I would change this list a little bit if I was running a team in "win now mode". This list has nothing to do with the Blazers, this is if I was building a team to win a championship for the next few years. 1a. Jimmy Butler 1b. Klay Thompson 3. Eric Bledsoe 4. CJ McCollum 5. Bradley Beal 6. Andrew Wiggins 7. Victor Oladipo 8. James Harden# 9. Wesley Matthews* 10. Danny Green 11. Nic Batum** 12. Demar Derozan 13. JJ Reddick 14. Monta Ellis 15. Eric Gordon Honorable Mentions:Alec Burks; Avery Bradley *I ranked Wes low while it's still unknown how much of his explosiveness and defensive quickness he still has. I have a feeling if I did this list at the end of the season he would be a few places higher. **Charlotte is playing Batum at the 2, so if you count things like that I would include him on this list. I considered adding Giannis because he could potentially play the 2, but I didn't want to go down that path. #JamesHardenSucks
Can't really argue the list. I love Oladipo. I'd probably put him above Wiggins, though... hell, I'd put him above Beal too. So, I guess I did argue it. lol.
'Dipo is one of my favorite players, but until he gets on track this season I can't put him above a lot of the top guys.
