Let’s put something to rest. Obi Toppin is a top-five player from his 2020 draft class. Sure, Anthony Edwards, Lamelo Ball, Tyrese Halliburton, and Tyrese Maxey are very good. But who the hell else would you rather have than Toppin? And please don’t say, Desmond Bane. If Toppin averaged the 30 minutes a game Bane got and was a focal point of the offense, he would be right there with Bane’s statistics. I’m talking about ceiling. Potential. Natural ability. Toppin is a one-man fast break. It’s a damn Thibodeau shame he’s been rotting on the bench for so long behind the Knicks' most malcontent misanthrope.
