Predicting the top 10 players at each position in the 2025 NBA season
the power forwards. No..
10 Jaren Jackson Jr.
Memphis is gonna come back the force and he’s the reason why.
The former Defensive Player of the year
may not have kept his team afloat without jaw,
but he still averaged 22 points at his best.
He LED the league in blocks,
and if Memphis is gonna contend,
he has to be a top five defender
and grab more than just five rebounds per game.
I think he will and we’ll get the best of him.
No.. 9 Pascal Siakam
it was crucial for Indiana’s playoff run
as one of the most versatile players in the game,
he averaged 21, 7
and 4
and LED the Pacers in scoring and rebounding throughout the playoffs.
He has legit defense
to a squad that was in the bottom third for defensive rating
and as their No. 2 option
with the rest of their talents,
they could be in for another run.
No.. 8 KAT
while he may be a center at heart,
he plays the forward. Go bear!
The self proclaimed best shooting big man of all time
has numbers to back it up at over 41% from three last season.
And he showed he can be a legit defensive asset
with his defense in Round 2.
While he struggled to stay consistent offensively in the playoffs.
He’s still their No. 2 guy and they’ll go as far as him.
And aunt go. No..
7 Lori Markkanen.
He’s one of the best stretch bigs in the game,
shooting 40% from three and is a matchup nightmare.
He’ll start the floor scoring the paint
and is a walking 23 to 25 points and eight rebounds.
While he won’t see the playoffs in Utah,
hopefully he’ll be in a winning situation sooner than later.
No.. 6
Julius Randle. We’ve forgotten just how good he is when he’s out there.
He’s put up basically 25 and 10 his last two years
and is a brutal bully ball force.
New York missed him in the post season because if they had a second
legit score option they would have gone to the conference finals.
If he comes back with the force as the 1B to Brunson’s 1A,
they’ll be a threat to come out of the east and top five on the way.
