    Maybe he can become as good as Chris Paul or any other elite point guard.

    It's all up to Aaron anyway. Its not for us or others to make it happen.

    Only time and the games can tell. right now thou, I'm just happy he's scoring pretty consistent. :)

    dude, why the need to compare? AB is who he is and he will be a good if not great Houston Rockets player. CP3 on the other hand, is at a whole different level. as a player, i enjoy watching him play but when he plays against the Rockets, i hate him!!

    The main difference,
    Chris Paul has the ability to totally take over games and score at will.

    Though CP3 beats Nash multiple times, Nash's numbers were equally impressive if not better when he was younger and in his MVP seasons. How about Nash once in a decade?

    Then CP3 really dominants the ball in the hornet team. Put in another superstar who dominants the ball, will CP3 produce the current impressive numbers? I doubt. And without another player who can create for himself, will the hornets ever go anywhere? Not likely.

    Parker, D Williams showed that they can be very effective with other superstar teammates, CP3 has yet to show that to convince.

    On offense end, I see AB0 as a Tony Parker with Nash's range.

    Even if AB was the same size of Paul, he lacks two things:

    Handle- Paul's handle is light years better than Brooks'. Brooks uses his speed, especially off the pick to get to the rim. Paul has speed, but he has such a tricky handle that sometimes he's able to waltz into the lane because no one can figure out what he's going to do with the ball.

    Bball IQ/court awareness- Brooks has improved tons in this department this year, but Paul rarely makes mistakes. He always seems to know where players are and when to best get passes to them.

    Brooks is more Calvin Murphy than Chris Paul.

    Either works fine for the Rockets.

    Ladies and Gentleman I give you the new Bobby Jackson - AAAAAROOONNNN BROOOOOKSS !

    CP3 has a team that follows his lead. The current Rockets are made up to follow Brooks lead. CP3 has center that can actually jump, catch the ball and dunk it without coming down. That's how he averages at least 5 assist game with alley-oops to Chandler.

    Tmac won't run the offesne.

    Hmm...I'm 5'9" and 191 lbs, so seriously, why can't I be CP3 as well? ;)

    He's more like tony parker/michael adams than cp3. That's not a bad thing, just a thing. I think its actually pretty good because it puts a lot pressure on the defense.

    Ummm... no thanks. Unlike Jackson, I would rather have Brooks learn how to run the offense and take shots within the offense, rather than being a wild chucker off the bench like BJ.

    Brooks doesn't have the bball IQ of Paul and also Paul has 10x the courtvision.

    Did you even see B-Jax play in Sac? He was a big part of their success down there. Jason Williams would start, but Bobby Jackson would finish. Kind of like what were are seeing with Skip and Brooks.

    Who is CP3? Never heard of the kid! The PG of the future is AB0! No doubt!

    I want to see AB0 vs CP3, AB0 domination!

    B-Jax played well when he was hitting his shots. I'm saying I don't want Brooks throwing up wild threes the way B-Jax did.
