Who would you say are the top 10 offensive players in the league in order? Are there any players who make it into this list despite probably not being top 10 overall players? (alien.top)

Candidates I can think of by position:

PG: Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Damian Lillard, Tyrese Haliburton, Kyrie Irving, Trae Young, DeAaron Fox

SG: Devin Booker, SGA, Donovan Mitchell

SF: Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum(for playoffs only also include Kawhi/Butler but we're in November right now)

PF: Giannis

C: Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, Domantas Sabonis

IMO AD is easily the player who falls out of contention when discussing top 10 offensive players rather than top 10 overall players but who takes his place?

Hot take but giannis is incredibly overhyped as a good 'offensive' player

Giannis does nothing except run into the paint and euro or spin. Hes great at it, but if im talking best offense then i need more than a one trick pony. We've seen games in the past how limiting that is for him.

Giannis is 9th in power forward offensive rating... From the guys above, kp is miles ahead and id have him as equal (better if he had a post game), lauri is second and has a great case, chet and ad are classified as pfs but are centers. Zion is 11th but honestly hes the same as giannis, one trick
