1. James Harden
-24.9ppg, 5.7apg, 4.6rpg, 46%FG, 85%FT, 37% 3pt FG
-Harden is a legit MVP candidate, and a nightmare to defend. He averages 8.5 FT attempts per game, and he is constantly taking the punishment that comes along with driving to the rim.

2. Demar Derozan
-22.7ppg, 4.5rpg, 42%FG, 81%FT
-Derozan took a giant leap this year in terms of production. With his advancement, and Kyle Lowry’s consistency, the Raptors are leading the Atlantic Division.

3. Monta Ellis
-19ppg, 5.7apg, 45%FG, 78%FT
-I shudder to think how bad the Mavericks would be without the signing of Ellis. With Dirk on the back end of his career, Ellis has been asked to carry the load at different times this season. He hasn’t disappointed.

4. Klay Thompson
-18.2ppg, 44%FG, 78%FT, 41% 3pt FG
-Thompson is only just beginning to perfect his game. He isn’t flashy by any means, but he is exactly the type of player you want next Steph Curry.

5. Kevin Martin
-19.3ppg, 42%FG, 89%FT, 38% 3pt FG
-All this man has done his whole career is put up numbers. Unfortunately, he has found it difficult to score for a winning team throughout his career. The Timberwolves have a great base of young talent, and keeping a vet like Martin around should be a priority.

The list is:
Harden

Everybody else.

Did Wade have a great year? I'm only covering this season.

Yeah SG is weak this year. I miss the days of KB, T Mac, VC, Allen, and Iverson. Probably missing one or two more.

Me too. Wade is a better player than DeRozan. It's crazy to suggest otherwise.

Yeah, I guess Wade should have been #4. He's a shadow of his former self tho.

_________________

I guess. His former self is one of the 3 or 4 best SGs of all time though. If LeBron missed an extended stretch of time, we would see that guy come back, IMO. He's shown enough to know that outside of Harden, nobody is a better 2 guard this year.

I guess I'm just not a big fan of D-Wade. Prolly one of the best SGs ever, but I feel like his lack of big time production holds back the Heat.

They've been to the finals three years in a row, and are likely to make a fourth trip this year.

There isn't a bigger supporter of the Heat on this board than me, but I just have a feeling they are getting beat this year. Maybe in the conference finals.

They'll get to the Finals but this is SA's year.

San Antonio is scary slept on right now. If Westbrook can't stay healthy, the Spurs will have an easier path to the Finals. Clips aren't a bad squad tho.

That ship sailed. I disagreed with you last year about SA but you were right even though they lost (just barely). This is OKC's time.

We'll see. San Antonio is the better team, but Detroit was better than Cleveland in '07. Durant is going to have to play the best 6 or 7 games of his life for them to win. Hopefully he defers to Westbrook.

why would he defer to westbrook?

I don't know, but he does it often. Westbrook usually shoots more than him and there's many times this season that Durant has passed it to Westbrook in the last few seconds of a game for the go ahead basket.

Maybe one of the worst basketball thoughts ever on this board. Even City Of Fools is shaking his head.

What? I agree it would be really stupid to do, but he does do it often. And I don't really like OKC so yeah Im hoping that happens in the playoffs.

Yeah was about to say I think he's saying that as a SA fan. Leonard needs to explode for them to have any chance. I'm done with Ginobli after he defected to Miami in the middle of the.series.
