On September 9, since there are no games in the league, US media often make some rankings during this period. They do this to attract attention and gain traffic. Everyone is more concerned about the strongest players in all positions. After all, whether the players are at the peak of each season will affect the rankings. Next, let’s take a look at the top ten players in all positions in all positions given by the US media. Is it reasonable?

point guard:

point guard top ten are: 1 Alexander, 2 Doncic, 3 Curry, 4 Brunson, 5 Halliburton, 6 Jamorant, 7 Kyrie Irving, 8 Cunningham, 9 Trae Young, 10 Harden. After Alexander won the MVP, FMVP and scoring champion last season, he also received more recognition. If it weren't for these honors, Alexander would not be ranked first. Doncic is also the top five in the league, and because of insufficient great honors, he ranks second.

Although Curry has lost his peak, he still ranks third with his excellent shooting ability. In terms of shooting skills, Curry ranks first in the league. Brunson is one of the best ball-holding cores in active service. Halliburton has led the team to the division finals in the past two years. Morant is overrated at the top of Irving, and Cunningham may also be ahead of Morant. Harden is also underestimated. Although he is not at the peak, his team-leading ability is at the forefront of this group. The top ten points guards are: 1 Edwards, 2 Booker, 3 Mitchell, 4 Bain, 5 Clay, 6 Bills, 7 Raven, 8 Reeves, 9 Dortmund, 10 Daniels. Edwards has led the team with excellent performance in the past two seasons, and Edwards' future cap is worth looking forward to. Booker is one of the best shooting ability points and guards in the active league, and he is top-notch in the middle distance. Mitchell has also had excellent results in leading the team in the past few years.

Bain has a combination of offense and defense, but his ball handling ability needs to be improved. In addition, he has been a third-in-chief role in the Grizzlies in the past few years and has not been played out. Clay definitely can't rank in this position now. Although Bill has been questioned a lot in the past few years, his ability is fine. Lavin has been overrated, and his ability to lead the team in recent years has really been bad. Reeves' playoffs are not practical. Dort and Daniels are both top defenders.

Small forwards

The top ten small forwards are: 1 James, 2 Durant, 3 Leonard, 4 Butler, 5 Jaylen Brown, 6 George, 7 Jayway, 8 Barnes, 9 DeRozan, 10 Amen. Although James will be 41 years old next season, he is still in the top ten in the league, so it is okay to be in this position. Although Durant is not at the peak, Durant's singles ability is still top-notch, but his physical fitness is obviously not as good as in the past few years.

Leonard has no peak either. If these top three are at the peak, it is estimated that all the three of them will be among the top five in the league. Butler has been underestimated for his sacrifice since joining the Warriors. George is ranked high, and it is hard to say whether George can recover to his peak next season. Jewe has gained more recognition through his outstanding performance. Barnes is comprehensive enough but the ceiling does not look high, DeRozan's middle distance master, and Amen's top defender.

Power forward

The top ten power forwards are: 1 Antetokounmpo, 2 Tatum, 3 Banchero, 4 Zion, 5 Dream Chasing, 6 Randall, 7 Sika, 8 Markanen, 9 Gordon, 10 Flag. Antetokounmpo is ranked first in the top three in the league. There are probably not many doubts. Although Tatum suffered a serious injury, his performance in the past few seasons is worthy of such a ranking. Banchero is only 22 years old, and the upper limit he can reach in the future is definitely worth looking forward to.

Although Zion has suffered a lot of serious injuries in the past few years, he has been able to squeeze into this list with his talent. He ranks a little higher in dream pursuit. In addition to his scoring ability, he is very good at chasing dreams in other aspects. The height Randall can reach in the future is worth looking forward to. One of the most versatile forwards in Siakam is often sacrificed for the team. Marca is currently a top space shooter, Gordon is very versatile, and Flag is worth looking forward to.

Center

Center top ten are: 1 Jokic, 2 Wenban, 3 Embiid, 4 Anthony Davis, 5 Adebayo, 6 Downs, 7 Gobert, 8 Shenjing, 9 Jaren Jackson, and 10 Sa. The number one player in the Jokic league, there will be no controversy in this position. Can the literary class rank so high now? If Embiid can recover and return, he will be the second. Unpopular should play in the No. 4 position next season, not the No. 5 position.

Adebayo is very versatile, but he is likely to play No. 4 next season. One of the best space insiders in Towns is the top second in charge. Although Gobert has encountered many doubts in the past few years, his abilities are fine. Shin Kyung performed well in the European Championships and may be better next season, and he feels like he has evolved. Jaren Jackson won DPOY, and Sabonis ranked low. Having said that, what do you want to say about the rankings of these five positions? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
