Are Spyda and Dame pretty much the same guy?

Wish I could join in this topic but I doubt I'd bring anything new. Pretty much concur with most of what's already been posted.

Spyda is a better defender.  He just has that extra explosiveness/verticality to boost his game

Zion should be on all of these lists.  He is still only 20 and averaged 27, 7 and 4 with 61 pct FG.

For comparison, Anthony Davis averaged 20 and 10 on 51 pct in his age 20 season...
When he starts contributing to winning he will be.

They're both below average defenders. Lillard is a significantly better offensive player in about every way imaginable.

Oh man, Zion's an interesting one.

Should he be on there at all, yet? Is he "proven"? Will health play a factor?

Is it going to take 2-3 years for us to get answers to these? I really hope so because that'd mean him going injury-less for the next few years.

Might be a media thing, but in my mind I have him chalked up as like, second-most-likely superstar to get hurt :(

Imagine (read: dream) with me for a second; Zion added to our roster.

How good does that instantly make us.

Oh my days.

I really hope he stays healthy, he's such a unique player.

KD should be number 1 on everyones list

God I hate him
KD has been number 1 for about 6 years now!

Keep him for the regular season..he does not have an extra gear for playoffs. He goes full throttle every game.

Interesting lists, especially since we may run a 2020/21 fantasy draft. You guys are leaking your draft boards for the first couple of rounds. :P

Kind of baffled people still have Lebron so high... this is for like next season right? He isn’t going to make an all nba team this season and next year will be another year older
