I just struggle to believe that anyone is picking Bron,Spida or Jimmy over a healthy Kawhi this season.Also Embiid and Sga are at least top 5 and both of them are in the convo for 1 this season.

why is Shai 9th? He's leading one of the best teams in the league while averaging numbers similar to last year (when he was ranked around 9th despite his team being in the play-in) but on better defense. Like Shai is acrually an all defensive type player now while also being one of the most unstoppable bucket getters.

SGA's steal numbers are awesome! That's one of the things that separates him from the other great young guards.

Bro looks like he's been kidnapped and is still putting our fire content

Embiid has a strong argument for #1. Weird not to have him in the top 3. And it feels insane not to have him at the very least top 5. My Top 5: 1. Embiid 2. Doncic 3. Jokic 4. Giannis 5. Shai. Also I would argue Booker over Durant. Bam over Jimmy Butler. DeRozan over LaVine. Barnes over Siakam (though it's very close). And it's hard to make an argument for Cade to be higher, but I think as an individual he's having a better season than a number of guys ahead of him on this list (and he's just struggling with the least complimentary teammates).

I actually don't mind this list (even if I disagree with some of your choices) because you're clearly not too influenced by recency bias. You take into account what players have truly proven about themselves rather than just what numbers they're putting up right now.

thank you for not having SGA too high

Great Vid. I personally think kawhi has got to be higher his offense and defense combined is crazy and unstoppable. Also how is joel embiid 6th!! He is averging 2 blocks and over 1 steal, he is averaging 35 points of 55% and 35% almost 12 boards and 6 assists which is crazy for a big man, he is better then curry and doncic He is top 3 and in my opinion top 2 and best player in the league he is probbally going to win MVP too. Edit: Also Shai has got to be way higher his defense has taken a huge leap this season and his offense is insane.

Joel better than Kd this season.. 35 12 and 6.. come on. He is number 1 Then Gianni’s Then luka Then joker Then KD Then taytum Steph

Give me Haliburton over Mitchell or Edwards. Hali elevates everyone around him offensively. He's the engine for the best offense in the NBA. I can somewhat get the argument for Edwards given the defensive impact. But Mitchell? Haliburton is a more efficient scorer and a much better passer. Neither is a good defender. Would also have had Kawhi higher. His efficiency has been unreal.

I don’t get how Lebron is in year 21, turning 39 YEARS OLD in 3 days averaging 25, 7, and 7 shooting 50/40/74 and someone like Steph is still ahead of him only because he averages 2 more points but shoots the ball worse and has 3 less assists and rebounds and doesn’t play defense
