I think Westbrook having more rebounds than Cousins is crazy.

Well, fucking Harden put up the stat line of the year. The Rockets have some really good shooters and Mr. Top 26 will be getting pretty decent to strong MVP consideration....as much as I hate it.

53 points, 17 assists, 16 rebounds

He's up 3 rebounds and 7 assists per game over his career average. I have no problem with his name being thrown out there this year. Completely different player on paper. I haven't watched enough of him to see if he is actually attempting to play both ways this year.

Still a 1 way player.

This isn't easy. I'll try.

1. LeBron James
2. Russell Westbrook
3. Kevin Durant
4. Kyrie Irving
5. Kawhi Leonard
6. Steph Curry
7. Chris Paul
8. Demarcus Cousins
9. James Harden
10. Anthony Davis
10a. Giannis Antetokounmpo

Lot of potential others and didn't know where to put Harden...not really a true believe CP is actually top 6....not sure where to put Curry.

HM--- Lillard, Isaiah Thomas, Love, KAT, Buter

I'd probably go:

1) Lebron
2) KD
3) Kawhi
4) Kyrie
5) Westbrook
6) Curry
7) AD
8) CP3
9) Harden
10) Butler

But that wasn't easy

Hard to argue much. No cousins?

Giannis measures very well metrically ...as does Butler

Do you not have to get both feet back in bounds before touching ball? I think that should've been OKC's ball as he had both feet OOB and only got 1 reestablished

Dumb by RW. He has 49 fucking points and he's 0-6 while I've been watching. He shot too early in shot clock and settled for jump shot. Now Houston going to get ft to win it because everything is a foul for Harden

No CP? I kinda agree but threw him in there.

Towns over Cousins?

Leaving off CP3 was tough. Cousins is a headcase, so I went KAT over him. Cousins is probably better at the moment though. I went big on clutch gene. Kyrie pretty high cause of it, and George sneaks in at 10 cause of it. Leaving Freak off was my toughest even over Paul

Fair enough....Antetokounmpo is so damn good and younger than most think....I learned how to spell his name.
