The healthy part is why I went with Westbrook. The guy is like Wolverine, just never goes down. Rose missed 40% of his games last year before ending his season in the playoffs. Kyrie missed 20% his rookie year, and then proceeded to break a finger and then his face this year? Premature to worry, but still a question mark.
Kyrie's a tank though, jaw fracture? People usually end up in bed completely out of it on pain meds, dude played through the pain and dropped 40 on the Knicks.
Rose's reliance on athleticism and his injury are the only reasons for me to not vote for him. Steph Curry is a glaring absence on that list. Jrue Holiday too, but not as bad as Curry. WTF is Lin doing on there? Kyrie is the best mix of scoring, shooting, passing, handling, and athleticism on that list. I still think Dame has a lot of room to grow. He played a garbage conference and is seeing more kinds of defenses in his first 20 games in the NBA than he did in all 3+ years that he played in college. I don't buy the age argument against him. At 22, he will improve, and he's got that "it" factor that is hard to capture with stats.
Kyrie's multiple injuries are not as bad as Rose's ACL. And that's especially worrisome considering how reliant Rose is on his athleticism and explosion.
I feel like Irving is getting way too much love for a question that is asking who is the best PG TODAY
Well considering he's pretty much even in voting to Jeremy Lin... I'd say we're all underappreciating him
The question was best YOUNG PG. Of course a Rookie of the Year PG will be on that list and get tons of love. smh Plus, he has the 3rd most starts on that list....behind Westbrook and Rose
Right Now? Lin Near future? Lin Far future? Lin For the rest of eternity? Do you even have to ask? Given that Jeremy Lin is even on this poll, I have to imagine it's a joke thread.
Gotta go with Kyrie. Better decision-making than WB. Might not have the elite athleticism of WB, but a MUCH better PG.
