#62: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 

This was the point where I knew ESPN was trolling a bit, as there is no earthly way they believe KCP is better than Cade Cunningham.

Is he a better defender? Yes. 

Is he a better 3-point shooter? Eh, yes, though it helps to have the best player and passer in the NBA sucking in all the defense and giving you wide open shots. 

Is KCP a player ANY team in the history of basketball would try to build around? Absolutely not. If you would have switched out him and Cade last season, the Pistons might not have won a game and the Nuggets would have been markedly better. 

I love KCP, but this is just absurd.
