Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that ESPN just ranked Zion Williamson as the No. 57 best player for the 2023-24 season.

Where are MVP candidates such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic? What about rookies and young stars ready to take the leap into the upper tier of NBA players?

To get the final NBArank prediction, we asked our expert panel to vote on pairs of players: LeBron James vs. Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry vs. Ja Morant, Luka vs. Jayson Tatum … and the list goes on.

We asked, “Which player will be better in 2022-23?” Voters had to predict what they expected from each player during the season.

We’ve already revealed players Nos. 100-26, Nos. 25-11 and a surprising Nos. 10-6. Today, our rankings conclude with the league’s top five superstars.

It has been nearly seven months since we published our preseason list of the top 100 players in the NBA and a lot has changed since then. Among the players who ranked in the top 25 who aren’t on this list are Luka Doncic, Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal, whose teams didn’t make the postseason, and Paul George, whose sprained right knee has his status for the LA Clippers’ series against the Phoenix Suns up in the air.

Still, there are plenty of great players preparing to take the floor.
