Point guards are being ridiculous this year

[yobore]

Did they make the rim wider or something? I know people always say we're in a "PG era" but this year I think it's especially true.

You've got:

PGs who are putting up the best PER's since pre-injury CP:
Curry
Paul

PGs who are the best player in the eastern conference so far:
Lowry

The future of the position playing lights out:
Lillard
Irving
Wall

Other PG's who are playing at a ridiculous level
Teague
Isaiah
Lawson

And Westbrook has looked really good in his limited games.

It seems like all of these guys are playing at the top of their games this season or in Paul's case the 5-year top.

The league really is laden with quality players at the point right now. Such a cluster of talent in one position is probably the reason why a guy like Rondo is so difficult to trade. It seems that almost every team has that position occupied.

[Dragic4Life]

You forgot Dragic.:facepalm

[Choke]

:roll: mentioning Thomas. He was terrible.

[penny4president]

Lin 0/10 :lol :lol

[Darius]

Paul is on some next-level-efficiency-sh:t.

53%/43%/88% shooting with a 6.2/1 Asst/TO ratio

Don't forget Parker shooting incredibly efficient from beyond the arch (.68% on 1.5 attempts a game), leading the league. It'll probably balance out over the course of the season, but still :applause:

Years ago the league was filled with SG's and SF's and the PG spot was lacking.

Seriously, he hasn't shot close to this well in years (might be his best shooting splits if he somehow kept this up). I think he started out hot last year too. I saw a graphic last week saying from right elbow to 3pt line he was making like 82% of his jumpers. Literally shot much better from mid range than from restricted area.

[Collie]

It's like the 80's with small forwards, where pretty much every team had a 16+ppg small forward.

[Nets fan 93]

Been like that for a few years. And Lillard/Wall/Irving are not only the gaurds of the future... They are the gaurds of right now. I expect them all on the allstar team and in the playoffs

[sammichoffate]

Conley, Parker, and Dragic are in there as well, Rose still isn't himself though. Lou Williams is also a sleeper X-factor as of late. PG position is ****ing stacked atm

[Mr. Jabbar]

lakers always got the short straw is the modern pg era

lakers always got the short straw is the modern pg eraCould have had Deron Williams if the Front Office played their cards right but meh

[outbreak]

It's pretty crazy that you can even look at most teams second string and find guys who could have been servicable starters in previous eras

100mil for 5 yrs? no ty

[PsychoBe]

rule changes

[Hotlantadude81]

Dennis Schroder will probably join this list before long.

[swagga]

and yet none will lead their team to a ring. Like the last 20 years. Unless you count lebron a pg.

I know you are joking with that, you seem to be old enough to remember the cavs gameplanning for duncan and leaving parker a LOT of room. We all know who the real mvp/fmvp was... hell, even today duncan has the best case for spurs mvp.

2004 is the same scenario. Billups getting it over the big ben.
