"Best" players 2014-15

Here are the final standings (top 50) for average of ranks for Real Plus-Minus (RPM), Wins Above Replacement (WAR), Player Efficiency Rating (PER), Value Over Replacement Player (VORP), Win Shares per 48 Minutes (WS/48), and Box Plus-Minus (BPM); 500 minutes minimum. Curry is the clear MVP, IMO, altho' I will admit that he had far more help than Harden. Steph, Harden, ‘Brow, Westbrook, CP3, LeBron, and Kawhi are the league’s elite, IMO. I’m tempted to leave out Westbrook ‘cuz I think his efficiency approaches Kobe levels, but I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves. Also, notice that KD's name is missing. Three Jazzmen in the top 25 is awesome and I expect all three will be even better next year (might one or two break into the top 15?). On the other hand, no other Jazz man made the top 150. Next year and beyond, they need one or more of Burks, Hood, Exum, Burke to become top 100 or better.
