The NBA offseason is quickly coming to an end. Free agency is over and several teams have a lot of new faces. The season is a couple months away. Most of the chaos this offseason centered around Kevin Durant’s journey to the Warriors, Al Horford packing his bags for Boston, and the Hawks replacing Horford with Dwight Howard.

From LeBron James to James Harden to Damian Lillard, and all the stars in-between, the NBA has a ton of talent. It goes without saying that there are a plethora of NBA players in the elite class.

Going into next season, who are the top ten players in the league and where does Brook Lopez rank in the entire NBA player pool?
