Tier 1: Jokic

Tier 2: Steph/Embiid

Tier 3: Luka/Giannis/Tatum

Tier 4: Booker/SGA/LeBron/KD

Tier 5: Ant/Hali/AD/Maxey/Butler

The full top 50 is here

What do ya'll think? Personally I think Maxey in the top 15 is a huuuge overreaction to a 10 games stretch. Most didn't even have him top 40 in the offseason.

Its not a bad list if you combine tiers 1, 2 & 3 and 4 & 5. Then we get rid of these small complaints of who is better in the small personal differences.

I feel that tier 1 should be Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Luka and Steph. Jokic in the mind of the majority is number 1 but I don't believe he is a separate tier.

Tier 2 is Tatum, Lebron, KD, Booker, SGA, Butler, Leonard. All capable of being just as good as a tier 1 player on any given day, but don't have the consistency or sustained performance be classed in tier 1 (age, injury or lack of history in SGA case). Tatum is probably a 1b tier and above this group.

Maxey shouldn't be put in these lists yet. His pla in All-NBA worthy but you need a few years of this under your belt to break into a top-15 list.

To me it should be Jokic tier 1 and Giannis, Steph, Embiid, Luka, Tatum in tier 2. I don't think you can differentiate any of those 5 that significantly.
