After that moment of silence and respect for the “Queen;” we will now proceed to the ‘nitty gritty.’ For the first time readers who might not be aware of how the roster is constructed; it goes like this. We get the top five players at each position; follow by, who we believe are the second best players at that position. We do know that a lot of players play multiple positions, but we list them according to how they are listed by their respective teams. Some may say these are not the top ten players, but the top players at each position. Call it what you want, but I doubt if another ten can beat this one. Yeah life would be easier if Paul George was at the two, or DeMarcus Cousin was at the five. But such is life.

Props to the loyal readers for the support, you guys are the motivation for me dropping these every season. Those who know me know how I feel about my hoops, so it is a pleasure to write this. To my credit, I have been pretty accurate throughout the years, in regard to picking the top hoopers in the league. Remember I was the guy who told you Kevin Love was a ‘Class A Bum’ back in 2013. Back when he was averaging 26 and 13 for the Timberwolves.

I didn’t bring that up just to toot my own horn. Or to shit on K.Love (I might be picking on him a lit bit; sorry Kevin Love) I just wanted to remind y’all; it takes more than pretty offensive stats to make the top ten lists. Defense, fundamentals and intangibles all play a factor in my selections. Not to mention team success and how much the player contributes to that success. I frown upon the fact that Love never led the Timberwolves to the playoffs while he was on the team. On the other hand you see someone like Anthony Davis send his team to the playoffs last year, by making the only three point basket he attempted all season. That’s the type of thing I look at when analyzing each position on the BTN roster.
