    Hypothetically, if Lou Williams and Eric Gordon started together, where would they rank in terms of the league's starting guards hierarchy?

    Curry/klay
    Harden/bev
    Westbrook/oladipo
    Irving/shump
    Cp3/reddick
    Lowry/derozen
    Isiah/avery
    Wall/beal
    Lillard/mcculollum

    For sure rate out better. I think the rest are debatable with a few likely better. But that's easily a top 15 starting backcourt imo.

    Thoughts?

    Hmmm....

    That's interesting. Most of those rate higher only because they have one GREAT player.

    The issue with rating Lou/Gordon is that Lou is having his best season right now. He's not normally nearly this efficient. As a unit they likely wouldn't rate that high because both are scorers first and don't create for others all that much.

    Not sure but I'd take Rubio / Dinwiddie over most of that list including James/Pat

    True I noticed a lot had to do with one great player. And while it's lous best season it is the season in question.

    How they would operate as starters together being score first players is also interesting to note.

    I think we have 2 sets of quality starting guard pairings. At that is just amazing to me
