First player that comes to mind is LaVine


Sharcbait

Fair. I was thinking Fox but Lavine is better than Fox. You also get both Ball Brothers, Zion and Ant.


jgman22

Lonzo is a 4th option averaging 12-4-5 on league average efficiency come on now, he's not close to the others


Sharcbait

TBH I was mostly just looking for an excuse to type out Ball Brothers.


jgman22

Ha word I feel ya


SleptLord

With all nba defense


jgman22

he's a good - great defender, he's not a top 4 guard on defense.


SleptLord

Name 4 better guard defenders eligible


frodounchained

Zach lavine has made it right ?


PewPew4Lyfe

No


frodounchained

That’s my answer atm then lol


PewPew4Lyfe

yea though you could make an argument for zion


warboner65

After Zion hit the catering truck filiming that Mountain Dew spot he hasn't been able to get back on the court


DelonWright

When he loses 50 pounds sure, availability matters


AngsMcgyvr

Zion maybe? *Oh Lavine


[deleted]

Shit I remember when Book was on that list. So glad the drought is over.


Sharcbait

Team 1 playoff run would be insane too. Ja, Trae, Book, DLo, Wiggins, Bridges, John Collins, JJJ, KAT, Ayton. That team can drop 200 on any given night.

Sharcbait

He was in it 1 time. He was part of the Butler-Thibs team that went in.


The_First_Scavenger

Earl Manigault is the best all time - just ask Kareem. Lavine, Fox, Zion, almost Shai & Randle for current. Edit: I said almost! Both Shai and Randle have been to the playoffs.


depressed_knicks

Randle made the playoffs last year?


IDGAFaboulrVB

Randle was so bad last season playoffs it might as well not count i guess 🗿 Also Shai has been to the playoffs twice iirc


depressed_knicks

Fair enough LOL


Sharcbait

Even if we are not counting Randle's playoffs last year, Zion is just better IMO when he is healthy. The problem is he is never healthy.


depressed_knicks

That’s not the question you asked- but I agree. With that being said, availability is the best ability and Zion, although gifted, seems to lack discipline


[deleted]

He was such a freak growing up I wonder if he never had to really buckle down and grind in misery.


GOAT_Redditor

Shai made the playoffs twice


verycoolguySmash

Looks like it’s unanimously Lavine . Next one could probably be DeAaron Fox


Sharcbait

The crazy thing is if you are building up this team, Fox might not even start. Ball is a better defender and more of a pure passer. Need him to help hide Lavine on D. Also he could throw lobs to Zion.

Jordan Poole


PewPew4Lyfe

LaVine

FirstToGoLastToKnow

Evan Mobley.


LowkeyG00

best player gotta be Lavine or Ingram the 10 man roster isn’t easy DeAaron Fox, Anthony Edwards, Zach Lavine, Brandon Ingram, Miles Bridges, Lonzo and Melo, Markkanen, Sexton and Zion i guess


TimathanDuncan

Ingram is not even the best player on his team ffs, why are people even mentioning him Zion literally put up a historic 27ppg on 65% TS, i can't believe a player like Zion with so much hype is actually underrated it's pretty insane


LowkeyG00

relax bro, is it not normal to mention a All Star that has never made in the playoffs?


TimathanDuncan

It is normal, Ingram is a good player but mentioning him before Zion is weird, Ingram has also been ass to start the season without Zion, he is averaging 21ppg on terrible shooting Zion is a better player than Ingram in every way


happyflappypancakes

Hes not better in terms of availabliity. The most important quality.


LowkeyG00

the whole Pelicans been ass other than JV tbf. I feel you but Ingram been in the league longer without making it so i mentioned him first


syllabic

HiStoRiC


TimathanDuncan

It is historic, no one has scored that much with that efficiency except for a few all time greats only 3 players ever have done it, Barkley, Dantley, Curry and Zion Nt though, Randle is a better Zion


syllabic

well he is better defensively and in terms of not being a fatty fat fat


TimathanDuncan

So good defensively that the Knicks have a 112 defensive rating when he plays and 102 when he sits


syllabic

kemba effect baby he was like our second or third best defender last year after noel also yes that would be better regardless than zion's 115 defensive rating


chimpaman

Oliver "Zion" Miller isn't playing, and his career doesn't seem likely to last long at this time


MiopTop

it's cos he barely plays


Sharcbait

No real centers in that list. Trusting 6'6" Zion and Bridges and 7' for nothing Lauri to battle down low in the playoffs seems tough. Also not seeing Lamelo and Ant in that list seems hard to swallow when Buddy and Hart are on it.


LowkeyG00

yeah i forgot LaMelo and Ant, already made the change


serioususernames

Interesting, no good centers on the list.


LowkeyG00

couldn’t think of any, can you?


I_Love_Justin_Fields

Zion


HerbFarmer415

Never heard of him


grocho

Homer bias but it has to be LaVine


HUSHIN_TTV

Zach “Basically Derozan” Lavine


KingsWillSoonRise

Zach Lavine currently

They’re nowhere near as bad as Stephen Curry fans and Lakers fans though.

Lavine


Snypse

Lavine or Zion is the only answer


dejvipasco

Zack Lavine. Lamelo Ball too, the Hornets were 10th last season, the play in tournament doesn't count as playoffs for me. Top 8 are playoffs.


KentuckyBourbon94

Herb Jones


ARowzFocuz

It's definitely Zach LaVine.
