  The most balanced starting 5 in the NBA right now. Very athletic, multiple shot-blocking and rebounding threats, two guards who can shoot, handle and pass. Chandler Parsons can do about 20 different things, none great, all solid.
  
  Find a bench rotation, they are the West favorites IMO.

  Haven't watched enough teams to say best in the west, but theyre on the short list thats for sure.
• robj55

  

  That same Houston team got blasted the other nights by the clippers in one of the worst defensive displays I've seen. Still too early in the season to make any real judgements though.
• Azubuike24

  

  I'm also saying that with the assumption that nobody in the West will win 60 games. It's really competitive outside of just a few teams. Teams like Minnesota, Sacramento and Phoenix, who have recently been the cupcakes, are going to definitely beat more teams this year.

  Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO 3m NBA GMs poll if starting team today: 1. LeBron; 2. Durant; 3. Kyrie. No one else got a vote. All 30 GMs polled, can't vote for own player.
• Rotinaj

  

  I LOVE Kyrie but there is no way in hell he should of received any votes. Those GMs should be fired immediately.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  Also Tyson Chandler is out 4-6 wks with a fibula fracture. The bad just got worse. 1-3 knicks without their only paint defender. lol knicks are going to be bad. I can already seeing them getting the #1 overall pick and getting wiggins though.

  lol I was a bit surprised by that as well. I would think Love/Rose would get some votes. Maybe they only got 1 vote though?
• Laley23

  

  How many did Kyrie get? No way did they all get 3 votes and Kyrie took down 30 3rd place votes lol.
  
  I assume they all got one, in which case I could see Kyrie getting like 1 or 2 while LeBron and Durant take down the other 28/29
  
  Just takes 1 or 2 GMs who love PGs, cause he is who I start a franchise with (as I said earlier, about 50/50 with Chris Paul) if I'm forced to take a PG...
• SportsAndLady

  

  Yeah I took that as 1 or 2 GMs picked kyrie, probably the heat and thunder GMs lol, and the rest took Lebron or durant.
• robj55

  

  How did Paul George not get any votes?

  #1 overall pick in an NBA fantasy franchise draft you're taking Paul George?
• Mulva

  

  George would be in my top 5. No way you take him #1 though.

  No but I'm saying if Kryie got votes then George should of too.

  Nahh
  
  I'd chose Irving/Rose/Westbrook/Harden/Love/Curry over George.
  
  Though George is undoubtedly a better defender than all named above except maybe Rose.
  
  Rose, an MVP in his 3rd season, not getting named was the biggest surprise to me.

  George is a more complete player than all of those guys, that's why I would consider him over those you listed. Tough choice though.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  He's more complete than an MVP? Sounds like he should be hoisting the MVP trophy this yr.

  Rose should have never won the MVP that year to begin with, and yes I think he is more complete than Rose. Great player but I would rather have George, bigger and can impact the game in more areas than just scoring.
• Laley23

  

  Not to mention, who is starting a franchise with a player coming off ACL surgery??
• Rotinaj

  

  The answer is Lebron or MAYBE Durant. No other person is even close. Paul George got 0 votes and you should not even be a little bit surprised.
• Mulva

  

  Vucevic with his first 30-20 game of the season.

  ^^the fuck?
• robj55

  

  I've said it once and I'll continue to say it, DRose is selfish and doesn't make his teammates better.

  No one is disputing that. But when Kyrie gets votes, it absolutely begs the question.
