Why even have the people after Chauncey in the poll? Really the first four people are the only ones who would realistically be considered for this...
Paul, Williams, and Nash are the top 3 PGs. Everybody else are a notch lower. (Tony Parker may be half a notch.) Nash isn't much of a defensive player. But his offense is freakishly efficient. No offensive player in recent years has been as efficient as him. And no, he's not declining, not yet.
Give Chris paul time, he will eventually get there as good as Rafer. At best he can become a poor man's Rafer alston which is better than most
As much as I hate the Jazz, I'll respectfully go with Deron Williams. He's probably the most classy out of the bunch.
