Predicting the top 10 players at each position in the 2025 NBA season
the power forwards. No. 5 Zion.
When he’s healthy, his ceiling is unlimited.
He played the most games of his career last season
and over the last month of the year he averaged 25 points per game.
That said, it was a shame he wasn’t healthy in the playoffs
because he could have changed that series
even in the play. And he had 40 points before he got injured.
Now with him in tip top shape and healthy as ever,
we might get his best year.
No. 4 Paolo. He’s the guy in Orlando.
He’s got the ideal build
and he almost got the magic its first playoff series win since 2010,
averaging 27 8 and 4 against Cleveland.
He handles it greats for others,
gets his own bucket,
and while the load may have been a little much right now,
with more experience for this roster
to limit turnovers and be a future top 10 player.
No. 3 Jay Tatum. Call him a three if you want,
but he was mostly the four for the champions.
His game is self explanatory
as someone who could be the engine of an offense
with the right players. He puts up 30 points in a sleep
and his all round game was on full display,
leading Boston to points, rebounds, and assists in the playoffs.
While his summer is not going according to plan,
he’ll be out for revenge. And try to go back to back No.2 KD.
He’s simply still the best pure scorer in the game.
The 14th time All Star, dropped 27,
6 and 5, shot 41% from three,
and while Phoenix got swept in Round 1.
With his rejuvenation on Team USA,
this could be the year he comes out
and wins multiple playoff series for the first time in four years.
But at No. 1 Giannis.
He’s the most dominant force averaging 30,
11, and 6,
has finished at least top five for the MVP for six straight years,
and it’s been a shame we haven’t seen him healthy in the playoffs
for two seasons with Milwaukee being slept on.
Be sure to remind everyone how scary he is
and it won’t shock me to see him in the finals.
