    How about James Harden? With Lin they could be a dominant back court.

    Jeremy Lin doesn't even deserve to be in the conversation until he can consistently put up very good numbers that have a significant impact on the team's success

    This is why D Rose is the best. He gets Ray Lewis Speech in his mixtape.. That is why!

    Btw Rose passing is underrated. He averaged about 8 asts before injury? Not sure but somewhat close to it..

    holding his knee and down should still be the best

    but then again we don't know how much the injury will slowed him

    I really like Kyrie. I'm still not convinced that Westbrook's over shooting isn't hurting more than helping. Either way it's a toss up between them as of today, imo.

    If Rose gets back to form (no idea if he ever will fully), I think no doubt he'll be the best of this group. That ACL is tricky with the way he plays.

    As a pure passer, nobody on that list can touch Rubio.

    If you like your pg to have elite handles, Kryie is your choice.

    If it is athleticism, it's derrick rose or westbrook.

    I personally like watching rubio play basketball. The kid is a wizard with the basketball.

    That's coming from a song....
    I am not saying he is a mediocre player but saying he will be elite that's a stretch
    He has to prove a lot

    Lillard is already ahead of Brandon Jennnings.

    Ricky Rubio. All the others are basically shooting guards in PG body.

    Kyrie Irving is sick. His ball handling ability is through the roof along with his quickness and body control. But what tops that off is the fact that he has a deadly jumper. Kyrie may not be the facilitator like Nash, CP3 but he is a monster scorer.

    Adrian Peterson can't be used as an example though. He's not even an exception to the rule. He's pretty much not human.

    I think Irving wins a lot of fans due to his sick handles. But what does sick handles do for winning games? All it is flash. Look at Nash, he didn't need those handles.
