You guys are crazy for picking an always hurt, hardly played Oladipo while ignoring CJ, who averaged at least 20 points for every season, except his first season, he had been in the league. Oh, and CJ was on the court much more.

I suppose the question I asked was just top 3 players, but I was thinking about top three for the Cavs. CJ and Kyrie would be a lesser version of CJ and Dame.
You're probably right that CJ should be higher than Oladipo, but Rudy's a one-man top 10 defense and should be second then.

Maybe because I never really liked Rudy that much, so that's why I put him behind CJ. A lot of subjectivity involved in these picks anyways. But I see your point and understand why you would put Rudy at second.

I've never thought much about what CJ's ceiling might have been.

Maybe we've already seen his ceiling, which isn't bad at all. Averaging 20 or more points 11 seasons in a row is not amazing, but it isn't bad at all. Who else amongst that draft class, besides Giannis, has an offensive stat like that?

How do 8 All-Defense teams, with 4 DPOY's and 4 All NBA selections compare with that?
I realize you said "offensive" stat, but it's not like CJ gets subbed out on defense.

You're probably right. CJ probably goes after Rudy, but no way he's behind Oladipo.

Do you agree with me that Oladipo had a higher peak than CJ?

I think I like to choose according to career instead of ceiling / peak. If I'm a GM drafting a player, I would take someone who can give me multiple seasons with consistent performance over someone who just peak for a season then goes on being hurt the rest of their career.
