    Overall a good list.

    Minor nitpicks like healthy Embiid should be in 1A for me and the gap between Tatum and Brown being too big. As a Knicks fan I like Brunson so high. I hope he can confirm that evaluation next season.

    Then there is KD. His skill is unquestionable, but if we speak of value, he isn’t 1B for me. IMO he has become a poison pill since Brooklyn.

    Teams change up their whole structure and trade away the kitchen sink to get him. What do they get? A strong team on paper that doesn’t produce results.

    When the going gets tough he requests a trade. The team is left with a roster built around him and few to no draft picks.

      Yeah I agree with pretty much all your points although I think given Embiids health history it makes sense keeping him at 1B. KD at this point should’ve been 2A and yeah thought it was a bit odd they had Brown so low he should’ve been 2B.
