If KL plays this season like he played in the finals, he will be a top 15 by the end of the year. Not too many small forwards can be walking double-doubles and still get 2-3 steals a night.

Pretty accurate list to be honest. The writer who wrote on Tim's ranking pretty much s on the Tim to Dwight comparison at the moment and gives Tim a lot of props.
Just posting the top 20 and the rest you can find on the site. There are 6 spurs in top 100. I wonder how the espn ranking will compare?
20. Kyrie Irving G, Cleveland Cavaliers 19. Blake Griffin F, Los Angeles Clippers 18. LaMarcus Aldridge F, Portland Trail Blazers 17. Chris Bosh F, Miami Heat 16. Dirk Nowitzki F, Dallas Mavericks 15. Stephen Curry G, Golden State Warriors 14. Marc Gasol C, Memphis Grizzlies 13. Kevin Love F, Minnesota Timberwolves 12. Derrick Rose G, Chicago Bulls 11. James Harden G, Houston Rockets 10. Carmelo Anthony F, New York Knicks 9. Kobe Bryant G, Los Angeles Lakers 8. Dwyane Wade G, Miami Heat 7. Dwight Howard C, Houston Rockets 6. Tim Duncan F/C, San Antonio Spurs 5. Russell Westbrook G, Oklahoma City Thunder 4. Tony Parker G, San Antonio Spurs 3. Chris Paul G, Los Angeles Clippers 2. Kevin Durant F, Oklahoma City Thunder 1. LeBron James F, Miami Heat

Melo > Wade, Bryant and Howard.
Melo hasn't won a thing.
For comparison, last year in the ESPN Rankings of 2012. Tony was 7 and Tim was 10. Manu was 25.
Although, some in here would have the Argentine ranked 405.
For real? Wow as much as Manu sucked last year, his play was at worst that of an "average" player's.
2nd best PG, and best big man in the game... sounds nice
Meh... SI having 3-5 as PGs shows they aren't to be taken seriously.
Decent list, but Wade, Kirby, Westbrick, Love, and Aldridge are overrated, tbh....
Aldridge is the best PF in the NBA right now.
No he's not.... Blake is a better rebounder, better passer, shoots at a higher clip, and gets to the line more, the only thing Aldridge is demonstrably better than him at is free throw shooting, tbh..... also, if you want to get technical, LeBron is the best PF in the NBA right now....
I won't argue with your strong, complete and fully true comment.
LeBron will always be a SF, even though he plays a lot of PF. Todays game and mostley the Heat roster makes him a PF. He would not play any PF with the Spurs or even your beloved Clippers.
exchange Irving and Gasol's position and we're good
