battle of the hoops unicorns —2—

scary to think about either simmons or embiid becoming better than giannis or brow bcuz then you're prob talking about... the best player in the NBA and another top 3 guy?

yeah to me giannis has two pretty big weaknesses: below avg shooter and below avg passer

ben has one massive weakness: shooting

if simmons and embiid continue up they will def have two top 5 guys in the league in give or take 3 years

i think i'd go

1. brow
2. giannis
3. simmons
4. embiid

any ordering here would be defensible tho and it's not hard to imagine embiid and simmons being 1-2 on this list in 3-5 years.

i do think that the bigger sample sizes for the older players still matter. they've played more and have already established the realization of their upside. things can still go wrong for simmons & embiid in terms of growing their games.

i think embiid has to be fourth in this group simply due to health. i'd take giannis over simmons right now bcuz he's far more developed as a scorer--passing is great and simmons probably will be an all timer in that regard but putting up 27 a game is prob still more valuable.

what giannis is a real good passer

brow is tops now, i think embiid has the highest ceiling

nah..in a battle of ceilings I think embiid is probably third. to be clear all three guys have like top 25 all time potential

we are blessed

embiid is rudy gobert with 3 point range and swagger

And midrange game and post game

*clicks like*

I wanna go dark horse here and say Simmons

I’ve watched a a lot of that guy an there’s just so much talent packed into him and I think being a vain dick will actually help him flex it to destroy ppl

Worry is that it will prevent him from listening to anyone and become a shooter outside of 5 feet like ever

Real talk tho I love all these guys and it’s amazing that we still have probably the third best player ever still in the league the greatest shooter ever in the league and then a pack of possible all timers ready to take over possibly any moment

the nba is good

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

still think I have to vote brow

yeah i figure if any of these guys is a lock to be top 10 all time it's brow

putting brow on this list is not really fair to the others

yeah for sure, tho he's only re-separated himself pretty recently. at the all-star break, giannis was a legit MVP candidate and embiid was starting to really dominate, while davis was kind of being overshadowed by boogie. I bet a poll from then would be closer

ppl were soo jumping the gun abt giannis, he has mvp talent but theres a lot about his game that needs polishing, just like any young player entering their prime

putting brow on this list is not really fair to the others
