**Embers** · 20th February 2012 05:03 PM

Id go with

1. Derrick Rose
2. Chris Paul
3. Tony Parker
4. Rajon Rondo
5. Deron Williams
6. Steve Nash
7. Russell Westbrook
8. Kyle Lowry
9. Brandon Jennings
10. Stephen Curry

The only real issue I see with your Top 7, is Rondo is ranked too high.

He's more down the 5-7 range.

I reckon I would rate them

Paul
Rose
Parker
Nash
Westbrook
Deron
Rondo

No way Rondo is any lower than 5th.

9. John Wall

As you can see I didn't have a 6th place which is where Parker is. Tbh him, rondo and Nash are all very close but there is some distance between them and the top 3.

He still has a fair few holes in his game as a PG tbh.

Quite a few bad decisions (taking hard shots when the shot clock has 19 seconds left and they haven't made a single pass) and has the tendency to keep the ball out of Durants hands too often for my likings (I fap to the thought of Nash passing to Durant)
Isn't the greatest passer
In terms of steals and scoring he is amaze.

Considering he was primarily a shooting guard (and a defensive one at that) in college he has done pretty well in the NBA. He's just one of those players who can make you jizz or can make you want to strangle yourself*

With regards to Rondo, out of all in the list he has the most tenacity and drive which is why I rank him so high.

I struggle to see Paul over Rose tbh, so far Lebron is really the only player in the league that has shut rose down on a consistent basis. You can say Paul is more of a 'traditional PG' but I think come playoffs that will only get you so far.

Look what he did to the Lakers in the First round last season, with a putrid Hornets team. To be able to do that, after all his injuries which caused him to lose his first step, and forced him to be much more careful and smart how he plays, is beyond impressive. If the Clippers could get a semi respectable coach, the Clippers would be 10x more dangerous with CP3.

@Jesus Shuttlesworth How can you say with a straight face he has been better Rose, Paul, Nash, Parker and Westbrook. Westbrook is obviously the contentious one, but when he is shooting at his .490 clip, you can't fault him really. If he was shooting his career .430, then maybe. But when he is scoring efficiently, he is better.

Typical UCLA really. Same deal with a few UCLA players in the league atm, including Jrue Holiday. Really stunts their development. Should really bench them, and have them develop under the starting PG, instead of playing them as an off guard, and restrict their progress at the PG position.

Looking now, they both actually played "behind" Collison. Collison was a Junior when Westbrook played his Soph season, before declaring. Next season, Holiday came in as highest rated player out of HS, and was stuck behind the Snr Collison.

Who was he up against at point? Fisher? The lakers still got it done in the end, Paul just isn't in that scoring guy that will get you deep into the playoffs. If you were to swap Rose with Paul I have to say that the bulls get worse and the Clippers get better.

**Dagger** · 20th February 2012 08:46 PM

The Lakers need someone like Deron Williams but I don't see how they could get him.

Lakers still had something like the 5th best defence in the League.

I wouldn't say that at all. Boozer would instantly be probably around 4-5ppg better. Their team defence would be better. A Paul with a fully fit Rip as well would be deadly.

Lin dropped 38 on the lakers... (new coach but yeah)

Who cares if boozer is scoring more points the production from rose is twice as valuable as anything boozer can contribute. Chicago's defence is already at an elite level, further more as I said earlier Paul isn't going to stop the better PGs in the league. Paul can be slowed down a lot easier than rose can, rose's drives even when he isn't playing well attract so much attention from a defence that it completely opens up the court for the rest of the team.

**Embers** · 20th February 2012 09:06 PM

Paul is the better passer, Rose is the better offensive scorer

Personally I take Rose because he has more runs on the board at the big time and in general has carried his team a very long way despite having a shithouse back court parnter for almost all of his career

**Shuttlesworth** · 20th February 2012 09:54 PM

You mean like that time Chris Paul took the Hornets to the 2nd seed in the west and 7 games against San Antonio in the Conference Semi-Finals, on the back of his ridiculously amazing season, where he was robbed in MVP voting (like, McLeod level robbed,) playing with 2-guards like Morris Peterson and Jannero Pargo? But yeah, Rose definitely has the wood over Paul in that regard...
