This was me, or if it wasn't I would have agreed. I absolutely stand by that assessment given what he had done throughout his career up to that point. His offense this season is basically his career average. But the defense going from very bad to maybe even above average makes a huge difference.
Top 10 is an arbitrary cutoff. I clearer way to think is that in my mind Curry, Westbrook, and Paul in their own elite echelon, and then you have a big ish group of point who are a bit harder to distinguish but certainly a cut below the first group (in no order, Wall, Lowry, Walker, Lillard, Irving, Dragic, Conley etc. etc.)
