CP3.

And Wall > Irving

[Milbuck]

If Parker, Kyrie, and Rondo are there, I think Dragic deserves a mention. I would honestly take Goran over all 3 of those guys this season. Same goes for Wall.

As of right now, it's Goatbrook. Since his return he's been putting up 22/5/8/2 on 46/42/84 shooting, with elite defense. The fact that he's doing all this coming off a knee procedure is just absurd. The dude is a machine.

[Black Mamba's B]

The flopping cry baby cp3. He's an ideal pg, he can do everything

[davehos]

Depends on team.

Spread floor? Curry.
All Around? Dragic.
Break down D? Parker.
Flop like a fish? Paul.

[bdreason]

CP3

[TylerTheCreator]

Kyrie is not even in this conversation

[aboss4real24]

Kyrie is not even in this conversation

wat can the top guards do that he cant

[dabigbaws]

im gonna go with curry the guy leading a stacked team to 6th in the west :facepalm

its westbrook.

[qrich]

CP easily.

18.7 PPG (6th for position) on 14 FGA (All PGs above take at least 1.4 more attempts)
4.4 Boards (#3 for position)
10.9 Dimes (#1 in NBA, #2 is 1.6 back)
4.48 AST/TO ratio (#1 in NBA, Prigoni is #2 and .24 back, #3 is .73 back)
2.4 Steals (#2 in NBA, .01 behind #1 Rubio)
2.4 Turnovers (#3 among PGs)
1.00 STL/TO ratio (#10 in NBA, #2 Among PGs)
34.7 MPG
46.3/32.9/85.5 Shooting
Most double doubles for all PGs


Don't **** with that

[aboss4real24]

im gonna go with curry the guy leading a stacked team to 6th in the west :facepalm

its westbrook.

Westbrook who has the benefit of playing with a 4 time scoring champ and even more staccd tm :facepalm

Don't **** with that

Despite all of that, his impact is pretty meh. LAC plays fine without him. Take Curry off the Warriors and they aren't even in the playoff picture.

[fpliii]

CP3 and GOATbrook are the top 2. :applause:

[moe94]

CP3
Westbrook
Curry

[IncarceratedBob]

It's Rondo

Elite rebounding, passing, court vision

That's all you want from your PG, any scoring is extra IMO

[russwest0]

Russell Westbrook.

[qrich]

Despite all of that, his impact is pretty meh. LAC plays fine without him. Take Curry off the Warriors and they aren't even in the playoff picture.

Take off Dragic from PHX, & they are vastly inferior then what they have shown, therefore

Dragic >>> Curry.

:bowdown:

[russwest0]

Westbrook who has the benefit of playing with a 4 time scoring champ and even more staccd tm :facepalm

That stacked team without Westbrook = 2nd round exit

Clippers stacked team with Paul = 1st round exit

OKC with Westbrook = 2014 Champs. Deal with it.

[Eric Cartman]

As much hate as he gets (some deserved) I gotta go with Westbrook.

Smothering defense, explosive scorer, dominant alpha triple double machine.

[scott0326]

wat can the top guards do that he cant
Win games.

[JohnFreeman]

Thomas

[ImKobe]

Aaron Brooks

[ninephive]

It will be interesting to see a healthy SAS who continues to improve every year against a healthy OKC in the playoffs. Probably very similar to 2012 except no Harden.

[Jlamb47]

Westbrook and CP3
1A amd 1B

il take Wall and Curry next

[poido123]

Chris Paul is the best Point Guard in the league.

Curry is the most explosive PG scorer in the league, but I think Paul is the total package and just a matter of when/if he turns up.

Its Westbrook by the mile lol
explosive????
Rose is even more explosive but hes hurt so i wont bring him in this

The thing about rankings is that the regular season and the playoffs are practically like two different sports.

For instance, if you're "ranking" guys right now and going by regular season performance, you probably think Kevin Love is a better player than Tim Duncan. But if you're picking one guy for your team going into the playoffs... most smart people are gonna take Duncan.

For the same reason, you could argue some of the flashier, more athletic, high ppg point guards are better than Chris Paul. But in a playoff atmosphere where every decision matters, your best bet is to take Chris Paul. Altho tbh I think Tony Parker is a very close second.

I typically rank guys based on how much I would value them in the playoffs. In that sense, Paul and Duncan are both still top 5 NBA players in my book.

CP3 isnt top 5 when it comes to playoffs lol
he never made the conference finals

[Rocketswin2013]

Are you literally ****ing stupid?

Westbrook has been playing absolutely crap defense since he's came back. You obviously don't watch the games. You go by what the media tells you.

[imdaman99]

What game are you watching where he's played bad defense? :biggums:

[Big#50]

Chris Paul is the best. Put him on any team and he still does what he does.

[Jef]

westbrook has always been a gambler on defense, and at times it has hurt okc.

that said, at this point he is nearly the undisputed GOAT pg defending big men.

he has given okc limitless defensive switch/rotation options. watch an okc game for 5 minutes - i guarantee you will see GOATbrook fronting a PF or center at least once, and the GOAT does not disappoint. the opponent always rotates the ball thinking "oh shit we have a pg on our center - get himt he ball" and then the ball is rarely even fed into the post, as GOATbrook froths at the mouth and dares them to go at him.

and if the center does get the ball? well, this happens:

[Uncle Drew]

Tony Parker

[Uncle Drew]

wat can the top guards do that he cant
Win.

[ABfor3]

CP3 is the best in the league, he can beat you in many ways..if he's not scoring a lot of points he can still break down your defense with his penetration in the paint, with his IQ, elite vision , handles, and passing abilities along with a jumper..dude is almost unguardable which is why I hate when the rockets play the clippers..he always gives us problems

[qrich]

Why is Chris Paul's assist to turnover ratio superior to Westbrook's turnover alone average? 4.44 to 4.0 :oldlol:

[moe94]

Why is Chris Paul's assist to turnover ratio superior to Westbrook's turnover alone average? 4.44 to 4.0 :oldlol:

We get it, Paul is a better passer. :coleman:

[qrich]

We get it, Paul is a better passer. :coleman:

So not giving the ball to the opposing team 4 times a game equates to being a better passer? :facepalm

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't a point guard be able to protect the ball much better on a consistent basis than taking 4 possessions away from his team per game?

[Rocketswin2013]

Why is Chris Paul's assist to turnover ratio superior to Westbrook's turnover alone average? 4.44 to 4.0 :oldlol:
Because Westchuck is not a PG, and even if he was, he still isn't a better player than Paul.

He's an undersized SG. The only reason he's not one, is because he's trash offball.

Are you implying turnovers only happen because you're reckless with the ball? Are you implying Westbrook is a poor ballhandler? Or maybe you need
Paul's c0ck out of your @ss? Which is it? :confusedshrug:

4.0 turnovers isn't being a poor ball handler?

Maybe you need Ninja Turtles **** out of your ass?

Why is Chris Paul a 1st round fodder?

[beastee]

Westbrook
Parker
CP3
Curry
Dragic

That is my top 5. But I don't expect Dragic to be top 5 next year with progress of Wall/Lillard and the potential of Rose/Rondo being back to full strength.

[qrich]

Why is Chris Paul a 1st round fodder?

He never made round 2? News to me bruh!

[Choke]

wat can the top guards do that he cant
Win games.

[(e)]

CP3 by a decent margin this year. I'd say Tony Parker is second.

[Black Mamba's B]

Nobody is close to CP3 as a PG, and when I lay out the stats, all people will do is cite the 2nd round. What's funny is Curry is being said as, "better" and he hasn't either. And Westchuck CHUCKED OKC out of the finals.
He was one of the few guys that showed up

[yobore]

For all his supposedly being an awful playoff player, CP has got the best numbers despite being a gimp in two and a half of his 6 playoff series.

[KyleKong]

Despite all of that, his impact is pretty meh. LAC plays fine without him. Take Curry off the Warriors and they aren't even in the playoff picture.

Put Curry on the Warriors are they are barely in the playoff picture. :oldlol:

[Uncle Drew]

He never made round 2? News to me bruh!
''1st round fodder: Someone who usually loses in the first round of every contest they're in.''

Dude loses in the 1st round 60% of the time.

[TheReal Kendall]

Dragic or Westbrook. I'll give the slight edge to Westbrook

[imdaman99]

He never made round 2? News to me bruh!
He might as well have not made it with the waxing the Spurs gave to him with the Clips :oldlol:

[ZenMaster]

It depends on what the point guard and the rest of the team does besides the turnovers.

Often, a good making relatively many turnovers is because they try(and succeed) with a lot of stuff, they play to the edge so to speak.

[joeyjoejoe]

Its not a huge margin between the top 3 point guards, curry there and westbrook, dragic is pushing for top 3 spot but I'd say the best is cp3

[scm5]

wat can the top guards do that he cant

Play defense.
