Top 20 Cards at Every Tier (E-GO) *Updated 6/6/19*

I want to preface this by saying that these lists are based on my personal opinion and no I have not played with every single one of these cards. I have however played with many of the cards listed and of the ones that I have not played with I have watched them be used by multiple players via YouTube or watching some of my fellow community members stream. If that invalidates my opinion for you that’s fine. Just ignore this topic and keep it moving.

Also, if I did not include your favorite card please don’t take it as an insult. There are just so many great cards out now that creating a list with only 20 spots at each tier is difficult and pleasing everyone is impossible. I was originally going to make the lists with only 5 spots but I decided to expand the lists to incorporate more players and get a better idea of where these cards rank.

If anyone would like the lists to be changed for whatever reason I’m more than willing to hear you out. As much as I complain about 2K deep down I love the game and discussing it with you guys is fun. With all of that out of the way let’s get onto the lists.

I’ll put Qi Zhou over Ariza. IMO
Also Amy Eddie Jones is Still Good

2 Likes

KAJ is way too low… I’d move him top 3 honestly

Nice list:

Ruby Mo Bamba
Ruby Thon Maker
Amy Eddie Jones

Being off the list sticks out. I agree with a lot of them though.

2 Likes

Melo over Simmons. KAJ ties with Simmons for 3rd.

Edited the list. Is this better?

I think these lists are impossible to come to a consensus on, lots of factors… play style, personal favorite players, players we don’t like, if you like base 8/11, I mean it’s your list, you rank em how you want!

I don’t know about amethyst Jimmy Butler. He seems pretty outdated to me.

Malone is top 10… Shit he may be better than Moses

There’s only 2 bigs in your top 10?

Who on the opal list is he kicking off?

And yes but that doesn’t mean the other cards are bad?

Haha that was just my opinion. You didn’t have to change if. As mentioned, it’s all preference. Thanks for taking my opinion into consideration.

At first glance…Pd JR is better than Tmac.

3 Likes

Agreed

I would replace Mo Pete with ruby Nick Young.

Nah I feel you just think maybe it should be a little more well rounded. Only 2/10 bigs idk, just debate talk. Opal bigs are important cause they’re super versatile

Imo Pd Lonzo is better than Magic. Amy PJ + Marvin Bagley has to be on a top10 list. Pd list has no big men lol. Cousins and Ayton… List some more let people vote maybe?

@hoosiertailgate I was thinking of dropping Worthy for one of the 2 GO Malone cards. Between the 2 who would say is better?

@Ddrop who on the PD list should come off for Ayton and Cousins? And personally I like ASG Magic over Lonzo but they may both be off the list to make room for more bigs.

There is no definitive top 10. Either list your own preferences or be prepared to change it 20+ times to appease each new opinion

Yeah Bagley is stupidly OP for an Amy. He even has the dominant big layup package like drob/kareem/cousins/Moses etc

I need a little more time with Moses. But he is a monster . So is Malone tho man. Malone is such a better shooter but that inch does matter when you’re going against length. Ugh IDK man
