Is Russell Westbrook already the best PG in the League?

    1) CP3
    2) Rondo
    3) Westbrook

    CP3 has a perfect all around game, but Rondo can't shoot and Westbrook shoots too much. Westbrook would be better if he didn't take some bad shots.

    I'd take Ronda and Paul over him. Westbrick is a SG.

    whoops, i forgot to include it, it almost reminds me of when they tried to play Wade at PG for Miami at the beginning for a bit. Except Westbrook is a ****ty version of wade.

    On offense alone, CP3 would be tops. On defense, he is also the best at the PG position. He's in a class of his own.

    I don't know why this is on a Rockets bbs. Get it out of here and on a NBA forum. Jeeez.

    CP3 & Rondo are on the same level. Then you look at Westbrook.

    DISCLAIMER: If Rose comes back and plays like Rose pre-ACL injury, I put him over Westbrook also. Westbrook's problem is Westbrook. He's his own worst enemy and when he goes into Russell-has-to-take-over-mode, he's a train wreck.

    Yeah he's a flopper. Why do you think CP3 is a dbag? I'm genuinely interested to hear.

    CP3 being a flopper may make him more unliked, but a player being a flopper is actually a good thing from a standpoint of how good a player they are - they get more calls.

    He's top 5 in a group that includes Russell, Paul, Rondo, Deron Williams when healthy, and probably Derek Rose assuming Rose can remain as effective in his return as he was before his injury.

    The order depends on what you value most in a point guard, and what you feel a point guard's true "job" is supposed to be on the court.

    Distribution of the basketball? Rondo.
    Breaking down the defense off the dribble? Westbrook and Rose.
    A little bit of everything? Paul and Williams.

    CP3, Rondo, and Rose (if he's as good as he was pre-injury) are still better.

    I honestly dont think its fair to crown someone the best pg. Not only because each one is great but because of how each one effects the game differently at certain areas. If each one played the game the same way or atleast similar then we can crown someone, the best way to give someone that title would be by choosing the purest one who fills the needs of a tempo controller. Imo i would choose Rondo, hes as crafty as they come and you could feel and tell his main purpose is to be a finder.

    IMHO, the best PG will be rose, if he can actually fully recover.

    The way he is able to score at will even with all the defense attention on him is just amazing.

    Best Pure PG: CP3
    Best All-Around PG: Rondo
    Best Scoring PG: Rose/Westbrook

    They're pretty equal to me. They just get their numbers in different ways. I'd pick Rose if I had to pick one, though.
