To begin the ranking, Raphinha did not hesitate long before naming Neymar as his number one choice. Rather than building up from the bottom like most countdowns do, he went straight to the top, explaining his decision with a moment of reflection. That leads to the second name on his list, who was Ronaldinho. Raphinha's choice here is particularly striking, as Ronaldinho is widely regarded as one of the greatest entertainers football has ever seen. At the start of the 21st century, he transformed Barcelona both on and off the pitch, bringing joy, creativity, and global attention back to Camp Nou. Yet, in Raphinha's eyes, Neymar edges him out for the top spot.

Randle is off to a fantastic start, averaging 25.4 PPG, 7.2 RPG and 6.2 APG through 11 games, while also shooting high percentages and pilfering more than a steal per game. Perhaps he won't/can't keep it up to this level, but I have thought Randle became a bit underrated in fantasy in his latter New York Knicks seasons. He didn't only score and rebound, but he tallied assists we covet from a forward, though those were somewhat mitigated by high turnover totals.

The list of truly great, transcendent, gold jacket-destined NFL players is short. But the list of really good current players is rather long, and sometimes because of age or circumstance, the lines between great and good are blurred for legends on the decline.

Colton Book's impressive stats don't guarantee a top spot here, as the rankings focus more on current ability rather than pure statistics.

Davidson is the most complete player in this class. A floor general who makes others better, she is comfortable in the lead guard spot and taking over the scoring.
