    You had to reach with Durant as PF. Might as well throw in Melo and Bron in there too.

    Since Jules played center, how are you not going to involve frontline players? In which case, he's definitely not top 5.

    When you consider Jules ability to rebound and push, how are you not going to consider Bron and Simmons as point forwards? Again, not top 5.

    Plus, I'm kinda past statistics if you're on a bad team. Producing while on a good team (which means those stats helped towards title contention) is the factor that should get you paid.

    Statistically, Jules killed this year...he has value...no doubt! But frankly that doesn't mean squat towards handing him a bag and even on a bad team, he didn't drop video game numbers.

    Either way, Jules gets paid this summer via S&T (for salary purposes), via getting matched, or let go cause the cost is too high, or even kept at about 15M (imo still getting paid and hardly insulting like some of you consider that amount to be).

    I said PF. That's what Julius is. He can play the C position as well, but that doesn't make him a C. Same as Durant. He's a 3 that can play the 2 or 4 as well.

    Besides, the original argument was that no one predicted a breakout season from Julius. The Top 5 PF stuff is obviously subjective.

    You know he's listed at PF right?

    seems like a quality individual

    and no nonsense in the media

    two quiet guys: Randle, Ingram

    limelight lovers: Lonzo, Kuzma, Hart, (History: Clarkson, D'Angelo, Swaggy, etc)

    It takes all kinds when you build a team, but I do appreciate him just doing work and coming to play every night.

    I'm honestly not sure Lonzo likes the limelight as much as his Dad bred him in it. If not for Lavar, I bet Lonzo would be real quiet and neversay a word.

    Yeah. Never dreamed we "might" be getting Leonard too but I'll believe that when I see it. If just :cool: PG and LBJ I still think he will be here.

    Listed where? BKREF? How does that matter?

    Draymond started 70 games this year. Bell, Looney, McGee, Zaza started 91 games combined.

    Durant has played his entire career at SF and he starts as a SF on the Warriors. He's a SF that plays PF occassionally on a team that runs a small lineup occassionally. Don't get it twisted.

    Besides, you have BOTH Durant and Draymond on your list :D If Durant is a PF then Draymond is a C.
