He's definitely ahead of JT for me

Same here.

But he's leading the league in assists!  A stat that definitely means something now that LeBron is doing it!  Nevermind that nobody seemed to care when Harden or Rondo did it!

Davis is elite on both ends of court, that being said, I hate the Lakers and don't wish them well at all.

Ringer staff is Philly centric. Plus hard to knock the guys they have on list, really. Who would he replace?
Tatum came to mind...


Drummond
Adebayo
Mitchell
Gobert
Jokic
Simmons

Tatum is option 1a and Kemba is option 1 for the Celts.

Brad Stevens goes to Tatum for game winning shots.

Jaylen is not even the 3rd option on the Celts.

It's not a surprise that Jaylen is not in the top 25.

If the Celts are going to have 2 All-Stars this season, it's going to be Tatum and Kemba.

Also, if the Celts are going to have 3 All-Stars this season, I won't be surprised if the coaches pick Smart over Jaylen.

Thanks for the chuckle, good sarcasm!

LeBron in front of Davis is a joke too.

who didn't care when Harden did it? 

Rondo is a different type of player so I do think it meant less for him since he didn't have the scoring load
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

That was before the Philly game.

Right now Brown is not a 20-point scorer anymore, after only 8 points in 41 minutes against Philly.

Celts also out of the top 3 in the east after losing back to back to Indy and Philly.

To be fair, LeBron's passing is on another level compared to Rondo and Harden if you assess the quality of their assists. He's not throwing the ball at an opening created by his teammates (like Rondo), or only making speactular reads in some select plays (Harden), he's creating high quality looks for his teammates by using his threat to score in a variety of situations. He's peaking as a passer right now and I think this is the most scalable version of LeBron James.
