    Looking at the stat lines today I see that he has 13 assists and no TOs. He might be the next great point gaurd in the nba.

    I guess it's time for me to eat some crow. I sincerely thought Raymond Felton would be the better PG of the two. I was sincerely wrong.

    Chris Paul is already the 2nd best PG in the NBA right now IMO (behind Nash), the kid is amazing.

    I'm should just take the wait and see approach for now on.

    I'm not 40 minutes from Wake Forest University. I remember the local pre-season ACC preview before Paul's freshman year. They weren't even sure he was ACC caliber. He was a local kid with some success. He keeps proving them wrong. Atlanta says ouch!

    Chris Paul is ALREADY one of the top 2-3 point guards in the league. Considering the learning curve for young PGs is so steep, his emergence as a superstar player is all the more amazing.

    Not much on defense are you?

    Paul deserves all the love he's getting. But there's another young point guard who's not doing too bad in Chicago. He's not as flashy, but Hinrich is great at starting the offense and defending the opposing point.

    I think he meant the next GREAT PG, as in the line of Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and John Stockton.

    I think he certainly has that potential. We'll see in a few years.

    I would take him right now ahead of nash because of his scoring potential night in and night out.

    I think Derron Williams also needs to be part of the discussion about good young PGs in the league... I still think Paul is better, but the comparison isn't the no-brainer that it was last year...

    25-11-18 and 5 steal that is ridiculous statline. Too bad he had 7 TO, but still a good day for my fantasy team.

    I think Deron Williams will be better. I like CP a lot, he's a terrific PG, but I am even more impressed by Deron.

    The only reason I would take him over Nash is because he's much younger, but if I was looking to win a championship in the next two seasons, I would take Nash over him every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

    I think he is more like Isaiah Thomas than any of those. Thomas with even more creativity.

    but that's still a better than 2:1 ratio, if a single team had 18 assists and only 7 turnovers that would be a decent night.

    actually, I think the nba needs to look at some of their rule changes, too many guards are having nights like this during this season.
