Predicting the top four players to be the exact same four dudes 4 years later is so boring

L list no Lebron

Where tf is Yang Hansen

Putting Tatum below LaMelo is asinine

If LaMelo Ball is a top 10 player in 4 years Jeff Peterson needs to be fired.

There’s no way 35 Jokic will be than 28 Antman.

I rememeber one of these lists when I was a kid and it predicted Andre Drummond would be the 2nd best player in the league in 5 years

Ultimately we as humans are so bad at predicting how players bodies will hold up as they age. For all we know Luka Doncic could break down completely at 29 years old just like Blake Griffin did. Meanwhile Jokic could play as an All-NBA player until age 42.

Who knows at the end of the day?

Cam Boozer at 8 is crazy to me lol

Feel like Edgecombe belongs on here somewhere

The VJ Edgecomb slander will not stand

Lamelo at 10 is… ambitious.

cannot believe the lamelo haters haven’t downvoted this to infinity lmao

AJ’s gonna be better than Cam, trust!

Some random 16 year old future NBA star: “And I took that personally”

Tatum that low is ridiculous 

is lebron retiring or just bad?

Wolves rocking two top ten players

Least obvious AJvDP bait

Tatum at 17 is laughable

LaMelo Ball over Tyrese Haliburton? Really?

No jb?

Luka really had some incredible PR

He’s like a borderline top 5 guy rn mostly because he doesn’t take care of his body, but 4 years from now he’s gonna be even better?

If bleacher report is correct we are going to be insane in 2030

There is no way Ant should be on this list in 2030. He will have retired from the NBA by then and will be the Falcons’ starting running back.

Where is Paul reed??

They forgot to add LeBron

Brandon Miller lives an amazing life!

Where’s Kusturica? lol

Caleb Wilson gets disrespected even in these hypothetical lists. He will be a top 15 player in 4 years, save my comment

We still doing this gimmick with Mobley? Its been 4 years and hes still just average

Might be a homer take but I think SGA holds up much better than Luka in the coming years. Luka has already lost athleticism and racking up injuries, that usually gets worse not better.

putting jokic over cade is egrigious

Jokic isn’t the 4th best player now

where is LeBron?

I like Coop at six. I hope he’ll be hella good.

Cade and Castle too low

Deni Avdija lol… I mean come on.

Alex Sarr continues to get slept on

I have a lot of trouble believing that 35 year old Giannis will still be that high up. I guess their reasoning makes sense?

Also I love Deni but that’s such a bold prediction. They act like he absolutely will continue to improve at the same rate.

I don’t see Gary Trent Jr so I’m not buying this

tatum 17th?

I’ll take the under on Lamelo at #10 in four years.

Castle down at 27 is insane

Don’t see Jokic being a top 4 guy in 4 years. See Flagg making the leap and potential a senior in high school

Please, God. I’ve seen what you’ve done for others.

Lol apparently rookies who haven’t played a single NBA minute are now top players in the league.

Get this clown out of here

Edit: I’m an idiot and didn’t read/comprehend the title

The Jaylen Brown erasure is ongoing.

no zach edey…?

Dylan Harper will be a top 5 player by 2030

Giannis is too low.

I appreciate BR specializing in brain rot that keeps us occupied throughout the year especially the offseason when it’s needed most

cooper flag and jokic prob should flip. otherwise p spot on

Lamelo made the list

Brunson and Tatum seem too low. I am big believer in Dylan Harpers talent, I think in 2030 he will be top ten.

Health will be the biggest indicator and somebody will come out of nowhere and be top five

Caleb Wilson will be #1, you could argue he already is

Brandon Miller will be top 3!

Idiot list.

Where’s LeBron!?

Wtf I thought Barnes was already around 28

Looks like they accidentally left Caleb Wilson out of the top 5

No jdub seems crazy imo

Cam Boozer already flipping the narrative

Remind me! 4 years

One if not two of Boozer/Peterson/Dybantsa will not be ranked that high in 4 years

Nothing about Jalen Johnsons game suggests this ranking to me.

Sengun Amen zero chance wtf.

Lamelo top 10! Darryn Peterson better than Giannis!

Remind me! 1 year

How is it going to be current players? 2030 is at least 25 years away

Ball at 10 is crazy to me

I’m here for the screenshot in 4 years when some guy reposts this and when we look back at how dumb this list looks by then

Bold of you to leave LeBron off this list

Luka??

No one from the next couple draft classes? That could have made this a little more interesting.

Gotta be at least two or three guys who will be in there

Can we chill on cooper glad and guys that haven’t stepped on a nba court yet lol

Harper down at 14 seems really low

Whoever made this hated this years draft class

Yaxel erasure.

Where’s bronny

Scottie ain’t in the top ten

They need to check their algorithm 

In 2030 ants floor barring anything crazy is 3rd itl there’s zero chance jok or luka are still going crazy lmfao

No Donovan Mitchell? Hmm at 35 I guess he’s not top 30 but at least in the top 31-40 range. I imagine he’d be at the same level as Brunson

2030 is in 4 years wtf

LaMelo not going to be top 30 even

2026 Finals MVP Brunson as only the 24th best player feels low. And no Jaylen Brown

I’d be stunned if Cam Boozer is a better basketball player than Dylan Harper in 4 years. And the chance that AJ, Darryn and Cam Boozer are all top 15 in 4 years is laughable and absurd recency bias.

I think either Franz or Paolo will make a significant leap into the top 15 so yea, they’re both too low.

Also, I don’t see Victor being healthy and available enough for that top spot. His gangliness makes me nervous. Interesting list though.

Kon at 25 is garbage. I can’t even imagine what these writers would have needed to see from Kon in his rookie season in order for them to have him higher. What could he have done better?

Everyone better than… You know the rest.

Cam Boozer at 8 is certainly a choice

Random take: Franz will be top 12 

Everyone’s better than Jalen Brunson until…
