Because I'm also waiting for the game and don't have anything better to do, I made a ranking of all notable NBA players (85 players, Smart didn't make the cut). I put them into tiers (A: 15 players (I think there is a drop off after this group of 15), B: 19 players, C: 23 players, D: 27 players) and I placed the players in order for every position, and even their natural position is subjective of course.
