So can we safely call Curry the 2nd best PG in the league now?

[Inferno]

Behind Chris Paul....for now.... :pimp:

[Johnny Jones]

GOATBrook > Curry.

[Bobby13]

Nah Westbrook and Paul are still 1 and 2

[imdaman99]

GOATBrook > Curry.

[Eric Cartman]

GOATBrook > Curry.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

GOATBrook > Curry.

[SpecialQue]

No.

[Collie]

Yes

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Based on play so far this season - yes. If rose and westbrook get back to their pre-injury form then no.

[Dbrog]

CP3
Curry
Westbrook
Eric Bledsoe (so far this year :oldlol:)
Michael Carter-Williams (so far as well :lol )

added: Damian Lillard is next on this list

[juju151111]

Curry is better then Paul.

[Eric Cartman]

Curry is better then Paul.

[joeyjoejoe]

Hard to say until we see how rose and westbrook play once they settle back in but so far this season yes easily

[SacJB Shady]

Please don't put Westbrook and Curry in the same sentence. A guy who shoots low 40's shouldn't be compared to the greatest to ever do it. Curry shoots 3's better than Westbrook shoots anything.

Based on play this season, MCW is a top 5 PG...

Better at shooting 3's =/= better PG

Chris Paul is bound to fail in the playoffs again this year.

[poido123]

Curry is a better passer, much much better shooter with range anywhere on the court, better decision maker and court vision, slightly less of a defender, better court IQ than Westbrook.

So please tell how Westbrook is better than Curry? I'd like to hear it :oldlol:


Chris Paul is better than Curry, but not by a long way.

Curry and Paul are very close IMO. Both can dominate and takeover games with their play. Both have excellent Court vision with Paul being slightly better, however Paul is a much better defender.

Westbrook is not. If WB wasn't playing with Durant, nobody would think so

Oh that's OK, I guess shooting percentage is the only thing that matters when ranking players. I guess I've been doing it all wrong.

:rolleyes:

All NIGHT Long!!!


take your shoes off, let your hair out and just weird out

All NIGHT LONG!!!!!

Lee and Thompson Is getting Iggy with it ALL NIGHT LONG!!! with Bogut baby!!

ALL Night LONG!!!

[Bigsmoke]

I rather have Curry in the 4th over Westbrook by a LONG shot.


Is Curry the 2nd best PG? Sure until Rose get his swagger back

[ninephive]

The real question is, "Which one of these guards will be the best at watching Tony Parker from their couch come May & June?"

[kells333]

Russell westbrook gives you more points Rebs and assists compared to curry and can actually give you pretty good defense. Not to mention the leadership he displays on the court. Can someone please explain how the **** stephen curry is better than him? Because he can shoot the ball better? GTFOH

People act like russell didn't average over 8 assists twice in his career so far. But somehow he's a ball hog and does pass. Steph curry never averaged 8 assists.

[Fresh Kid]

hes not even an all star yet:roll:

[tmacattack33]

No, Westbrook is now back for his spot.

[secund2nun]

Yes he is the 2nd best PG. Curry gives you what you want from a PG- amazing 3 point ability to stretch the field. CP3 is still better because he is a much better passer, better rebounder, and CP3 is a good 3 point shooter at least. If you are a PG and you cannot pass well nor shoot 3s (or defend like Payton) I don't want you. If you are a chucker I will never want you as my PG or anything.

[scm5]

I would say that Curry is legitimately the second best PG in the league now.

I think Westbrook is a hell of a player and a great defender. However, even on his best day, he doesn't cause as much havoc on the court as Curry does.

Curry spaces out the floor like nothing I've ever seen before. They throw DOUBLES on him way out past the three point line. Curry on the fast break? You need to play him tight once he gets past the half court line or he'll just pull from 3. He's got to have an amazing percentage on fastbreak 3's because from the games I've seen, he hits those like layups.

Yep

[Genaro]

WB is the most disrespect superstar now days. He's the second best in my opinion.

It's not disrespect, he's still third best.

Westbrook is a chucker when he shouldn't be. He has the best scorer in the league on his team and takes more shots than him. There is something fundamentally wrong with that. It's like it doesn't compute in his head that Durant takes less shots than him and scores significantly more points.

Westbrook scores points at a lower FG% and eFG% than the rest of the league. His TS% is the league average.

As for playmaking, Curry is the better playmaker of the two. Career numbers say otherwise, but Curry has always had a playmaking backcourt running mate. Monta, Jack, and now Iggy. You only need to watch the game.

The only two things Westbrook does better is rebound (but not by a significant margin, unlike his scoring compared to Curry's) and play defense. If we're honest though, no point guard in today's game can consistently shut down or even contain opponent PG's with the current rules.

Give me Curry all day.

[Chrono90]

Looking at this season only:

1) CP3- No explanation needed.
2) Curry- Raining Three's. Triple double last game.
3) Westbrook- Only played one game so far.
4) Rose- Still coming back from injury and getting back to old self.

Until Rose get his rhythm back, Curry at #2 sounds right.

Westbrook is hella streaky.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Curry
Paul
MCW
Eric Bledsoe

So far IMO

[Alan Ogg]

Yes, the 2nd half of last season he put up 25.9 points 7.3 asts per game. That's MVP Rose numbers.

[bdreason]

Can you imagine if Curry had Durant? Holy shit that duo would be a nightmare to deal with. Especially because Curry is smart enough to defer to Durant.

No Way.


Cp3 Rose Westbrook Parker Deron Rondo and even Irving (off to a slow start I know, and perhaps I'm biased there) are all IMO equal or greater than Curry overall as a PG.

Curry is obviously an amazing player and one of the best shooters in the game, but that doesn't make him the best or second best PG.

It's also far too early in the season to make judgements.

Maybe a healthy Rose, but none of those players are better then Curry.

Ummm, no.

Stephen Curry has surpassed Parker. Parker gets to the line more often and plays better defense, otherwise, Curry is better in every other aspect of the game.

Deron is a shell of his former self.

Rondo is up in the air, who knows how strong he'll come back.

Irving makes Stephen Curry look like a DPOY candidate, and Curry is still better in just about every other aspect of the game.

Westbrook is arguable, but it remains to be seen how well he'll play in the long run coming back from his injury.

CP3 is currently the only PG better than Curry.
