I have time for one of our favorite episodes to do here, the top 10 players in the NBA.

And this is now, I first did this in 2014, going back and looking at some of those, it's

always fascinating.

We try to do that and say where we've gotten wrong in previous iterations.

But the way we are doing this here is we are pretending that right now at this moment,

a new regular season is starting and saying which player would we want for the duration

of that regular season and playoffs for guys that are injured.

We assume that they are able to come back like Jamal Murray, for example, will assume

that he's recovered from his ACL.

But we do factor in the idea that he might not be as good after coming back from that ACL.

Like when we did Kevin Durant last year, for example, he was still in these top 10 rankings,

even though he was out with the Achilles, we were basically just trying to project what

that player would do in his next season and fit them in.

So that is the general philosophy here, but there's much more to it also.

And I think another important consideration here is that part of the thought experiment

for us is that you are putting this player on a random team.

And so what that means is players who are, whose skill sets are narrowly tailored to

run a specific scheme or have a specific role, generally that is going to hurt.

Whereas players who are more versatile or who are so good that they can elevate most if

not any surrounding talent to a certain level, that is more valuable.

And if you can fit in as a like these are the top 10 players, so it's fitting into a

smaller piece, isn't necessarily as important, but it is a real value at, especially for
