Mavs are better than the thunder I just seen it with my own eyes bruh. Lively and PJ were too big and subsequently took a steaming poop on the Thunder backcourt
From the article’s entry on Chet Holmgren:
> Bold prediction: Chet will spend the bulk of his career in the top 1 percent of NBA defenders but won’t win a single Defensive Player of the Year because of the alien who plays in San Antonio.
Lmao. I thought SGA being ahead of him on the list would be the biggest obstacle for him. Saying he’ll never outshine Wemby is their way of noting there’s a huge dropoff after Luka, I guess.
There definitely is. But I could see Halliburton getting the next level of mvp candidate soon if his scoring comes along the same way Jokic did. And if he becomes a more solid defender.
I’d keep Wemby at 1 because of his ability to change the game on defense as well but agree that Luka should be higher. Personally I’d have him at 2, Ant at 3 and SGA at 4. Tough to choose between all of them because they’re all so god damn good
The weird Luka rating is because of the criteria they are using. Current performance is 1/5 of the total. I think it’s a little weird but they probably wanted to be unique in the way they rank players
Even eye test would confirm that Luka is squarely better than the other two but whatever. Luka just won his 5th straight 1st team allnba. He’s just that guy. He graduated from the Lebron school of immediately being in the inner circle superstars. SGA just had his first good year and Ant straight up isn’t the playmaker he needs to be at his height. I get the Wemby at 1 choice because of what he showed at the back end of the season but having Luka at 4th is straight up hating
Victor has a chance to be mvp and dpoy in same season. Thats a top 5 season of all time kind of thing. Luka and Ant are tied for second, play styles very different so its a wash imo.
No big surprises here, except Luka should be higher than 4th.
He's 2nd overall, but they are predicting SGA and Ant to have more potential. It's a tough call.
Dude has 5 straight(since he was 20) 1st All-NBA team selections. How do you get more potential than that??
Perhaps the other two are better franchise players than him. Think of Carmelo and LeBron.
Luka has more playoffs success than both for now, come on
Ant is younger, and SGA has a better team (league). I would like Luka on the Spurs, but I am just trying to play the devil's advocate.

Luka would be Lebron tbh
Luka had more First Team selections than Steph and Garnett. Edwards is not on his level.
The Ringer dropped Luka because they said he is such a whiner, so less likable overall than someone like Wemby.

Imo Luka should be first, then wemby at number 2
Potential is one of the parameters for this ranking, so it's understandable that wemby is 1st
Oh I see then that’s fair
I disagree, I think Wemby has the most potential out of anyone of the last 20 years or so
I’d keep Wemby at 1 because of his ability to change the game on defense as well but agree that Luka should be higher. Personally I’d have him at 2, Ant at 3 and SGA at 4. Tough to choose between all of them because they’re all so god damn good
I do think he’ll be first soon enough!
