NBA 2013-2014

I give cam credit for sticking his neck out there and coming up with a list, but in a draft scenario, the most obvious guys you could never take over Curry, if for no other reason, due to their age and being on the downside of their careers(in most cases) are

Ginobili
Chandler
Pierce
Bosh
Pau
Zach
Parker
Dirk

I would remove Parker from that list and add Kobe

[old_gregg]

he is not even the most valuable player on his team

that is not a standard for anything. westbrook, wade, harden, blake griffin...

The reason I singled out Parker is that I see them as similar players - scoring PGs, about the same size - but Curry is 26 and Parker is 32.

there's a good argument for curry over a lot of those, but you do not take him over the ones in red:

I've made some corrections. Some based on the fact that the guys are too old, most based on the fact that they are not as good.

lebron
kobe
kd
chris paul
dwight
marc gasol
derrick rose
carmelo
paul george
zbo
tim duncan
dwyane wade
westbrook
greg monroe
harden
hibbert
tony parker
pau gasol
deron williams
lma
blake griffin
joakim noah
anthony davis
chris bosh
paul pierce
manu ginobil
brook lopez
dirk
andre drummond
tyson chandler

the draft example is probably a pretty bad way to decide this question since there are too many factors to consider. point is, though, that steph curry at 6 is a joke.

Steph ranked 7th in win shares last year. He could jump Gasol this year and that would put him at 6th. Sounds like he's rated exactly right.

Ok, kidding, but ESPN's top 5 is the exact same as Win Shares top 5 from '12:

Bron - 19.3
Durant - 18.9
CP3 - 13.9
Harden - 12.8
Westbrook - 11.6

I'll give you a few of those, but I don't see why you wouldn't consider Curry over Westbrook. I think it'd be a pretty easy choice to take him over Aldridge and Deron, IMO.

Maybe the most impressive guy this preseason has been Bradley Beal. Good 3pt shooting, not turning the ball over a ton (except 6 in one game, but he also had 30 pts in 33 minutes that game), and really looks like a superior athlete on the court. I didn't watch much of him last year, so maybe he looked that quick all last year too, but he looks really good right now. Great back court with Wall.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

And Beal goes for 21 more points tonight on 9-16 shooting (3-5 from 3) and no TOs in 30 minutes.

Greg Oden is back!

Greg Oden is back!

I love it. He's a monster. Maybe a bit too big at this point. Looks like he could probably stand to lose 15-20 lbs.

He's already lost a ton of weight. Can't remember how much, but he got really big while recovering from his knee procedures.

I wish Oden great individual success and no team success
