Here's another way to slice it.
A reddit user broke down the list by position, though I'm not sure of his position source since bball-ref lists Brown as a SG, but let's just go with it for now.
Point Guard
1. Steph Curry
2. Russell Westbrook
3. Chris Paul
4. Damian Lillard
5. Kyrie Irving
6. Kyle Lowry
7. John Wall
8. Ben Simmons
9. Jrue Holiday
10. Kemba Walker
Shooting Guard
1. James Harden
2. Victor Oladipo
3. Klay Thompson
4. Bradley Beal
5. Khris Middleton
6. DeMar Derozan
7. C.J. McCollum
8. Donovan Mitchell
9. Gary Harris
10. Eric Gordon
Small Forward
1. Lebron James
2. Kevin Durant
3. Jimmy Butler
4. Paul George
5. Kawhi Leonard
6. Gordon Hayward
7. Jayson Tatum
8. Otto Porter
9. Jaylen Brown
10. Robert Covington
Power Forward
1. Anthony Davis
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
3. Draymond Green
4. Kevin Love
5. Paul Millsap
6. Blake Griffin
7. Derrick Favors
8. Kristaps Porzingis
9. Dario Saric
10. Nikola Mirotic
Center
1. Joel Embiid
2. Rudy Gobert
3. Al Horford
4. Nikola Jokic
5. Karl-Anthony Towns
6. LaMarcus Aldridge
7. Clint Capela
8. Steven Adams
9. Marc Gasol
10. DeAndre Jordan
So this is what I'm thinking. Next year, if Brown plays primarily SG and Tatum PF, could the C's have a top 5 player at every position?
At PG, Kyrie can maintain top 5. Maybe Paul drops, but he could also pass Lillard, but Simmons and Wall could jump up too. Staying in the Top 5 is very possible.
At SG, this is the biggest stretch. A lot of talent at 4-8, plus Booker or Fultz could jump up. I struggle to see Brown getting slotted higher than 8. Top 5 unlikely.
At SF, I expect a jump from Kawhi, but I also think Hayward could overtake George or Butler with a great year. George/Butler/Hayward are all really neck-and-neck. Top 5 is possible.
At PF, a healthy Porzingis could shoot up. But I expect Love, Milsap, Griffin to decline, and I think Favors has peaked. Not a lot of PF threats. Tatum could land at #4 or #5. A huge year gets him to #3. Top 5 is possible.
At C, maybe Ayton's legit. Jokic and KAT are legit. Capale and Adams are both young, but I kind of feel they both may be near their ceiling. How does Cousins look when he comes back? How does Jordan look in Dallas? With how these rankings love guys like Horford, I don't see him dropping past 5 next year if healthy, but it looks like he was #7 last year, so who knows how this breaks. Top 5 possible.
So next year, if everything works out, I think it's conceivable that the C's could have a top 5 player at 4 positions. And that one position without could have 2 All-Defensive players there in Brown and Smart. Things definitely look good for C's fans.
Hard not to get excited thinking about some good and best case scenarios.
