 I found some spare time on my hand and had a splitting headache from Melo being rated below Lonzo Ball and DeMar being so underrated.

Damn some of these ratings are stupid but I know some guys will disagree with what I have here.

↑ – Risers, ↑ ↑ – Guys who could rise dramatically

Finally I am not adding rookies.

1. LeBron James
2. Kevin Durant
3.  Kawhi Leonard ↑
4. James Harden
5. Russell Westbrook
6. Stephen Curry
7. Anthony Davis ↑
8. John Wall ↑
9. Giannis Antetokounmpo ↑
10. Jimmy Butler
11. Paul George
12. DeMarcus Cousins
13. Chris Paul
14. Karl-Anthony Towns ↑
15. Kyrie Irving ↑
16. Isaiah Thomas
17. Damian Lillard ↑
18. Gordon Hayward
19. DeMar DeRozan
20. Blake Griffin
21. Klay Thompson
22. Nikola Jokic ↑ ↑
23. Kevin Love
24. Kyle Lowry
25. Draymond Green
26. Paul Millsap
27. Rudy Gobert ↑ ↑
28. Carmelo Anthony
29. Mike Conley
30. Marc Gasol
31. Kemba Walker ↑
32. Joel Embiid ↑ ↑
33. Andrew Wiggins ↑

35. DeAndre Jordan
36. C.J. McCollum ↑ ↑
37. Hassan Whiteside
38. LaMarcus Aldridge

 I just don’t see the point of those rankings. You’re missing so much information that you couldn’t possibly give a meaninful list.

I just checked out the SI list it’s pretty good. I always ignore the ESPN one.

I like your list too. I think Draymond belongs around the top 10 though

How in the world is Curry nº6, someone who is arguably the 2nd most influential player in modern basketball in the way the game is played, only after MJ, and especially after being named 2 times MVP in the last 3 seasons¿?.. how can he be ranked behind Harden and Westbrook¿?

How can Anthony Davis be ranked nº7, someone who has only been once in playoff in his 5 years in the league, and has won 64 games during the last 2 seasons?

How in the world is Cousins nº12, someone who hasn’t made the playoffs in 7 years in the league¿?

How in the world is Rudy Gobert nº27, someone who is the most impactful player on defense in the planet, and has made his team a top 3 defensive team taking it to the playoffs¿?

How in the world is Nicola Jokic nº22, someone whom after only his second season was the main reason for the nuggets to win 40 games (6 more wins than cousins best record) and missed the playoffs for 1 win having Nelson as their starting PG?

How in the freaking world is Marc Gasol ranked nº30, someone who is the franchise player of a team that has consistently been making the playoffs and has even had 3 seasons with 50+ wins, and has made the playoffs the last 2 years with a super narrow roster and full of injuries¿?

I think there’s still a huge confusion between stats and impact…

I’m taking Rubio over Schroder every day of the week. Actually I’d take George hill and Jeff Teague too!

I’m a huge Kawhi Leonard fan but I cannot understand how he is number 3 on a lot of lists, I agree he is definitely top 10 but I’d have to have Harden, Curry and Westbrook ahead of him.

I’d have Leonard, Jimmy Butler and Giannis all at about the same level.

You have Curry, Green and Gobert way underrated. Cousins, Towns and Hayward are way overrated.
