NBA Players Today

This is a rendition of the Ryen Rusillo best NBA players list. This kind of conversation is enjoyable, especially in the off season. I've made a couple of adjustments, and while there's no exact order, the players are generally grouped in tiers. If you start to form teams, it soon becomes apparent that there's a lack of size in top quality players. Small ball isn't usually successful.
