SI Top 100 Players (100-31 so far)

Why couldnt they?

Look up Hornet's playoff performances, in which Kemba struggled mightily. Donovan's already a better player than Kemba. No question about it.

It's kind of like the Hornets are trash outside of Kemba and the Jazz aren't.

Why HAVEN"T they?

Because basketball is a team game.

*Also, CJ McCollum has games of 41 and 38 in the playoffs.

Players who have put up comparable or better stats than Donovan for multiple seasons are going to get the nod ahead of him. If you can't see why then you're just being a homer.

Kemba has also gone for 35+ in a few playoff games. I'm not saying I don't think Donovan is better, but let's not sell these other guys short. CJ and Kemba are both tremendous offensive players.

Simmons 26
Hayward 25
Rudy 14
Paul George 11

Kemba absolutely could, but he gives up quite a bit on the other end.

He couldn't

For the record, Kemba scored 35+ only once in the payoff and has more games in which he scored less than 15 points. All on a much lower effiency of course. Kemba is overrated even as a scorer and Hornets'd trade him for Donovan in a heartbeat

And Kemba has his TRASH teammates simply outscored and outperformed him in over half of those playoffs games.

Naw, I think a lot of people think that DM is going to have a rough year as the focus of the other teams defense. Granted, they would be ignoring last year's playoffs, but they are going to do it. Mainly a lot of people just don't watch the Jazz.

DM has already been the main focus of the other teams defense for several months

Then how'd you explain Oladipo, who's performed at a allstar level for only a year?

He averaged better stats, was a better defensive player, and a longer resume.

My bad, he scored 34 in one of the games I was thinking of. Like I said though, Donovan is better imo, but it's foolish to say that he or CJ couldn't have big playoff scoring games. It's a testament to how great he is that he's better than those guys, who are very talented in their own right.

This is probably the most fair top 100 list I've ever seen.

I can't take a list seriously when it has Al Horford ranked ahead of Kyrie Irving and Jrue Holiday ranked ahead of Donovan Mitchell.
