So I’m scrolling through the top big man lists, trying to find Kevon Looney’s new place in the hierarchy. I pulled open Bleacher Report’s “Top 25 bigs for 2022-2023 NBA season” prediction, and lazily scanned over the top 5.
At #1 was Giannis Antetokoummpo? Sure, he’s a monster, although I wonder if he’s truly better than #2 on the list, Nikola Jokic. Jokic is the current reigning champion and NBA Finals MVP, and probably should have won his third MVP in a row last season. Anyways 3-5 were Joel Embiid, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Anthony Davis, which makes perfect sense.
