I am 24 years of age. The following players are my age, or younger in this league, and are better than me at basketball.
Point Guards:
1. Derrick Rose PG 24 6'3'' 190 B B- A+ A- C- C
19.0 PPG / 4.5 RPG / 9.6 APG / 1.6 TOPG / 2.1 SPG
MVP candidate D-Rose always puts up big numbers and takes care of the ball. Doesn't have to do all the scoring with his buddy D-Wade on his team too.
2. Stephen Curry PG 24 6'3'' 185 B- A B B D C
23.9 PPG / 3.1 RPG / 9.3 APG / 56% FG / 51.7 3P%
Steph has put up big shooting nunmbers all his life. Although his GM looks to be shopping him as of late, he knows how to shine in the bright lights of NYC.
3. Kyrie Irving PG 20 6'2'' 185 B+ B+ A- A- D+ A
21.9 PPG / 4.5 RPG / 9.4 APG
The Jersey kid is having a terrific year and is showing everyone why he thinks he deserved to win ROY last year, not Rubio.
4. Russell Westbrook PG 24 6'3'' 187 B A- A- A+ C B
19.5 PPG / 6.6 RPG / 7.9 APG / 2.4 SPG / 47.7 FG% / 45.7 3P%
The Magic combo guard has increased his stats in every category since he was drafted #1 overall 3 years ago. Defense and athleticism defines his game.
5. Ricky Rubio PG 22 6'4'' 180 C+ C+ A A- C- A
18.1 PPG / 5.5 / 7.3 / 1.4 TOPG
Hard to not put him up here as he is "doing a lot with so little". The Clips have been playing well as of late and RR has something to do with that. Passes a lot and turns it over rarely.
Shooting Guards:
1. Josh Selby SG 21 6'1'' 180 B A- B+ B D+ B
26.4 PPG / 5.3 RPG / 4.0 APG
The second-year man has developed into a scoring freak.
2. Daequan Cook SG 24 6'6'' 203 B B+ B B- C- C
18.8 PPG / 5.6 RPG / 4.3 APG / 2.2 SPG
Hard to believe he's only 24 being that this is his 7th year in the league.
3. Bradley Beal PG 19 6'4'' 177 B- A- C B C- A
18.4 PPG / 4.9 RPG / 2.9 APG
The Suns SG (moved to PG for some reason) is playing consistantly, though their PG rotation isn't.
4. Tyreke Evans SG 23 6'5'' 195 B B B+ B C A
17.7 PPG / 6.0 RPG / 3.3 APG
Evans has had to adjust, whether he was given the PG spot or forced to play off the ball. Regardless, he is a really nice athlete and all-around guard.
5. Xavier Henry SG 21 6'6'' 210 B B C A- C B
15.7 PPG / 5.5 / 2.3 APG / 2.0 SPG
X-man has stepped up his game, especially his tenacious defense.
Small Forwards:
1. Kevin Durant SF 24 6'9'' 215 B+ A- C A B- B
27.1 PPG / 8.5 RPG / 47.7 FG% / 46.1 3P%
KD has always been regarded as a good defender out of college and in SSBL, but had his first really-good scoring TC in a while. And his 27 PPG shows that.
2. Evan Turner SF 24 6'7'' 205 B- A- A- B+ C+ A
21.9 PPG / 6.5 RPG / 9.6 APG / 46.8 3P%
Turner has adjusted pretty nicely in Sacramento and gets a few triple doubles here and there.
3. Derrick Williams SF 21 6'8'' 235 B+ B- C A- B- A
17.9 PPG / 6.9 RPG / 2.3 APG
He and Kyrie have developed a nice friendship and he shows his versatility night-in, night-out.
4. Michael Beasley SF 23 6'9'' 235 B+ B C- A- C+ C
17.2 PPG / 6.6 RPG
People seem to forget that he can still put the ball in the hopp, and he's only 23
5. Donte Greene SF 24 6'10'' 220 B A- C A- C+ B
14.6 PPG / 6.5 RPG / 2.0 APG / 52.8 3P%
Since coming out of Syracuse, Donte has shot the ball well and is a stretch PF who can make it rain from beyond the arc.
Power Fowards:
1. Blake Griffin PF 23 6'10'' 251 A- D+ C- A A- B
19.3 PPG / 12.9 RPG / 4.2 BPG
Do I really need to tell you how great of a player Blake has been since leaving Oklahoma after only his freshman year?
2. Markieff Morris PF 23 6'10'' 235 B C+ C B+ B- B
17.6 PPG / 8.8 RPG
Here's a player whom people thought would be a non-contributer, but has adjusted his game to be productive. Can even step out to hit the three.
3. Anthony Davis PF 19 6'10'' 220 B C- D+ B+ C+ A
12.3 PPG / 8.1 RPG
The rookie big man has a lot of potential but with the youth movement in Milwaukee it may take some time to make a definite impact.
4. Marcus Morris PF 23 6'9'' 225 B+ C C- B+ B- B
12.5 PPG / 7.8 RPG 1.5 BPG
Is a very solid player. Hasn't blown up like his bro, but definitely contributes on a nightly basis.
5. Tristan Thompson PF 21 6'8'' 235 B D+ D B+ B- A
8.7 PPG / 8.6 RPG / 1.5 BPG
He's still young and learning the game. Numbers don't jump out at you and wow you, but he can develop into a very good player in a few years.
Centers::
1. Greg Oden C 24 7'0'' 257 B- D F+ A- B+ C
12.6 PPG / 11.2 RPG / 3.2 BPG
Since his 6th man days in Detroit, now a Sonic, "The Chameleon" is a force downlow who blocks anything in his path. Learned a lot from his buddy Marcin Gortat.
2. Brook Lopez C 24 7'0'' 260 B+ C- C- A- C+ B
15.7 PPG / 9.0 RPG / 2.5 BPG
Brook has stepped up his game and even gained recognition as a decent shot-blocker in this league.
3. Ed Davis C 23 6'9'' 215 B D+ D+ A- B A
10.0 PPG / 10.0 RPG / 2.2 BPG
The UNC product has been given a great opportunity in Milwauke and his 10/10/2 effort every night could secure his starting job for a while.
4. Spencer Hawes C 24 7'1'' 244 B- C C- A- B C
10.0 PPG / 9.4 RPG / 1.2 BPG
The Knicks seemed to have given up on him but the Twolves havent. He now has to fill the void that Tim Duncan left. Not a hard task at all, right?
5. Bismack Biyombo C 20 6'9'' 240 C D D+ A- B B
6.7 PPG / 7.1 RPG / 3.1 BPG
Dude can't score for shit, but blocks anything in his sight in limited minutes.
SNUBS:
John Wall PG 22 6'4'' 195 B B A- A- C- B
24.0 PPG / 4.6 RPG / 7.3 APG / 48.1 FG%
Sorry Jimmy, but there are too many good PGs ahead of you. You could argue Rubio as the snub instead of JW, but Rubio's high Ast/TO ratio is too impressive
James Harden SG 23 6'5'' 218 C+ A- B A- C- B
15.4 PPG / 4.1 RPG / 4.5 APG
He puts up good numbers but the balanced attack of Memphis won't really boast his individual performances.
Marquis Teague PG 19 6'2'' 165 B C+ B A- C- B
16.5 PPG / 4.3 RPG / 6.9 APG
The Lakers' PG of the future can definitely score but his FG is attrocious.
Kawhi Leonard SF 21 6'7'' 225 B C C B+ B- A
11.1 PPG / 7.3 RPG
The GMless Spurs starting SF can rebound and play good defense, something Popovich loves.
Austin Rivers SG 20 6'4'' 195 B- B C+ B C- A
13.1 PPG / 4.7 RPG
Has been impressive in Hollywood so far, so someone should teach him how to say "pass me the rock more!" in Spanish
Scotty Hopson SG 23 6'6'' 195 B B C B C+ A
13.5 PPG / 5.8 RPG / 2.2 APG
The Hawks found a 2nd round gem, but too bad he didn't get a 3rd year. He will be a FA after this season.
Iman Shumpert SG 22 6'4'' 200 B B- B- C+ C- C
14.5 PPG / 5.0 RPG / 3.1 APG
The Nuggets love his game and versatility. Quintero probably hopes he developed more defense though.

13.1 PPG / 6.1 RPG / 3.2 APG / 55.0 3P%

Harrison Barnes SF 20 6'8'' 210 B B+ C B C+ A
13.1 PPG / 6.0 RPG / 2.5 APG / 52.9 3P%
The Knicks landed one of the top SFs in the country in last year's draft. Is Barnes playing at his own pace? or just letting Curry do all the work?
Joshua Smith C 20 6'9'' 280 B C- D C+ B- B
15.8 PPG / 9.2 RPG
The big man has surprised a lot of people with his numbers, or perhaps this is just a case of good numbers on a bad team?
