As we are over two weeks into the 2022-2023 NBA season let’s go through who are my top three players of the season thus far and why I put them on this list. These players don’t have to average the most points or be the leading player in any statistical category, but in the effort of winning and how they are playing will be mentioned on the list.
- Luka Doncic
My number one player has to be Luka Doncic, as he is averaging a whopping 36 9 and 9, which leads the NBA in points even though the Dallas Mavericks are only 4-3 on the season, the Mavericks aren’t considered to have a great roster other than Luka, with roster moves in the off-season like losing Jalen Brunson in free agency and trading for forward Christian Wood, this Mavericks team isn’t even a top 10 roster in the NBA.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo in my opinion is the best player right now that’s far into the season as Giannis is averaging 34 13 and 5, while also being a top candidate for defensive player of the year early in the season, as the Bucks have the best record in the Eastern conference without Khris Middleton and other role players, Giannis has slowly become one of the most underrated players in the NBA considering how good he is.
- Shai Gilgeous Alexander
Another player who is flying under the radar, considering how good he is playing, is Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander who is averaging 32 5 and 6, with 2.4 steals and over 1.1 blocks a game. Even though the Thunder aren’t a good team, Shai has become very underrated in these last few years since being traded from the Clippers to the Thunder, just due to the fact that the Thunder are considered one of the worst teams in the league.
