Jokic got ejected and Nuggets been losing but i can’t really make a case for anyone else
Are Giannis and KD just blacklisted?
Frequently checking in on these lists is fatiguing, but damn there are so many stars balling out at an amazing pace this year.
i feel like haliburton has an argument for top 5
all Bron and KD have to do to get some respect is put up historically good numbers smh
I think Luka should be like 3 or 4 rn, he didn’t play to his standards this past week & lost games, & even Jokic should be dropped one spot. Also KD should be 6th at least, but maybe due to him losing without Booker he’s ranked that low
I feel like KD should be in the top 5. But then I look at the top 5 and I dunno who to remove. Maybe Tatum? KD has been unreal for more than a few games now.
1 Shai
Why did they fail something so easy
Haliburton should be up 1 or 2 spots
Don’t get me wrong, Ant has been balling, but KAT has been our best player since the Boston game.
Why are we talking about the 10th place in the title?
How is SGA not 1-2 right now?
I don’t think it’ll persist, but tell me why any of these guys has been better than SGA so far this year?
He’s been absolutely elite defensively and offensively
Just gonna leave a shai stat here:
2.4 TO per game
2.4 STL per game
1:1 steal to turnover ratio.
What does KD need to do to make it to the top 5 lmao?
where is isaiah joe?
Donovan Mitchell is better than Anthony Edwards on every single stat except maybe DREB, which isn’t really a valuable stat because Donovan Mitchell has Mobley and Allen getting rebounds.
4 INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS IN THE TOP 5 CRAZY
I get that team success factors into these type of rankings but Curry is out there being a one man team for the Warriors.
Shai not being top 3 is laughable
They need to put more respect on Shai.
No way Jokic should be first. Lost to the Mitchell less Cavs, ejected vs Pistons and loss to the Magic. Idk if he even deserves to be top 3. There’s too much talent in the league for this nonsense
Next up: Outplay Embiid tomorrow and pass him for #3.
Shay should be second. Maxey belongs in the top 10. Barnes belongs in the honourable mentions. And tbh, Chet deserves an honourable mention, too.
TWO-WAY SHAI
