I didn't. I don't think he affects the game quite as much as he has the last few years. He's top 16 for me. I did have trouble on where to place Paul George. I have him 12-14 but also gave him strong consideration for #10Laley23;1831645 wrote:Fuck. Forgot about Gasol.

I'd take him over CP3, and Cousins from your list easily. No real stat based argument to have those two over him.

He's the most underrated guard in the league. He's certainly 10x the player John Wall and if Wall didn't hog the ball every game Beal would easily be a HOF player. I had to rate Beal that low simply because he's got a trash rat on his team and doesn't have the balls to tell management to trade Wall for a bag of sand; at least the sand has value.Commander of Awesome;1831653 wrote:lol at Beal.

What do you want me to look at? I looked at regular stats and gazed over advanced stats like player efficiency rating, win shares per 48, VORP, offensive and defensive win sharesCommander of Awesome;1831651 wrote:Disagree. He's having an hell of a season

Not to mention he plays like 50 games a season and is on a career minutes restriction at 23. Plus he's a fucking turnstile on def. -2.9 DBPMsleeper;1831654 wrote:He's the most underrated guard in the league.

Just a reference point. I think he's having an in the discussion for MVP type of season. Keeping that in mind, I don't think Curry deserved either MVP nor do I think Harden should be near the discussion. Can't be an MVP with a bottom of the league DEF ranking, but that's JMO.Ironman92;1831656 wrote:What do you want me to look at?

As for Cousins, you can't be a top 10 player have never win more than 30 games in a season. Top 10 players get winz. Yeah the Kings roster suck, but you put KD/LBJ/Westbrook/Kwahi/Davis on it, they winning 28 games?

Again, if he played on another team that didn't have a garbage can in John Wall, he'd be a top 10 player.Commander of Awesome;1831661 wrote:Not to mention he plays like 50 games a season and is on a career minutes restriction at 23. Plus he's a fucking turnstile on def. -2.9 DBPM

Fair enough but Cousins team is the trash #8 seed on pace for 35 wins (can't imagine 35 making playoffs lol) but his team is 15-20 and you have AD as your #5 and his team is 14-22.Commander of Awesome;1831664 wrote:Just a reference point.

I already admitted not really knowing where to put Cousins and while he's 2nd in scoring his rebounds have dropped and thought his assist numbers were higher.
