GOAT
The bubble was fraudulent
23 or younger:
1. Giannis: Elite, top 5-7 player in the game.
2. KAT: One of the most offensively gifted bigs of this generation.
3. Jokic: Not as dominant as KAT at his best, but all around skilled offensively.
4. Porzingis: Let's see how he bounces back from the injury, could easily be higher on the list if he didn't get hurt.
5. Tatum: Balled the fukk out in the Playoffs. Most points for a rookie since Kareem. Two way player with elite scoring/shot creating skills.
6. Simmons: Until he gets a respectable enough jumper to not be completely neutralized like he was against the C's, he can't be in the top 5.
7. Mitchell: Not as efficient as offensively, or as good of a two-way player as Tatum. Not as all around dynamic as Simmons. But still an elite young prospect with proven go-to scoring ability.
8. Booker: His efficiency and all around game is lacking, but he's already an elite scorer at 21 years old.
9. Brown: Averaged 18+ in the Playoffs while often taking on the toughest defensive assignment. Another potential elite two-way player with proven clutchness and competitive fire
10. Ingram: Much improved from his historically bad rookie year. Solid playmaking and slashing skills offensively, competent/improving jump shooter, and high defensive potential.
Once again, this list is age 23 and younger. I know people will be bytching about the Tatum/Simmons/Mitchell order, but I value guys who rise to the occasion and play their best in the biggest moments over guys who can be taken out of a Playoff series with solid coaching/game planning.
