1. Joel Embiid (Embiid might be the most dominate pure center left in the game, his mid range jump shot and percent hit rate is kinda insane level, unstoppable)
2. Kawhi Leanord (best all around player in the East)
3. Irving (clutch scoring PG, more athletic defensively than given credit for)
4. John Wall (all around PG with size, best speed)
5. Antedikempo (his shooting is poor enough to question his inclusion.

I think those 5 are in, earned, and payed....hard to argue. But the next 5 spots are more competitive
6-9.? Hayward/Tatum/Lowry/Simmons
10?. Olidipo/Porzingis/Walker/Middleton/Bledsoe/Beal

Danny ainge keeps looking like a genius. He ends up trade markell futz and getting an extra pick for who i think will be a better player in tatum. Can we trade garpax for ainge?

Now that is probably the best thing I've heard all week!!

1. Antetokounmpo (I think will end up the runner-up to MVP this season [behind AD]. He's going to be better than ever this season which is scary)

2. Leonard (might be better than Giannis when you factor in his defense and three-pt shooting and Finals accolades, but needs more games to fully prove he's back)

3. Irving (just a proven clutch scorer)

4. Embiid (if you consider AD a PF [I don't this season] then it's hard to say he's not the best C in the NBA)

5. Simmons (yes, I'm putting him above Wall and Oladipo. If he was a league average shooter right now, he'd be in the argument for best player in the NBA)

I'm changing my selection after the first 3 games... it's pretty obvious.
