I'd go with Giannis, Kyrie, Embiid, DeRozan and then one of Beal, Wall, Dipo, Unicorn etc.

As of now, Giannis.

Ben Simmons may end up being the best by the end of next season.

Jayson Tatum has to be in the running.

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?

Off the top of my head... Giannis, Kawhi, Kyrie, Embiid and probably a toss up between Ben Simmons and Oladipo.

If Tatum isn't Top 5, I think he's pretty damn close.

Tatum will be in the conversation at year's end with Oladipo and Simmons for a Top 5 spot. I think Simmons could be right there with Kawhi or Giannis is he begins to excel defensively.
