Here's a hot take for y'all. Clint Capela's been the best 5 in the West this season & should be an All-Star.
Unlike Noel's bum ass he's actually significantly elevated his play in a contract year. His touch around the rim has significantly improved, he's shooting 70% from the line, he's become a monster on the boards, he's an elite rim protector now, his conditioning is much improved, he's stronger/bulkier which has led better post D & he actually outplays many of these bigs considered better than him this year.
Eric Gordon lowkey being a Top 3 SG is a debate for another day.![]()

Capela = "best center in the West"
Gordon = "top 3 SG"
Ariza = "one of the best 3D wings in the league"
CP3 = "one of the greatest PGs of all-time, and the best PG in the game today"
Since Harden has all this help, there are no excuses for him NOT to lead the Rockets to a title this season. And we have to rule him out of the MVP discussion too, since his team is so stacked.
