    I thought this was his thing for the year, after he didn't get it for the 13-14 season.

    I've always known Conley would be legit. He's probably the best PG after Chris Paul, Tony Parker, Steph Curry, Russ Westbrook, James Haren, John Wall, Kyrie Irving, and Derrick Rose as second best after our supreme leader Mega MVP Jerry Lin.

    Conley should have been an all star this year over Lillard.

    I said way back that he is the most unde-rated PG in this league and is a top 5 PG in my books easily, way better than Clutchfans lovers Lowry and Dragic.

    Curry
    CP3
    Westbrook
    Conley
    Wall / Irving

    I've always thought highly of Conley so no bandwagon for me to jump on.

    He says that is just his way of hyping himself up after making a big defensive play.

    How can you not say ZBo :) ?

    That man has been the heart and soul of the Grizzlies for years. Except for one season, he's averaged a double-double every year, with the vertical of a 4-year-old. He is the definition of knowing how to score and rebound without the same athletic prowess as his peers. His Clipper years were good statistically, but he wasn't coached well. Aside from that, if I were a Grizzlies fan, which I never could be, ZBo would be my favorite Grizzly, and possibly, player of all time. He's a poor man's Charles Barkley, with nos disrespect towards Chuck.

    Without his toughness, I don't think Mike Conley is the same player. Randolph breathes toughness into that team. His picks are some of the best in the league (watch them), and his offensive rebounds have given Mike extra scoring opportunities.


    But yeah, Conley is dope. He has all of the intangibles in a guard that you'd want. He's vastly underrated and so many don't even know his name. He's going to be paid well for the rest of his career because of HOW he plays.

    He's not explosive. He's smart and uses his body, almost in the same realm of Timmy, but as a guard.

    If Tony Allen keeps working with him on the defensive end, he's going to be another 2-way guard.

    I'm just curious if they can keep that core together in Memphis. ZBo is 33. Marc is 30. Mike is a late 27, IIRC.

    Their window is open, but it's slowly closing. This may be their best chance to win it all.

    What happened to Big Country? That was the biggest man posing as a basketball player that I've ever seen. :p

    What?

    No way Conley is better then Wall or Irving (this season). That being said he still can be argued for top 5 behind those two,

    1. Curry
    2. Westbrook
    3. Paul
    4. Wall

    And then it's complete toss up between Lillard, Conley, Teague and Lowry for the 5th spot IMO.

    Woops left out Irving^

    So no I wouldn't say Teague is top 5 this season.

    1. Curry
    2. Westbrook
    3. Paul
    4. Wall
    5. Irving

    Honorable mentions (Lillard, Conley, Lowry, Teague)
