton, Devin Vassell, Alperen Sengun Keegan Murray or Reigning 6MOTY Malcolm Brogdon. But Yes to Sexton, Barnes, Grant Will, Conley, JOHN COLLINS and Mitch Rob. Like imo Capela over Claxton is crazy let alone one not making it and one being in the Seventies. What is ESPN doing because it definitely ain’t legalized
You brought up Buddy's three-point shooting and where he was ranked. He was slightly better in percentage than Klay Thompson but Steph and Klay shot a lot more threes per game than he did. If you take that into consideration the Golden State players we're still the best 3-point shooters in the league with Buddy being third. What's shocking about those statistics is that Damian Lillard shot much worse than all three of the players mentioned. He was shooting at only 37% last season.
@@ericg4626 because he only played 12 games, and we can all agree that the theoretical ceiling of wemby is higher regardless. Same with chet, we havent seen him play real games yet so the skies the limit for what he can hypothetically produce compared to cade who though is still getting better we’ve already seen some of him. theyre erring on the side of hype rather than predicting anyone to be a bust, and they simply think wemby and chet have higher ceilings.
I'm not arguing that Cade has a higher ceiling. Simply that he shouldn't have been dropped 35 spots or whatever due to an injury if they are taking potential into consideration.@@JubioHDX
Kinda off topic but one thing I don’t get is teams like the bulls holding onto these older players and trying to compete. Literally the team they traded with already looks better than them and it’s year 2 of the rebuild. So why not just blow it up now since they got their own picks again

@@socialistbatman1211 I give more emphasis on offense than defense & game is all about putting ball in the basket and Giannis couldn’t do that against a play in team even being in a superteam
@@banimeclips10you’re contradicting yourself. How can you say Giannis is not a top 5-9 offensive player when he literally averaged 31 points per game. He came in that playoff series off of an injury and still averaged 23 points per game. If failing in the playoffs is what you’re basing the ranking off of, why have Luka ranked higher when he didn’t even make the playoffs. Also, the Bucks weren’t a super team lmao. Middleton was coming back from back to back injuries, he wasn’t even fully healthy so how can that be a superteam. Giannis is 100% ranked within the top 3. You sound like a casual
The reason Giannis is #1 over jokic is because Giannis plays both end of the floor. They both has won 2 MVPs and a finals MVP. But Giannis has won defensive player of the year. Other than last year, Giannis has been nba 1st team and all defensive 1st for 4 yrs straight...that's why ESPN got him 1st...
Jokic offense is million times better than giannis but there is no award for offensive player. And what's the use of dpoy when those dpoy players like him, gobert, jjj and lopez absolutely can't guard joker,so that award means shit
@@imabigboy9182 jokic, kd, booker, tatum, steph, luka even lillard is better and there is more, giannis can't shoot, giannis can't make a freethrow he is absolutely not top 5 offensive player in the nba.

And he absolutely can't stop jokic 1v1 so his dpoy means shit
AD is the best defender in the league, lopez is better defender in the league, embiid is better than giannis on defense, draymond is also better, gobert is better so no
Doncic is not #2, he is barely top 5 and i put him on 5 just because embiid is shit in playoffs. Jokic, giannis, steph, tatum, doncic, kd, embiid, butler, lebron, booker
I like the take on RJ once you said it I was like oh yeah he 100% right. RJ is a solid starter but from the jump we all attached all star and All NBA to him and he’s just not that. But a 20ppg guy is pretty nice in this league. His efficiency isn’t terrible either compare him to all the other non all star wings in the league and he’s in the top 3 if not the best one.
Jaden McDaniels not making the list at all is actually insane
