It is pretty well known that the West is loaded and more talented that the East. I wanted to make sure that the talent distribution narrative is true in that measure. I understand that ranking the players is a subjective thing, but I think that a general consensus could be made for top 30, 40 and 50 (40 and 50 are separated).
East
Lebron Kyrie
Love IT4
Giannis Wall
Horford Hayward
Beal
Kemba Kristaps
Dragić Embiid
Derozan Lowry
K. Middleton A. Bradley
Melo Drummond
(next in the line: KCP)
West
Durant Curry
Klay D.Green
Kawhi Aldridge
Harden CP3
Jokić Milsap
Westbrook PG13
Blake KAT
Lillard Gobert
Davis Cousins
Jimmy Conely
M.Gasol
Bledsoe D. Jordan
B.Lopez McCollum
G.Hill J. Holiday
Iguodala Dirk
H.Barnes Wiggins
(next in the line: Booker)
top 30 East 9: West 21 (30%:/70%)
top 40 East 15: West 25 (37,5%:62,5%)
top 50 East 19: West 31 (38%:62%)
So, by my count, 60-70% of the league's top talent is in the West.
East is wide open for us for years to come.
