The 1st overall pick was Jokic! No surprise there, based on the last thread I've added Tatum, Curry, and Butler to the poll.

Please let me know in the comments other worthy candidates to insert for #3 overall. We will allow each poll to stay up for 3 days until the next poll is created.

Are we really putting in guys like SGA, Mitchell, Sabonis over Tatum?

Maybe there's an argument for Durant or AD? They have major durability concerns though

If you have a better suggestion than a top 5 MVP vote getter and best player on the team with the 2nd best overall record, do let me know your reasoning for it

To win a title next year? I'd definitely take KD or AD over Tatem

I tend to think KD is pretty overrated considering that he has done absolutely nothing outside of insanely stacked teams.

If you really examine his post season success? It’s pretty barren considering he has played with:

Curry, Klay, Westbrook, Harden, CP3, Booker, and Irving

Even LeGM would be hard pressed to compete with that level of surrounding talent

Cp3 got injured again this year and he's old af. Plus it was their first season together with a disgruntled ayton and no bench. Wasn't even a full season together.
Thunder had a real shot in 2016 and had to play Lebron when they made the finals. Then their cheap owner refused to pay.
Did all 3 ever play on the nets in the playoffs? At least one was injured each time. Even then, if his foot is 1 inch shorter what conversation are we having?

Zero chance that Embiid ever gets votes on this forum out of spite against me :rofl:

These results have been confirmed on multiple other sports forums though. You’re just in denial 🤷‍♂️

"Multiple other sports forums"

Seems legit. 🤭
