Pistons: Ranking Jerami Grant among Eastern Conference power forwards

Detroit Pistons: Ranking Eastern Conference power forwards #3-1

#3 Jayson Tatum: Boston Celtics

As much as I hate the Celtics, I have to admit that Tatum is a real one.

He’s still only 22-years-old and averaged 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals, establishing himself as one of the best young players in the game.

He has also proven he can get it done in big games, so Tatum is one of the handful of guys in the league that any team would love to build their franchise around. He’ll be a fringe-MVP candidate this season and I wouldn’t be shocked if he won a couple of them before his career is over.

#2: Kevin Durant: Brooklyn Nets

This one could go either way and putting Durant #2 at anything just feels wrong. Durant is one of the best scorers of all time and has evolved into a plus defender as well.

He has already won a ring and an MVP and would like to add another of each this season and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he does. The only thing stopping him will be the next guy.

#1: Giannis Antetokounmpo: Milwaukee Bucks

You could definitely argue Durant here or even that the two should share the #1 spot, but for now Giannis has the title, so he gets the spoils.

What can you say about the guy other than that he is already one of the best to ever play the game and a one-man wrecking crew on both ends?

As much as people want to nit-pick his game, no one can stop him and if he ever does add a 3-point shot to his game, it’s over for the league.
