Remember the days when shooting guard was a weak position, filled by established but declining stars with precious few challengers for the positional throne? Remember when the league had a dearth of high-quality centers, and point guard was really the only spot in the lineup overflowing with talent?
So much for that. The NBA's young guns have arrived in plentiful fashion during the 2014-15 season, and many of them are now set to reinforce their newfound standing during the 2015 calendar year. At every position, there's an up-and-coming player at or near the top, and sometimes one isn't enough.
It's an exciting time for the NBA, as the league seems to be brimming over with talent more so than ever before. From top to bottom, these five positional rankings are stacked with standouts, to the point that the honorable mentions essentially read like who's who lists.
With this much competition, it can be tough to gain entry as a top-five player at any position. In order to do so, players must have—with a few exceptions—stayed healthy throughout most of this current campaign while thriving on the court. Reputation matters, but only so much, as the past can't be more relevant than the present.
With five sets of countdowns in front of you, get ready to be blown away by impactful play, statistical supremacy and all-around greatness.
