Highest rank: 7 Lowest rank: 16 It's no secret that Harden experienced his fair share of struggles to begin the 2021-22 campaign, a fact that led to our staff having a variety of ideas of where to place the former MVP. (Harden ranked as high as seventh and as low as 16th.) MORE: Harden impresses in Christmas Day return That said, Harden's talent wa...
Highest rank: 7 Lowest rank: 14 George has risen to the occasion this season. MORE: How long will George be out? In Kawhi's absence, George has done his part to keep the Clippers afloat, averaging 24.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and a career-high 5.5 assists per contest. George will miss the first few weeks of the new year with a torn UCL in his right el...
Highest rank: 6 Lowest rank: 17 Early-season MVP talks may have subsided but Butler firmly lands in the top 10 despite also receiving a wide range of placements among voters. (Butler ranked as high as sixth and as low as 17th.) When on the floor, Butler's done it all for Miami this season, averaging 22.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.2 st...
Highest rank: 6 Lowest rank: 11 Embiid lands in the same spot as his preseason ranking and for good reason. Philly's All-NBA center remains as dominant as ever, averaging 20-plus points and 10-plus boards for a fifth consecutive season. Among Embiid's most dominant performances this season are a 42-point, 14-rebound showing after a rough bout with ...
Highest rank: 6 Lowest rank: 9 A consensus top-10 selection, Doncic lands at six once again. Dallas' wunderkind has been in and out of the lineup with nagging injuries to his knee, ankle and time in the league's health and safety protocols but when he's on the court, it's easy to forget he's still just 22 years old. In a largely down year for Donci...
Highest rank: 3 Lowest rank: 5 At 37 years of age, LeBron is still a consensus top-five player in the NBA. Let that marinate for a moment. MORE: Key stats from the LeBron-MJ GOAT debate Things haven't been great for the Lakers this season but it's no fault of James, who has been the one constant despite battling a few injuries early on in the seaso...
Highest rank: 2 Lowest rank: 4 The reigning MVP moves up a spot to land at fourth this time around. Despite the fact that the Nuggets have been decimated by injury, Jokic has kept them competitive and around the .500 mark for the entirety of the 2021-22 season. Somehow, he seems to be even better than he was during his MVP campaign of 2020-21. MORE...
Highest rank: 1 Lowest rank: 5 The NBA's 3-point King lands at No. 3. Curry, who is somehow also getting better with time, has been at the forefront of the Warriors' resurgence back towards the top of the NBA. After two seasons of missing the NBA Playoffs, Golden State looks like one of the teams best suited to win an NBA title and Curry is a big r...
Highest rank: 1 Lowest rank: 3 Not much has changed at this point, KD again lands at No. 2. After coming up short in 2021, Durant has been on a mission this season, as expected. Despite Harden missing significant time and Irving's inability to join the team up to this point in the season, the Nets have remained at the top of the Eastern Conference ...
Highest rank: 1 Lowest rank: 3 Who better, who else? Antetokounmpo again lands at No. 1 as he's parlayed the momentum of an all-time Finals performance into a dominant start to the 2021-22 season. In today's game, there isn't a player that can dominate on both ends of the floor like Giannis can. MORE: Giannis is on track to reach rare level of grea...
