I find it amusing that folks can't convince themselves to put THJ at 6th when he is currently top 5 odds to win 6th man of the year. There are mentions of streaky and inefficient. His TS is 57 right now. That is in line with the other 6th man candidates. I can see the argument that you would prefer somebody who could distribute the ball more, but he is a classic 6th man.
1. Luka
2. Kyrie
4. Lively (he is already a top 75 player in EPM as a rookie)
5. Exum (The sample is small. If he can continue this level of play, he is good enough to be on a contending starting lineup)
6. THJ (classic 6th man)
8. DJJ (coming back down to earth. He is still our second best defender and a willing 3 point shooter)
8. Maxi (when healthy)
8. Powell (your typical contending backup center is not any better than Powell, especially when you look at the data)
9. Green (Still have hope he can become a quality rotation player. He was last season before the elbow)
10. GWill (A real disappointment. He is not contention rotation worthy right now)
The rest are depth and projects
