For example, I think the gap between Immanuel Quickley and Jordan Poole/Tyler Herro is very close and I’d argue Quickley defense might put him over the edge. Most would never put Quick in that tier but I personally would

Another is Trae Young and Shai Gilgeous Alexander. People have no problem talking about shai like he’s a top 10 player but then rank Trae in the 20s and 30s even though we’ve seen Trae preform in the playoffs

    I’m gonna do the opposite and say the gap between Maxey and Herro/Poole is a lot bigger than people think

      Yeah, Maxey can be a #2 on a good team.

      Those guys aren’t more than #3s on a good team.

        A team with the current MVP as the #1 and Maxey as the #2 probably isn’t a good team unless they have a very good supporting cast. More like a play-in team probably, not taking by any means but won’t have the firepower to take down the “good” teams like Bucks, Celtics, Suns, Lakers, etc.
