Trae young is too enficient and shai is that productive becoz he is the number 1 option jamal fox n jalen are way better and top 10 is
1. Steph
2. Luca
3. Dame
any other top 3 is trash!
4. Jamal
5. Fox
6. Jalen
7. SGA
8. Ja
9. Tyreese
10.James
Holiday isnt top 10 ! Wtfffff
Steph > Luka
DG not in the top ten is criminal
Trae Young has to be the most overrated player in the NBA
Tyrese belongs here and anyone who takes tre over tyrese doesn’t know hall and just looks at points per game y’all want a negative net score over a positive one is crazy
So u telling me Kyrie don't make your top 14? I swear he been shooting 40, 50, 90 with at least 26 pts a game for like 5 years. He hasn't missed a bunch of games recently, so why rank him so low
After thinking about it and reading through these comments, I would go for:
1. Luka Doncic
2. Steph Curry
3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
4. Damian Lillard
5. DeAaron Fox
6. Ja Morant
7. Trae Young
8. Jamal Murray
9. Jalen Brunson
10. Tyrese Haliburton
This list is adjusted for playoff performance and with the philosophy in mind that a Pointguard (out of all positions) should be the most consistant guy on the team. With the responsibility of setting up teammates and running plays, the pointguard has the most important job on the team and impacts winning more than basically any other position.
(followed by defensive shotblockers at the 5)
Basically I upped Fox by a lot, as he is a much better defender than Ja and Trae and also proved himself in the playoffs. He is great, but certainly not at SGA's level or as impactful as Dame. Steph still is the most impactful smaller guard, but Doncic impacts winning way more and makes even horrible teams play well, so I went with him at the top.
The mid part of the list I am least happy about, but it is influenced by past performance like the Hoopse Reference original list. Personally I would take Brunson, Murray and Haliburton over Ja and Trae, but I'm pretty sure they will be awesome again at some point.
Other than that I put Tyrese on the list. He is a supercomplete PG package and has been consistant until his injury put him out of contention. (he was on a trajectory for the playoffs) The comments here seem to agree he is good enough to be on the list, although nobody agrees on where he should land.
I put Harden off the list, he is a superstar, but basically I think he was too inconsistant. He is an immense floorraiser, but some of his game this year consisted of throwing a simple entry pass to Embiid who had his man sealed, which resulted in an assist. I would understand if people have him on there, but this is where he ended up for me.
Honorable mentions: James Harden, Darius Garland, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White (who was insane in the playoffs)
dame: 32/5/7
SGA: 31/5/5
Where’s russ at?
Damn… loving the Luka love here❤
Luka isn't a guard. We doesn't guard guards.. He is a point forward. Just like Harden.on top of that defense isn't factor on this list
Wtf luka over curry?
cp3 should be honorable mentions
HARDEN???? NO WAYYY
Kyrie?
Steph better than luka, dame better than shai
Jalen Brunson above harden and fox 🤣
1. Curry
2. Luka
3. SGA
4. Dame
5. Harden
6. Trae
7. Halliburton
8. Ja
9. Fox
10. Brunson

literally bursted laughing when i saw Trae Young at 6 over Fox, Brunson, Lamelo, Haliburton, even Harden
Dude where is tyrese haliburton🤦🏽♂️he should definitely be top 10
Curry is number 2 wtf are you smoking dude😂😂😂luka is a 2/3 what are you smoking he’s a point toward😂like lebron🤦🏽♂️
I’m unsubscribing bro frfr this is trash
Taking Halliburton over Murray for sure.
Bruh…. you really put trae young over murray, smfh. How the hell do you have a channel making content about basketball….. insane
I been watching you for years and you've had great top 10 lists, but this is the worst list you've ever put out
Only thing Ja does better than Trae is jump higher tbh.
Burson is at least better than tare fox and harden he should be 6
HALIBURTON!!! You tweaked my boy
1.) Luka
2.) Shae
3.) Dame
4.) Kyrie
5.) Curry
6.) Trae
7.) Murray
8.) Halliburton
9.) Fox
10.) Harden
Haliburton not on this list is crazy. I love Jalen Brunson but he ain't better than Fox, hell no.
Garland and Halliburton HM 😂
I thought No Hali but Murray at 7 was crazy , but Luka over Steph ? Lol thats insane bro.
The social media is just blind, based on stats, the list is 1- luka, 2 – dame, 3 – sga and 4 – curry. Curry has put 29 6 6, while dame 32 7 3, and sga 31 5 5, curry is not that good today, he is old, injure prone and not as efficienct as he was, just stop overrating him. (My Opinion!!!)
Curry, Luka, Dame, Ja, SGA, Fox, Trae, Haliburton, Murray, Brunson. This was easy. Garland is very close to Brunson. Respect my guy Hali. Harden played nearly 2 more minutes last season than Brunson. He's not getting any better either. I'm giving the edge to Brunson. Plays a better role than Garland and out done him in the playoffs. Luka has to win before his numbers mean anything compared to Steph. Dame had an impressive season, Ja is slippin if he doesn't get his game together. SGA or other's could pass him up. Fox outplayed Trae in their matchups against eachother. While the Kings are winning more. He's also taken the clutch title. Improving his game and I believe will have the better season this year. At least when it comes to winning. Hali is putting up better numbers on less minutes than other's behind him. Simple as that for me.
You forgot about lebron
Luka is not #1
I usually like your stuff but no Haliburton is criminal
Still not putting Luka over Curry…sorry Luka hasnt done enough besides average big stats and his playstyle isnt that great either, also Fox over Harden and Brunson and Haliburton should be in the top 10
