Derrick White, while technically a role player, should be higher on the list.

[@kingdinodragonite3470]

because the "stars" you are thinking of are shotchuckers with bad defense (uhum Derozan) meanwhile these "role players" impact the game more positively. Who is the better player, the player who increases your chances to win or the one who shoots your team out of the game every 4 games? lol. Just because you jack up 18 shots a game does not mean you are a positive player.

I expect J Dub to take another leap this year and solidify himself as the clear 2nd option on OKC and average around 23 ppg I think he’ll be a consensus top 35 by the end of the season and I can see SGA moving into the top 3 by the end of the year without having a guy like Giddey on the floor which gives him and Dub more touches and with the improved 3 ball and jumpshot form and speed of release

[@t_fitzo9726]

@@4ydaanThat’s an awful take. Luka doesn’t make Lively an Elite defensive player. Opponents shot only 42 percent at the rim against lively in the playoffs. To put that into perspective Gobert has the lowest in the regular season at 50 percent. It was the best in the playoffs among players who qualified since the 2014 season. Whilst im not denying that Luka gives him great looks on the offensive end just look at the game today. I don’t think a single one of Lively’s 14 points were assisted by Luka. Still shot 70 percent from the field. Lively is also an extremely smart player and great passer for a center of his age. He is far and away better than Duren and if you don’t see that I’m afraid you don’t know ball my friend.

not at all; if you look at how he was playing at the latter half of the season when he was off the minutes restriction and the team finally gelled he was averaging 24/12/5 on 47/35/80 splits with 6.1 stocks. this is adding onto the fact that keldon, vassell, and sochan (3 of their 5 best players) were all out near the end of the season, so he was carrying the entire offense on his back. let’s not even mention the fact that he lead the france team to the silver medal while leading them in every major statistical category and dropped 26 points in the gold medal game. if we’re talking about RIGHT NOW and not judging wemby on the entirety of last season then it’s not insane at all to say he’s the 11th best player in the league. he’s already widely regarded as the best defender and he was doing everything for the spurs plus the france team. (not saying his france teammates were bad, quite the opposite) i don’t get why people like you are so quick to call people “brainwashed” and jump at the opportunity to call wemby overrated at any chance you get just because you can’t accept the fact that wemby is greater than you’d ever imagine he’d be as a rookie 😂. if anyone else was averaging those numbers and doing the same things he’s been doing, you wouldn’t be saying this. 🤷
