With LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant all aging, the claim for the best American-born player has seemingly been up for grabs. Jayson Tatum held that claim before going down with an Achilles injury. However, his injury opened the door for this debate to be reignited.
In many people's eyes, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is the next logical choice for this honor. Regardless, according to a an ESPN survery of scouts, coaches, and executives, Steph Curry still holds the claim as the best American player.
Curry slightly edged out Edwards, getting 11 to eight votes.
