    I could argue that he is better rebounder? Rondo is walking tripple double machine. The only thing Rose is better than Rondo is shooting.

    Rose would be on the same defensive level if he had another star with him. He burns most of his energy getting the offense going and making plays.

    Even if WB is a better shooter and scorer he has a knack of jacking up shots and forcing things. Rondo wouldn't even be able to carry a team to an ecf like rose.

    Nash is 2nd tier. He is not a top 5 point guard in the NBA. Unless you're saying a tier is 10.

    I do think that Lowry has the potential and the drive to get there.

    Honestly I wish him the best but I don't know how well he'll fare over in Toronto this year. If he played better defense and flopped less, I might say yes. He'll definitely be serviceable but then again Jose Caldron is still on the roster so not sure how that'll work out.

    Sigmund, funny guy rating Rose as a falling off the top tier. If I could get him in any trade, I'd do that deal in a heart beat. He's a franchise player, you can build around him, but then again you troll pretty frequently so.. meh

    Steve Nash is still a great PG maybe not the top 1 or 2 but in terms of running an offense and shooting he's very good at what he does. He's never been great defensively so that won't change at all but he's a huge upgrade for the Lakers over Fisher/Sessions.

    Nash is one of the best PGs of all time. You are one of the best morons of all time.

    Of course he wants to be, he just isn't that good. He's a good starting PG in this league, but he will never be considered the best at his position.

    Wow.... Paul is infinitely better than Parker who is elite but is more like James Worthy than a franchise point guard and Nash is not better than Rondo or Williams at this stage in his career....

    This season Paul was the 3rd best player in the nba. Maybe 4th if Dwight wasn't injured. Have people forgotten Pauls 23/11/5.5/3 season? His 2008 and 2009 seasons were by far the best point guard seasons of the 2000s.

    Anyway doubt Lowry makes it. He is 26 years old. Most people hit their peaks when they are 27-28. Nash is a weird exception. This is why I prefer Lin over Lowry and Dragic. Lin is only 23 and barely has any experience. Lowry and Dragic are 26 and have much more experience. Lin has more potential to be elite at this point.

    Good trolling. Listing westbrook as a point guard was the first mistake. He is just short. He is as much a point guard as Iverson was.

    Westbrook is much better pure point than Rose. He was also most efficent scoring guard untill April.
