In lieu of the Random Rankings I’ve been doing the past few seasons, I took a different route this year to rank what I believe to be the top three players at every position and doing my best to take everything into account (age, contract, stats, etc.).
Point Guard
1. Kyrie Irving - Duh. Kyrie has shown he’s still got it since leaving Dallas, leading all players in scoring and finishing second among point guards in rebounds and assists. His defense isn’t outstanding with 1.5 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, but it’s nothing to sneeze at considering the lack of defensive counting numbers we see from the PG position. His current efficiency numbers (.555 FG% and 1.289 pts/TSA aren’t sustainable, but even if he returns to his usual outputs he’s still far and away the best in the league.
2. Oscar Robertson - After looking like he might only be an average to slightly above average scorer his first two seasons, Robertson’s offense has really jumped the past two years. His three-point shooting has become respectable and he’s the best rebounding point guard in the league. He’ll be 26 this offseason and likely command a max contract to take him through the prime of his career.
3. Mike Conley - Really solid early-season call-up by Skrouse to solidify the weakest position on his roster. Conley’s on a rookie contract and has really come around since a disappointing rookie season in the minor leagues. He provides defensive numbers similar to Kyrie’s and does an excellent job of not turning the ball over. His three-point shooting is making him a very effective scorer so far, but it remains to be seen if it can be maintained. The A- outside grade makes me think it can. He is still on a rookie contract this year and next which affords Orlando a bit of financial flexibility.
Honorable Mentions:
Guy Rodgers - After looking like one of the better offensive point guards in the league, Rodgers has seen a major drop-off in his scoring efficiency since moving to Oakland this offseason. He’s a poor defender and his turnovers aren’t great - combine those with a max contract and Kujo might be trying to get out of this one sooner rather than later.
Steve Nash - Pretty similar to Rodgers - dips in scoring efficiency, awful defense, poor rebounding, and a big contract. At least he’s a bit closer to hitting free agency than Rodgers.
Shooting Guard
1. Tracy McGrady - T-Mac has solidified himself as the league’s best now that the other contender - Stephen Jackson - has joined him on the wing in Orlando. Jackson and McGrady have switched up where they play on the wings, which makes it a bit unclear how position impacts their rebounding/stealing number. The 1.265 pts/TSA for McGrady is jaw-dropping and he consistently ranks near the top of the league in steals. He really has no holes in his game and seems to get better with age. When you’re feeling down on yourself or your team, never forget that McGrady was acquired for half a season of Livio Jean-Charles.
2. Stephen Jackson - Jackson continues to excel since moving to Orlando. Rebounds are up and steals are down from his career numbers, though that could be influenced by a temporary position switch. I doubt it's actually a product of any significant changes during his most recent training camp. I’m not sure he was worth sacrificing the rights to Shaq AND 1.2 in 2032, but Skrouse is doing everything he can to maximize the years T-Mac still has.
3. Dwyane Wade - He’s only a rookie and is therefore on a cheap contract for four seasons, which is one of the main reasons he ranks above the honorable mentions below. In backup duty and during the preseason, Wade has shown excellent efficiency and defense and solid rebounding chops. He’s got more to show as he’s only playing about 15 minutes per game currently, but I’m banking on the fact that he’s 21 and should only be getting better.
Honorable Mentions:
Sam Jones - Jones leads all shooting guards in points-per-36, though a good part of that is probably due to the fact that he doesn’t have a ton around him. Still, he does it with decent efficiency and isn’t a liability rebounding or on defense. Turnovers are a bit high and his contract has him on max dollars through his age 34 season.
Dion Waiters - Waiters became expendable with the drafting of Wade as the two look pretty similar. Waiters’ scoring is a bit inflated this year as a top scoring option with Andre Drummond being his primary competition on the Hawks. Rebounding is good, but I’m really surprised at the drop in steals and increase in turnovers this year. Both are still respectable to good, but I expected both to be elite.
Rick Barry - Barry has become crazy efficient since receiving his +25, surpassing 1.20 pts/TSA easily each of the past two seasons. As a top scoring option in an outside or balanced offense, this guy could probably average 30 points per game. His defense and rebounding, and contract, however, all leave something to be desired.
Jerry West - He was a bit disappointing his first three seasons, but has excelled in his contract year. The scoring looks great after getting upgraded from both inside and outside, but the only other thing West really has going for him is a lack of turnovers. Rebounding and defense are both subpar.
Small Forward
1. LeBron James - I am in love with LeBron, and while I may be influenced by bias, I think he backs it up pretty dang well. His efficiency, volume, and rebounding are all excellent for a small forward, his defense is average to above average, and he has the potential to get even better. I was worried about his high passing rating, but it looks like everything else is good enough that it’s not a detriment. His three-point shooting isn’t great, which looks like the only thing you can really be critical of. Combining his already excellent stats with four more years of team control for under $3,000,000 per year and LeBron is the clear top small forward.
2. Kevin Durant - Durant has really come around and, with Kyrie now out of Dallas, has seen his scoring unleashed. I love that he can knock down the three with the best of them and his rebounding has really improved this season. Defense isn’t great, but also isn’t bad, and I bet that he had high potential so he probably has a bit more growth left in him. Durant and LeBron should be fun to watch battle it out for first team all-league at small forward for the next 10-12 seasons.
3. Kawhi Leonard - I think Kawhi is a tier below the other two players, but that’s in large part due to his max contract for four more years and the fact that he’s already 31. That being said, he’s still pretty damn good. Unquestionably the best defensive wing in the league, even though he’s averaging a full block less per game than he did last year. Rebounding is also down, but that may have something to do with Polynice coming to town and being an absolute vacuum on the boards.
Honorable Mentions:
Elgin Baylor - Baylor’s a very efficient inside scorer and probably scores a lot more on a team without two high-volume big men down low. His rebounding has gone from below average as a rookie to above average now in his fifth season. He consistently signs for adjusted mins and those low dollar amounts help offset the lackluster defensive efforts he provides.
Bernard King - He’s always been efficient, but he’s b een out of this world this year playing next to Durant. It’s probably not sustainable, but he’s on a nice four-year, $5,000,000 per year flat contract that’ll be more than worth it even if he can’t keep shooting 55% from the field. Defense and three-point shooting are putrid, and his rebounds are bad for a small foward, but decent when he plays shooting guard, which he will definitely be doing with Durant in Dallas.
Andre Iguodala - Fecta might be super high on Iggy, but I’m not. He’s a great inside scorer and pretty good rebounder, but his defense ranks in the lower tier alongside King but he also couples that with 2.4 turnovers per game. No three-point shooting, no defense, and a three-year contract averaging ~$12,000,000 per year keep Iggy from being in the top tier.
Power Forward
1. Shawn Kemp - He might be 35, but Kemp still fills it up with the best of them. He’s averaging 30 points this year on 1.23 pts/TSA, second among power forwards behind only Elton Brand. Kemp is averaging nearly 11 boards and 1.7 bleals per game, neither of which are excellent, but neither is bad either. He’s expiring this offseason and if he doesn’t retire, I imagine Mike could bring him back for significantly cheaper than the $30,000,000 he makes this year as the highest paid player in the league. It looked like he had figured out his turnover issues with 1.8 and 2.0 the last two seasons respectively, but they’ve jumped back up to 2.6 per game this year.
2. Jermaine O’Neal - Part of the four-headed frontcourt monster in Harlem, O’Neal looks like the next Hall of Fame power forward to play for the Globes, following in the footsteps of Zach Randolph and Dolph Schayes. He’s a solid all-around player without any major flaws - very good on offense, above average on defense, above average on the boards. I considered putting him number one above Kemp, but I’m not sure he’s showed that he’ll ever having the scoring ceiling that Kemp does.
3. Anthony Davis - AD was a bit disappointing as a rookie, but like so many others, he’ll go to Harlem and have a Hall of Fame career. He also has an argument to be number one in the power forward rankings, though I think I want to see him prove it for a bit longer. His jumper is really nice for a big man, which is a flaw we often see needing to be fixed. His inside is capped, rebounding looks good enough, and defense looks solid, even if it is unique in that he averages a very high number of steals and his blocks leave something to be desired.
Honorable Mentions:
Jerry Lucas - Probably the best offensive power forward in the league and a very good rebounder, Lucas doesn’t make the top three as he is absolutely awful defensively. A measly 0.7 bleals per game would be bad for a point guard and really brings down his overall grade as a big man. You could probably find a player who is slightly worse offensively but much better defensively pretty easily on the open market. I’m really curious to see what he gets offered.
Bob Pettit - Pettit looks like a poor man’s Jermaine O’Neal, though I think his ceiling is really unknown at this point after playing for an absentee GM for a number of years in Charlotte and now being a non-scoring option in an outside offense in Miami. Efficiency is solid, defense is average, and contract is max.
Tim Duncan - Duncan had a resurgence last year but is struggling this season, despite still being pretty darn good. You can’t ignore the massive contract for this season and two more for a player who appears to be declining. He couldn’t have known at the time, but in hindsight, Duncan probably needed to go to Germany this offseason. If he ends up staying in Tri-Cities next year, he’d probably be a good candidate this offseason too.
Elton Brand - Brand’s been pretty much a career backup, and while that hasn’t changed this offseason, he’s putting up absolutely stupid per-36 numbers: 21.6 points, 14.1 rebounds, and 2.6 bleals with a 1.269 pts/TSA. Probably not sustainable, but worth mentioning for a guy who is on a minimum contract and probably should be given a nice little pay raise on a one-year contract this offseason.
Center
1. Bill Russell - Not great offensively, though his 1.135 pts/TSA isn’t bad, Russell is far and away the best defender in the league and has made five all-defensive first teams in five seasons and should end his career with more appearances than any other individual in TMBSL history. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a player average 15 rebounds per game consistently during their career, but Bill has managed to do it now for four straight seasons. Tons of blocks, lots of steals, few turnovers, and a contract that’ll keep him in Detroit for five more years. I’m jealous.
2. Greg Oden - Oden is a stud offensively, defensively, and on the glass. He’s a much better scorer than Russell and should be one of the league’s better offensive centers for the next decade, but that should tell you how I view Russell’s D/R ceiling is compared to everyone else. Oden’s lack of turnovers compared to many of the other great bigs in the league are what set him apart. He’s only 21 and is on a rookie contract for this year and next, though he will require a major pay raise when he hits free agency.
3. David Robinson - I believe Robinson to be one of the best offensive big men we’ve seen in 5.0 and he probably deserves to be talked about in the same breath as the Yao Mings and Firsto Pickos of the world. He’s consistently near the top of the league in pts/TSA, plays good defense, grabs tons of rebounds, and doesn’t turn it over an absurd amount. It’s a shame and a shock that he hasn’t won a championship and, at age 32, is running out of time.
Honorable Mentions:
Greg Monroe - Monroe still has +10, but at age 34, probably doesn’t have much left in the tank. He hasn’t had much company in Washington for the second half of his career, which is unfortunate because he probably could’ve been an MVP caliber player if fully invested in. Turnovers are his only weakness, though he did manage to foul out 20 times in one season.
Wilt Chamberlain - Sounds like Wilt should’ve turned out better than he did, though he is still very good. He might end his career in rare company near the top of the FG% leaderboards, though his points-per-game ceiling is pretty low playing alongside McGrady for much of his career, as well as some other very good scorers throughout the years. His rebounding would be talked about more if he weren’t overshadowed by Russell, but his defense looks like it didn’t see the improvement in TC that would’ve made him one of the league’s best.
Olden Polynice - Turnovers and poor free throw shooting keep Olden out of the top tier, but he’s an incredibly efficient inside scorer and should retire among the career leaders in rebounds. At 31 and in a contract year, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of contract he’s offered this offseason.
Nate Thurmond - We don’t get to see Thurmond as much as we probably should with all of the depth in Harlem’s frontcourt, but his per-36 numbers of 25/13/2.8 bleals and just 1.4 turnovers are excellent. His only weakness is free throw shooting. He’s probably worthy of a max contract if someone believes he can continue putting up those numbers as a starter, though I’m not sure Harlem can/will give it to him with so many other great young bigs.
Dwight Howard - Howard entered the league as an elite inside scorer, good rebounder, and decent defender. He was an awful free throw shooter and a turnover machine, only one of which could be fixed, so he’s gone from awful to merely below average from the line. His turnovers, however, really limit how great he can be.
Andre Drummond - Drummond will be an interesting player to watch develop. Right now he looks like the second coming of Udoka Azubuike, someone who can’t miss inside but could be completely eliminated if the dumbass software coach employed the hack-a-Drummond strategy. He doesn’t have the turnover issues that other bigs do, but his defense is lackluster and the free throws will always be a major issue.
Point Guard
1. Kyrie Irving - Duh. Kyrie has shown he’s still got it since leaving Dallas, leading all players in scoring and finishing second among point guards in rebounds and assists. His defense isn’t outstanding with 1.5 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, but it’s nothing to sneeze at considering the lack of defensive counting numbers we see from the PG position.
