Simon Pruitt's Top 10 NBA Players At Each Position

Good evening. Despite having zero prior engagements or legitimate reasons not to work, I have nothing prepared to post tonight. My procrastination has reached a record high as I finally have 24 hours every day to write and I still don’t do it. However, I still care about doing something for Monday’s slot so I’ve compiled my all time rankings for each position. This is very rushed and I’m not even providing an explanation for my picks, primarily because most of these lists were made years before this website was created. Without further ado, please enjoy what is essentially just 50 names next to numbers.

(Disclaimer: I’m only considering players who played after the 1976 ABA merger. Apologies to Wilt and Bill Russell, but that era is nearly impossible to compare to anything but itself.)
