Won't be watching this until tomorrow. But, aside from addressing the laughable ranking assigned Dame in this list, please address the pink elephant in the room: Dame is NOT the "number two" option on the Bucks. Yes, Giannis scored more (last year) because he's a 6'11" athletic freak with a ruthlessly aggressive attack and motor and because Dame had a very inefficient year from the field. But Giannis would be the first to acknowledge that, when this team needs a bucket, whether to stop the momentum of the opponent, turn it up a notch in a close game when the defensive intensity has increased, or win the game on the last shot, the ball is going to Dame, and HE will be the one shooting or creating the shot for another. Dame is the true #1 option on the Bucks, which makes the article doubly insulting.
if we go on just last season Dame is clearly outside of the top 5, 10 is being a bit generous. However knowing that what we are likely to get is somewhere between 2022-23 and 23-24 Dame and he is going to come in shooting 44%+ fg, and 37%+ from 3 with hopefully better playmaking numbers, with the gravity he gives the team, and the shot making ability I just cannot see him going above 4th. With AD, Jaylen brown, and Booker above him.
Jbrown is the best on the Celtics
Are we sure AD is the 2nd option on the lakers?🤔
Dame is lowkey the first option down the stretch for the bucks. Giannis defers to Dame a lot when it comes needing a bucket the last 5-4 minutes of the game
I'm gonna be straight up. Dame is the best O player on the team, and therefore realistically is the #1 option, but I know nobody wants to hear that.
Especially since most people consider #1 option as synonymous with best player.
Think when y'all talk about numbered rankings like this, it'd be helpful if you put them on the screen. Kinda hard to follow along without being able to see what you're talking about 😔
Y’all gotta put the rankings on the screen. Im just gonna assume Tyrese Maxey is ranked first. CLAP YOUR HANDDDDSSS! SEVENTY SIXERS!
