Amazing how CP3 is ranked 3rd. Hard to believe, but clearly he is 3rd behind Curry/Westbrook right now.
this is pretty good although i might have knight and IT a bit higher. dame/wall/conley ranking is debatable depending on what you want from your PG, but i think the first 4 are spot on. in b4 what comes in and tells us conley is the best PG
IT is a great offensive player, but piss poor defender. I'd put MCW somewhere on upper third of the list even though he's a horrible offensive player. Rose is ranked too high at #11 even when he was healthy this year. Was shooting 41%/29%(2P%/3P%) and 5 ast to 3.2 tov.
this is like the rockets wish list lol. should've closed the deal with lowry. couldn't get a deal for dragic. dwill is too high priced/injury prone. looks like either jennings, hill, or collison coming this summer as an upgrade.
Agreed with everyone saying Irving is too high. The guy hasn't shown he can lead a team anywhere except into the lottery, in the EAST no less. Without Lebron this season, he's been unable to lead the Cavs anywhere. I'd personally have, Wall, Lowry & Conley over Irving and Tony Parker also if he hadnt been injured.
It's not bad but clearly Lillard and Irving are high because they score. I agree with everybody that they should be lower. I hate Irving more than any other player in the league. As far as Lillard is concerned, I really like the way he leads his team, if he would quite biching about not being an allstar I'd like him more. Irving is just a vapid player.
If you include turnovers, Russell Westbrook is a quadruple double master. Its hard not to think he's the best at what he does.
If you're choosing one guy to build a team around at the PG position, I don't see how you choose Westbrook over Curry. Curry is the ultimate team player point guard. The fact that he's one of the deadliest shooters in the game is just sugar coating it. He's this generation's Steven Nash.
When it said personnel I thought it was going to be about the cameramen, janitors and ticket salesmen of the league.
Top 3 are easy. 4-7 - Wall, Conley, Lowry, Teague 8-10 - Irving, Lillard, Dragic 11-13 - Parker, Rubio (elite defense + elite passing), Bledsoe 14-16 Rondo (much higher/lower on certain teams), Lawson, Knight *I don't care about the rest **Rose is too injured to rank
