Hey Matt, you mind reducing the size of the face camera on the screen sometimes it cuts off some of the content on the screen and it is a little too big.
I agree with what you said about Simons as a blazers fan, also agree with what you said about LaMelo. LaMelo has been insanely good especially for his age and has achived more than alot of the players ahead of him lol we saw him lead this awful hornets team to the playin multiple times and we've seen how they play without him
I agree with you completely Matt. As a Dallas maverick fan we love Luka. I love Luka. Heâs so so good. Heâs leading us to our first finals in a decades +, 5time first team all nba, lead the playoffs in every category leading into the nba finals which as never been done before, he will be the face of the league when he wins this championship and finals MVP. GO MAVS!!
I get why they did it, but the title of that article is wrong, given how many 25 year olds are on this list. The top 10 looks massively different if we actually rank those under 25.

If you swapped Paolo for both JW and Chet and the Thunder are in the finals and the Magic are picking top 5 again. The disrespect continues to be insane
these people dont know basketball. Luka is the future face of the league. He is the next lebron basically. Everybody's "potential" will not even be close to who Luka already is right now. Also, the disrespect to Ja & Paolo is crazy. Wemby hype is a bit overblown. Idk why they even have jdub that high.
wemby's hype is not overblown, being the best defender at year 1 is not over blown. Wemby at year 1 gets tripled team or doubled, his offensive potential have great ceiling because nobody on this league is capable of blocking his midrange jumpshots. but luka at this point should be ahead of him, ican see him overtake luka at year 2 or 3 because he plays both sides of the floor.
For 1 season right now. The thing that scary about being that tall and having that frame, not just injury but heâs unfortunately more likely for serious injuries after wear and tear of multiple seasons. Obviously hoping not, but itâs a concern to have (especially with nba history with guys that tall)
yk.. the whole âluka beat shaiâ argument is kind of wack considering he didnât lead the team in scoring 2 out of the 6 games and got outplayed by the other star every game but game 5. luka was a shot chucking disaster that series. i still would say luka over shai long term but letâs not act like he single handedly is rolling through this playoffs. heâs getting outstanding work from his teammates. i see people comparing him to like 2018 lebron and thatâs just so far from the truth
Keegan Murray should be on this list. He literally scored 47 pts in a game, improve his defense where he's out on guards now, and plays a vital role on offense with his consistent shot. Definitely a top 25 player.
top5 no but higher 100% then 10 hes a skinny 6'2 PG who cant shoot and already has a injury history apart from his rookie season he never reached the 65 game requirement for the all nba team so hes lucky he got 1 before the rule was introduced and 5 years into his career weve seen him make the playoffs twice and lose in the first round
The explanations quite simple. He has not played in a long time, because of injury and disciplinary issues. If he does start playing again consistently, and looses the injury and disciplinary issues, he will rise. If not, he wonât.

chet is 3rd option on this okc squad, banchero is the top guy, he dragged his team to playoffs as the top guy, the credit on banchero is warranted. but giving 3 of the top spots on okc and putting shai ahead of luka is disingenious, if you put chet and jdub at top 10 luka should be way above shai on the list.
Cade had "empty calorie" numbers on a historically bad team, Jalen Green will prove to be better, long-term. How is Luka not #1?? Sengun is going to be one of the faces of the new NBA generation. Zion should be lower on the list because of health issues. That ranking had mad disrespect for Trae Young. I'm not sure Jalen Johnson really belongs on this list. Cam Whitmore and Amen Thompson will be on the next list for sure. Watch out for those Rockets, they are stacked!
What does empty calories mean when he was one of the best playmakers in the league, despite having the worst spacing around him? The Pistons were chaos last year. For him to thrive in that environment when everyone else sucked is a testament to how good heâs going to be once he actually has a team.
@@elblouses128 It's easy to have good stats, which don't equate to winning, when your team sucks. That's what I mean when I refer to his numbers as "empty calories".
JDub was more efficient and better in advanced stats than Paolo and I think his ceiling is just as high he has all the physical tools and no holes in his game sky is the limit. Chet and Maxey are clearly too high
He was also not having to drag a team along like Banchero, his life was a lot easier as the second option. And when it mattered in the Dallas series he was poor. So for me he is clearly too high. A lot of guys in this list had to be the first option for their teams, and none of those teams would have swapped them for Jdub so he could be their first option .

@@alexsantaella4172 For end of next year, Iâm agree ( he is already 1st in fantasy points for the last 10 games). But, if we take a timescale of one year, I feel it quite unfair for Luka (he pass from « not yet » to « too late » without passing by « you deserve it ».
They trolig Luka
This has to be a troll list thereâs no other way. This might be the worst list Iâve ever seen
Jalen Williams is a future GOAT
scottie has a higher ceiling but sengun is better rn for sure.
Sengun ceiling is top 5 in this list
Scottie is better rn and for the future.
Deni avdija snubbed
Agree
Keegan Murray robbed
Jdub maybe the most overrated player in the nba. Still a good player but he doesnt have as much talent as a bunch of guys listen below him.
Bro the Banchero glazing đ heâs elite we know but man cmon lol Chet made OKC the one seed and changed the dynamic of OKC Banchero wouldnât probably do that
chet is 3rd option on this okc squad, banchero is the top guy, he dragged his team to playoffs as the top guy, the credit on banchero is warranted. but giving 3 of the top spots on okc and putting shai ahead of luka is disingenious, if you put chet and jdub at top 10 luka should be way above shai on the list.
Cade had "empty calorie" numbers on a historically bad team, Jalen Green will prove to be better, long-term. How is Luka not #1?? Sengun is going to be one of the faces of the new NBA generation. Zion should be lower on the list because of health issues. That ranking had mad disrespect for Trae Young. I'm not sure Jalen Johnson really belongs on this list. Cam Whitmore and Amen Thompson will be on the next list for sure. Watch out for those Rockets, they are stacked!
What does empty calories mean when he was one of the best playmakers in the league, despite having the worst spacing around him? The Pistons were chaos last year. For him to thrive in that environment when everyone else sucked is a testament to how good heâs going to be once he actually has a team.
@@elblouses128 It's easy to have good stats, which don't equate to winning, when your team sucks. That's what I mean when I refer to his numbers as "empty calories".
@@elblouses128 'Empty calories' means having good stats that don't affect winning, think Carmelo Anthony.
@@TandemKnights I just couldnât disagree more when it comes to what Cade provides
The Thompson twins should be on the list
I feel like you didn't read the article.
Luka 1 Wemby 2 SGA 3 Ant 4 Scottie 5 Paolo 6 Chet 7 Hali 8 Sengun 9 J Dub 10 Ja 11 Zion 12 Maxey 13 Trey 14.
Still crazy, if you think Scottie is a better player than Paolo..
youre classement ... i don't even try to correct because that gonna take to much time
Wemby over shai is stupid đ
@@MrWesleyton these are projections for the future as well. Wemby will have a better career, all time great. Shai will be great also.
@@icemanbrfc these are including future projections. I believe Scottie will have a better career than Paolo, and yes he's better now, defense matters.
JDub was more efficient and better in advanced stats than Paolo and I think his ceiling is just as high he has all the physical tools and no holes in his game sky is the limit. Chet and Maxey are clearly too high
He was also not having to drag a team along like Banchero, his life was a lot easier as the second option. And when it mattered in the Dallas series he was poor. So for me he is clearly too high.
A lot of guys in this list had to be the first option for their teams, and none of those teams would have swapped them for Jdub so he could be their first option .
@@rulifaller8474 Itâs year two and he was only bad in a couple playoff games I wonât judge a players long term outlook based on that or the fact he is playing with a better player early on. Okc had KD, Westbrook and Harden all on the same team before
@@bkelly625 you gotta understand tho hes not even the nr 1 option and tyrese Maxey came off a playoffs where he averaged 30/7/5 on 48% 40% 89% hes 5 months older then j dub and already has the allstar appearance he clear j dub on offense the only thing j dub has over him is the defense but with that body build he should be 6'6 with a 7'2 wingspan
@@tellsteveharveyidontwanthe2283 The 6â6 7â2wingspan frame with elite strength and athleticism is why JDub has a higher ceiling than Maxey imo. And he was only in year 2 and Maxey was in year 4⊠age is a factor but so is experience and once JDub gets more sky is the limit he can be a two way beast like Kawhi or Jimmy Butler. Jimmy was a mediocre role player until he was 25
@@bkelly625 this litteraly doesnt make sense what you said being in year 4 and only being 5 months older is litteraly an advantage hes more experienced already at the same age basically outplaying the guy who won the mvp last year on his team ow and JDub with his 2-way upside my question is how is lu dort better then him or why was he not mainly on luka plus we all know he will never be a true nr 1 when he got target this year we seen him fold while maxey averaged 30 on 48/40/89 splits being an older age when your only 2 years in reduces your upside cause theres nothing to grow into thats why he was already good when he was a rookie imagine if luka entered the league at 21 he averaged 28/8/8.5 the nba is built in a way where theyd love you to be a 2-way player but it wont matter if your not its easier to get defenders around you then elite scorers/playmakers this is an era of basketball ruled by offense
Luka is #1. Period. Wemby will be #1 next year or the following, but geez. Also, Matt, you gotta stop hating the Thunder. Every time you saw a ranking you said âdoes that mean XYZ Thunder player is above them???â
It's not a "who's best right now" list. So, if Wemby will be #1 next year, then that's why he's #1 on the list now.
@@nazcraz11 yeah thatâs fair. Lukaâs just in the finals right now and heâs the best player playing
trae has done more then ja with less help????
