Totally off, GA should be 3rd behind SGA and Joker IMO..Wemby is too young (3 years exp) and GA has 13 years exp with 2 MVPs and 1 ring..Luka has 1 Finals appearance and no MVPs or rings..WTF

He will be top 2 & it won't be 2 after this season

Nikola jokic is the only one that can go bands for bands with Giannis and that’s just cause of his high offensive production Otherwise the best two way player in the league has to be Giannis. Doncic is good but isn’t better, shai is also good but isn’t better and Victor? Cmon

I’d correct them: 1. Nikola Jokić 2. Victor Wembanyama 3. Giannis Antetokounmpo 4. Luka Dončić 5. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander And honestly, Giannis vs. Wemby close

Don't think he's scoring more than 30 this year, let alone having a career high scoring season. Just don't see Spo taxing him like that.
