- Kevin Durant (Brooklyn) 2020-21 stats: 26.9 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 5.6 apg, 1.3 bpg, 53.7 FG% What’s left to be said about Kevin Durant that hasn’t been said at length.
- Luka Doncic (Dallas) 2020-21 stats: 27.7 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 8.6 apg, 2.9 3PTM, 47.9 FG% Another player who we possibly could have listed as a point guard (and he probably makes a stronger case for that distinction than James), we went with Luka Doncic as a small forward due to him spending most of his time on the floor defending wings than opposing point guards.

- Jayson Tatum (Boston) 2020-21 stats: 26.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 4.3 apg, 2.9 3PTM, 38.6 3PT% An All-Star in 2020-21 as well as an Olympic gold medalist, Jayson Tatum has shown nothing but an upward trajectory since reaching the NBA in 2017-18, without sign of slowing down yet.

Michael Porter Jr.endured a long-term back injury that kept him off the court during what would've been his rookie season in the NBA in 2018-19. However, the 14th pick of the 2018 NBA Draft has had two seasons with solid displays, especially in the 2020-21 campaign. The Denver Nuggets forward had a quiet regular season as a rookie in 2019-20, but c...
DeMar DeRozanis essentially a shooting guard/ small forward. But he makes the cut as one of the ten-best small forwards in today's NBA, mainly due to his offensive work. There was a lot of noise regarding DeRozan's possible All-Star spot last year, as he played a key role for the San Antonio Spurs offensively. The 32-year-old has been in the NBA si...
The New Orleans Pelicans had a young, talented roster in the 2020-21 NBA season. Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram were at the top of the list, in terms of potential. Ingram had already been an All-Star in 2020, while Williamson made it to the 2021 event. Although Ingram could not join his teammate in the All-Star Game, he had a good offensive cam...
Khris Middletonwas instrumental in the Milwaukee Bucks' 2021 NBA championship. He has been key for the team in the last few seasons, backing up Giannis Antetokounmpo. A two-time All-Star, Middleton has not really exploded in the postseason for the Bucks in the last few campaigns. However, he has performed excellently in the regular season. He was a...
Kawhi Leonardis easily one of the best small forwards in the NBA today, and in the history of the league. However, his knee injury is a big factor why he is not among the top 3 on this list. The LA Clippers small forward is already a two-time NBA champion. Last season, he put up 24.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. He also had a dece...
Jimmy Butlercemented himself as one of the best small forwards in today's NBA after leading the Miami Heat to the 2020 NBA Finals in the Orlando bubble. However, he failed to replicate his postseason success in 2021, as the Heat got swept in the first round. Butler struggled mightily in that series against the Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 14.5 points...
Jayson Tatumhas been a player with tremendous potential since he entered the NBA. Continuing his impressive progression during his fourth NBA season in 2020-21, he showed that he could become an NBA superstar. Tatum averaged 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game (all career highs) in the 2020-21 NBA regular season. Those numbers earned...
Paul George is one of the most underrated players in today's NBA. But he provided glimpses of his potential when leading a team in the NBA Playoffs in 2021. George probably had the worst time of his career during the 2020 NBA Bubble. But he came back for the 2020-21 NBA season with solid displays, which he had shown before during his days with the ...
Yes, LeBron James is only #2 on this list. Considering that he will be playing in his 19th NBA season, the 36-year-old is still playing at a high level. That is a testament to how good he has been throughout his career. Though some of his physical attributes have diminished, LeBron James is still in the conversation for the best player in today's N...
Kevin Durant is considered by many as the best player in the current NBA. The Brooklyn Nets' superstar was hugely impressive in the 2020-21 NBA season, even after missing 18 months due to injury. Durant struggled with injuries in the regular season. But he played 35 games and averaged 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game with an incre...

James has surpassed all of his adversaries on this list, as he is the only player to rank in the top 15 in points, assists, and steals.
