I feel as if 25 Under 25 is a little too broad and most of those guys are already established monsters like Luka so 23 and under really gives us the fresh, young talent and future.

Alright, any time you make a subjective list like this your gonna get torn to shreds no matter what the list is, go on tell me why I am wrong and why your favorite player should be higher.

​

Important:

- considers all components of the game: offense, rebounding, passing, efficiency, defense, etc.

- the ranking is based off: 60% this season, and 40% previous years and previous success and accolades (i.e if one guy is slightly worse than the other this season but has some really good previous accolades, he gets a higher rank, like Josh Giddey hasn’t been good this year, but he makes it over someone like Ausar Thompson because he was really good last year and Thompson’s only played a couple games)

- yes, this is a edited version of a list I posted yesterday due to the fact that I realized I had totally forgot to update and tweak the middle part of my list from the beginning of the season and it was weighted too heavily on the start of this season and the fact that I need to get a life

    basically my thoughts for Hali over ANT. The effeciency and playmaking ability combined with lack of turnovers is insane. Also Haliburton’s defense is underrated. He averages 1 steal and 0.7 blocks a game (nuts for a guard). Last year he averaged basically 2 steals a game.

      Hali is a disaster of a defender. Evaluating a point guard by steals and blocks is peak “I don’t watch them play” evaluation. Allen Iverson, one of my favorite players ever, lead the league in steals for three straight years. He was one of the worst defenders in the league. Some high steal players like CP3 are good defenders, but a lot of them are terrible.
