I am not a Timberwolves fan but I believe Anthony Edwards is criminally low on this list. He is easily a top 10 right now.
what are you basing this on though mate?
Example why is ja morant ahead of Antony Edwards?
Why is AD 10th but lebron 6th shouldnt they be closer given the regular season/playoff perfomance or?
KD is also ahead of AD why?
I based this list off of who I believe are purely the 100 best basketball players that are in this league right now. I always get inspired to make my own list around this time because I feel like too many people rank players based on value to their team instead of general value/basketball ability
ya but did you base this on their last nba season or the olympics count too?
I think AD should be ahead of KD,similar to bron considering what he brings on the defensive end. His last season he really balled out…
Also antony edwards is quite low despite his young age even though he was inconsistent he balled out in the playoffs,if we are allowed to project abit i think he is more valuable than some you have ranked above.
Also depending on what you mean value and if you count injuries,i might get downvoted for it but kawhi should be ahead of Tatum,if we count injuries then no problem with his ranking.
Overall good list though i think.
I have issues with aspects of Edwards game that keep me from ranking him as high as some do. The playmaking is still pretty rudimentary, its improved but its not where it needs to be yet. The shot selection is also something that annoys me. I wish he tried to get to the rim even more than he does now. Ja Morant consistently attacks the rim and rarely settles for jumpshots, and overall I think he is just more skilled as a player. Playmaking Ja blows ant out of the water, and they are both absolute freaks athletically. Ant is the better defender but that gap doesn’t make up their offensive differences for me. Also Ja has a more proven record of leading great teams, whereas this is the first year the timberwolves have really made their mark on the league.
Embiid is too high imo. He is a flopper AND a dirty player who relies on free throws far too much.
