I feel like these are the clear cut top 5 scorers in the NBA
Jokic, Steph, KD, Booker, Dame
Honorable mention: Luka, Embiid
Thoughts?
Trae has scored the 3rd most points in the league since 2019 while also comfortably leading in total assists but aight
bait
Disagree.
Replace Dame, Booker, or KD with Luka.
If we’re talking regular season only, replace Dame, Booker, and KD with Luka and Embiid.
If we’re talking playoffs only, replace Dame, Booker or KD with Luka and remove Embiid from the honorable mention.
Booker over Embiid and Luka is certainly a take
Seems like a purely aesthetics take.
booker is easily a better scorer, embiid abuses soft fts in the regular season
I dont care what anyone says. KD is not that guy anymore. Even on the Suns thats Devin’s team and you can see it with the way they play. He’s not top 5.
Tatum and Embiid are better scorers than KD in 2023
Was good with Joel embiid to the knicks
Is this scorers or shooters? Feels wrong to leave out Giannis whose only defensive counter is 3+ defenders rushing him.
Luka and Embiid>Jokic. Tatum and Trae belong here too.
OP, if your phone is ringing right now it’s probably ESPN offering you an internship exclusively to construct Top Five lists for them.
