Tier 1: Jokic
Tier 2: Steph/Embiid
Tier 3: Luka/Giannis/Tatum
Tier 4: Booker/SGA/LeBron/KD
Tier 5: Ant/Hali/AD/Maxey/Butler
The full top 50 is here
What do ya’ll think? Personally I think Maxey in the top 15 is a huuuge overreaction to a 10 games stretch. Most didn’t even have him top 40 in the offseason.
Embiid a tier ahead of Giannis and Luka? Really?
Embiid ahead of Tatum is a sign you don’t know ball.
Tatum is 3-0 outplaying Embiid in head to head playoff series as well
All of which Embiid was hurt
Yea
Embiid in the same tier as Jokic and so is Giannis.
Is Philly not 8-1 and Joel not averaging 32, 11, 7, 2.1 on good percentages?
I mean, it’s 10 games into the season and Luka’s team is 8-2 with him averaging 32.6/8.4/8.5 with elite percentages too.
I just don’t see how you can put them in entirely different tiers of player, especially if you’re looking beyond just the start of this season and factoring in Embiid’s terrible recent playoff performances.
If anything Embiid should be in tier 2 alone and Steph moved down to tier 3.
Luka and Giannis >> Embiid easily, at least until Embid proves himself in the playoffs.
Luka didn’t even make the playin last season and Embiid won MVP.
Luka was a playoff beast in all of the seasons when he made the playoffs. Embiid on the other hand got exposed badly in the playoffs every time. Regular season stats and awards don’t mean as much if a player doesn’t back it up in the playoffs.
Based on playoff track record alone I’d at least reconsider why he’s ahead of them and Tatum lol
Prob cause tatums had best teams so playoffs aren’t the end all be all in individual player rankings
this year so far? It’s not that crazy. He’s been dpoy level defensively, and the norm 30+ ppg scorer he has been and the team had no drop off in losing Harden. If it’s only this season so far I’m not mad at it. I’d drop Curry for Luka as well though.
