Since the regular season is coming to an end this week, it is prime time to do a top 10 player countdown. This list assumes that the player is healthy and 100% ⁽¹⁾. The best player is the player that you would want to build a new team around with ⁽²⁾. In other words, if I have Stephen Curry as my number 1, it means that I think Curry, as a foundation piece, gives the franchise the best chance of winning a chip ^{(3) (4)}.  To make things simpler, this would be for winning one season, so the player’s age and development is disregarded ⁽⁵⁾.

 

 

1. At least as hundred percent as a player like Derrick Rose can be… (Hold-on… I’m not saying he’s in the top 10…). This means that injury history is still a concern.
2. You, I am assuming, are a hall-of-fame GM, not Doc Rivers.
3. Does this mean I have Curry as #1? I’m giving it away, or am I?
4. Yes, poor Sam Hinkie, the best chance to win a chip, not the lottery.
5. Hey, trying to not think like Doc is already hard enough.
