To go with the qualification somebody mentioned earlier in the thread, I doubt Giannis is guarding the opposing 2 guard most of the time.

That Bucks team is a weird mess, though, especially with Middleton out.

I think it's safe to say Giannis wouldn't play SG on the vast majority of teams in the league. 

If you want to list him as a 6'11'' shooting guard, though, it's clear he'd be ahead of AB.
It is either him or Snell.  Both more classic SF's, but one of them is playing SG since they are both starting with Delly, Parker, and Henson/Plumlee.  In fact, Parker could also be considered a SF.  So Milwaukee is basically starting 3 SF's.   When Middleton is back throw him in there with Beasley and just start 5 SF's.

I agree with Nick, 7 seems about right.  Klay, Harden, McCollum, DeRozan, Beal are better than Bradley and I believe Wade still edges him out.  After that, I think you probably have Bradley as I think he is a more complete player than Booker, Williams, Fournier, Gordon, Oladipo, Caldwell-Pope, and Redick who are generally in that next group.

Another guy who I think is pretty impressive that isnt showing up on any lists here is Rodney Hood. Kid has a complete game and might be a star, in a Jimmy Butler kinda way, if he keeps developing like he is.
