Top 10 Players SO FAR during the 2019-2020 NBA season.
List based on:
1. Team winning
2. PER, Stats
3. Health, availability
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo- 30 PTS, 14 REBS, 6.4 ASSTS, 2nd in PER (13-3 TEAM W-L)
Not the best in the world yet but his improvements through the years have been scary. No ceiling.
2. LeBron James- 25.2 PTS, 7.6 REBS, 10.8 ASSTS, 7TH PER (14-2 TEAM W-L)
Proving why he is currently the game's Greatest Player. Year 17 too, remarkable.
3. Luka Doncic- 30 PTS, 10.4 REBS, 9.7 ASSTS, 1st in PER (11-5 TEAM W-L)
20 years old, averaging close to a 30 point-triple double! Maybe we should let our kids (USA), play professionally at 13.
4. Anthony Davis- 25.5 PTS, 8.8 REBS, 3 BLKS, 1.5 STLS, 6TH PER (14-2 TEAM W-L)
Best defensive player in the league? He's showing his worth on a winning team. I feel we could see another level.
5. James Harden- 38.3 PTS, 5.9 REBS, 7.8 ASSTS, 3rd PER (11-6 TEAM W-L)
How can a guy who is averaging almost 40 a game not be in the Top 3? He dribbles too damn much for me, sorry. Rockets are looking good with him and Russ though!
6. Joel Embiid- 22.8 PTS, 11.7 REBS, 47% FG, 35% 3PT, 8TH PER (11-5 TEAM W-L)
His numbers have dropped but Philly is still getting wins. That's what matters.
7. Karl Anthony Towns- 26.4 PTS, 12.4 REBS, 50% FG, 41% 3PT, 5th PER (8-8 TEAM W-L)
I'd put him above Embiid if he didn't get chocked out by Ben Simmons. His numbers are remarkable this year, but we'll see if Minnesota can keep up the wins.
8. Kawhi Leonard- 25.6 PTS, 8.4 REBS, 5.4 ASSTS, 2.3 STLS (12-5 TEAM W-L)
Would be higher-Load Management.
9. Devin Booker- 25.6 PTS, 6.2 ASSTS, 52% FG, 45% 3PT, 95% FT, 40th PER (8-8 TEAM W-L)
50-40-90 percentages are insane, but his PER is pathetic for a guy who says he's the best shooting guard in the league.
10. Jimmy Butler- 18.8 PTS, 6.7 ASSTS, 2.8 STLS, 12th PER (11-4 TEAM W-L)
The Heat are the surprise team in the EAST, and I'd like to say that jimmy Buckets is a big reason for it. Not superstar numbers but making superstar impact. That PER put him in Top 10.
