In no particular order:

Durant
Embiid
Giannis
Curry
Doncic
LeBron
Jokic
Harden
Booker
Morant
Kawhi
Lillard
Tatum
Booker
Trae Young


Those are all better. AD would need to beat out guys like Jimmy Butler, Kyrie, Donovan Mitchell, Chris Paul, Towns, Bradley Beal, etc. to be in the top 20.

When healthy, one can make the case that he's top 5, especially considering how his DPOY impact secured the 2020 championship. That's pretty much why Pelinka gave up the farm for him, although one can still argue that Pelinka bid against himself and should have kept a few picks. Will he ever get back to that level of play? That really depends on what he does to address his injury woes. Maybe hire a new trainer or nutritionist.

If you're going to penalize AD for his health, you have to do the same for Kawhi and Lillard.

And Booker's not good enough to be included twice.

Add Jaylen Brown, Lamelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, Klay Thompson, Garland, Demar Derozan, and Murray to the list that AD needs to beat. I voted outside of 20.

He could be top 5 if he worked harder. But I can't blame him, if I got that much guaranteed money, I would probably take it easy also.

Per game impact there are few people I want over AD. Total value though... well that takes a hit when you're only playing half a season

Ability, 10-15. His level dropped off, but that can be ascribed to inconsistent playing time. If he can produce a full season again, i think his impact will show

There's no good reason why he can't get back to top 5 form if he stays healthy.

Top 5 is tough, the talent pool is expanding each year. Giannis, Jokic, Luka will be a lock, then the competition geta tough for the rest

When healthy he's clearly around #9-14.
Two way players like him are HARD to find.

He's definitely not in the conversation right now...
If he can ever play a full NBA season, he could be Top 20 however the way these kids are coming into the league the distance is very short!

Since winning the championship in 2020 quite a few players have passed him..

Embiid/Giannis/Luka/Jokic.... that’s the reality of the situation right now, Anthony Davis has regressed in a big way the last few years in large part because he can’t stay healthy and the talent pool expanding, this is why you don’t become nervous when talking about trading Davis because he’s clearly not a Top 10 player right now.

I voted 6-10. Elite defense with declining offense. His TS% the past two seasons has been lower than his average.
