Starting to be a lot of rumblings that he may be the best player in the game currently. Anyone agree with this?

My guy Sam Smith says he is the best player in the game right now. It might be hard to argue. Think I have heard a few others say either that or no worse than 2nd.

He's definitely in the top 3, my pick for mvp this year Giannis.

He has taken off. It may come down to those two. I think Davis's team will be better so that may give him the nod. The Pelicans look like they will be one of the surprise teams this year. Its early but they have made some under the radar (Randle, Payton, Okafor) moves. If Okafor doesn't play well for them its over. Gentry is a helluva offensive coach and if he can't find his groove with him then he needs to be out the league. He has dropped a lot of weight so we will see. I wasn't sold on Anthony Davis as an impact player for a long time but that dude gets it done.

New Orleans is a 50-55 win team barring injury. Jrue Holiday is a very good player and Mirotic looks like a good fit with them.

I don't think subtracting Cousins adds 7-8 wins. At some point Davis will get hurt, again.

3rd best behind Lebron and Kawhi

Top 10 is tough. I'd probably go with

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. AD
4. Kawhi
5. Steph
6. Giannis
7. Harden
8. Westbrook
9. Embiid
10. Butler

Giannis has been the best all around player this season.

Agreed.

I still think LeBron is the best player. I’m not confident anyone has done enough to take that title from him yet.

AD is ova-rated

He’s not. He’s awesome.

He has only made the playoffs 2 years out of his first 7 in the league. Might be fair to question it. Know I started the thread but there is something off about him as a player.

He has a helluva No 2 in Holiday. Team should be better.

_________________

I think it’s fair to question it. I just don’t think he is.

I do agree he takes more plays off than most superstars though. You know I don’t like Russ but if he has Russ’s competitiveness I think he’d be a 2x MVP by now probably. Seems like he doesn’t have the heart.

I still think he’s a top 5-7 player and that’s where just about everyone has him. I don’t see anyone saying he’s the best player.

They're not losing because of Davis. What should he be doing more of? The only legitimate knock on Davis is his inability to stay healthy.

It’s fair to question his hustle. He’s a lazy defensive player that gets away with it more than a guy like Harden because his natural ability mitigates it a bit.

I still really like him and would sell the farm for him if I’m an NBA team.

The best player in the league has to have more team success. AD could not lead a team to a title. He is a number 2 on a championship team. It's a perimeter-dominated game now. The best players have the ball in their hands most of the time.

AD does have the ball in his hand most of the time.

There’s a solid gap between best player in the league and #2 on a championship team. I don’t agree with that assessment at all.
