Here we go with another player rankings thread...He's not a top 10 player. I think he's probably top 15-20. In no order, here are the top 15 IMO:Kobe BryantTim DuncanLeBron JamesDwyane WadeKevin GarnettDirk NowitzkiAllen IversonTracy McGradySteve NashJason KiddShaquille O'NealElton BrandPaul PierceShawn MarionChauncey Billups/Yao Ming (tough to decide for me)I would put Gil in the top 20, he's probably #16-17 on my list.

Top 15 possibly, but top 10, no way. Maybe in a few years, but right now he still has a few things to work on.
My top 15 is:1. Kobe2. Lebron3. DWade4. KG5. Dirk6. Tracy McGrady7. Iverson8. Duncan9. Steve Nash10. Paul Pierce11. Elton Brand12. Gilbert Arenas13. Shawn Marion14. Yao Ming15. Chris Bosh/AmareHe's close, but as Lightsout said, he's got a few things to work on.

Amare still hasn't proven that he'll bounce back on a good note. And I would have Chauncey Billups in there over CB4, he's still young while Billups is a proven top 5 PG and a Finals MVP.But Arenas over Brand? No, definitely not. Gil is a very good scorer, and he has a solid all-around game to go with it. Brand is a good scorer, a top rebounder, an excellent defender, a good shot blocker, and a world-class guy (Gilbert is a little weird and says/does questionable things). No way you can have Gilbert Arenas over Elton Brand.EDIT: And despite me being a Celtics fan and despite Paul Pierce being my favorite player, I would put Brand ahead of him too.
I put this in a thread already. Look for Top 15, it's on the second page.I see your point, Elton over Arenas is probably accurate. I'll conform and put Brand over Gilbert.
Another top 10?I'm not going to put mine in here, but I'd include him in a Top 10 list just because he's so dynamic and versatile. He really is a damn good player.
No, I just put mine in to show where I think he ranks. This thread is solely on how Gilbert Arenas ranks among the league.
