Top Point Guards for the upcoming 2015-2016 season?

[DOUBLE DRIBBLE]

Where do you rate them?
My Top-10

1. Curry
2. Westbrook
3. Paul
4. Wall
5. Irving
6. Bledsoe
7. Rose
8. Lillard
9. Lowry
10.Lawson

I left Rondo off... not sure about him... Potential is there for him to have a nice bounce back year playing in a new scenery alongside Boogie but curious how he gets along with Coach Karl. Might be a disaster.

Agree with this one, as long as the "tiers" have no order.

[hawksdogsbraves]

I'm not going to sit hear and say Teague is flat out better than Knight, Bledsoe, Dragic, or Rose, but I'd love to see some explanation of why they should be so clearly ranked above him.

True, could put Teague over all 4 too.

[hawksdogsbraves]

True, could put Teague over all 4 too.

I honestly don't know that I'd take him before any of those guys but he IS an All-Star and he DID play a huge role in a 60 win team.

Just deserves a little respect, that's all.

[DOUBLE DRIBBLE]

I left him off my list because I thought the 10 I listed were better... But not by much. Teague, Dragic and Thomas are right up there with them... I'd say those 3 players fall around the players in the 8-9-10 range as well.

My 1-5 in my opinion are top tier of the crop... With 6-10 being second tier. I'd say Teague along with Dragic and Thomas and Knight can be mentioned up there with the 2nd tier players.

[theaussieguy]

Tier 1
Rondo
Curry
Paul

Tier 2
Wall
Irving
Dragic

Tier 3
Westbrook
Rose
Lillard
Mike Conley

[Legends66NBA7]

Forgot about Conley too. I would actually put him in either tier 2 or 3. Very underrated player IMO.

[Milbuck]

1. Westbrook
2. Curry
3. CP3
4. Wall
5. Irving
6. Rose
7. Conley
8. Lillard
9. Dragic
10. Teague

I think Rose is in for a solid year. People are understandably down on him but I think he'll be fine. A coach who actually knows how to coach offense should do wonders for him. Athletically he's already back at a high level, the issue was mostly stamina, which contributed to a lot of his retarded shot selection. Dude would have games where he was well-rested and looked explosive as hell, then the next game he'd look drained and would start chucking dumb 3 after dumb 3. Dropping 10-12 pounds should help out a lot. And this is also the first offseason in years where he gets to work on his game without also rehabbing.

Good list. I think either Rose, Lowry, or Lawson are likely to drop off, and be replaced by Conley.

I think this is Wall's year to move into the top-tier with Cp3/Curry/Westbrook

Wall's shooting range and accuracy have made steady improvements each season. He's actually an average mid-range shooter for a guard at this point, so just a little more consistency from 3 will be huge (and feasible)

Wall is the best defensive pg in the league, because of his combination of length, strength, quickness, and help-D instincts.

The biggest improvement I saw from him last season was in closing games. He figured out that he can force his way to the bucket at will. If he did it all game he'd get the shit beat out of him, but he can afford to be reckless with the game on the line, and I saw him do it time and time again last season. He wasn't settling for jumpers after 10 seconds of standing still like he used to.

Obviously I don't need to say anything about his vision/passing. He's second only to CP3. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nekL0V_NA1g/UpVKwoAtvkI/AAAAAAAAATU/rxcRS9tacWA/s1600/wnene.gif

[SCdac]

crazy (but understandable) to see how much tony parker has dropped in the matter of a season or two.. age, fatigue, loss of quickness will do it

I was just about to say, if anyone even puts TP in an HM they are blind. Unless it really was all injury last year, he was a below average player. Spurs were better with him off the court than on, he frustrated me so much. Let's hope he's back to Parker and not still Porker.

oh okay, i thought we were talking about the 2015-16 season.

[Legends66NBA7]

I'd put Lowry at the low end of tier 4.

[SaltyMeatballs]

The season hasn't started yet. Idiot. That's why RRR3 is using stats and accolades from last season. Idiot.

oh my goodness, the 2015-16 season hasnt started yet? thank you captain obvious, i mean captain idiot.

[Heavincent]

Stop posting.

You know Irving is only 23, right? He's only going to get better. He already has the ability to take over a game better than CP3.

[ISHGoat]

Rose is not an above average starter at this point

You really do have to be an idiot to put Westbrook over Paul though...anybody who actually wants to win would never do that. The difference in their level of bbiq's is so vast that it makes it absurd to pick Rus over Paul.

That's funny, because teams with Chris Paul tend to implode in the playoffs. A few examples:

- losing by 58 points in the playoffs
- blowing a 3-1 lead to the Rockets
- game 5 vs OKC
- getting backdoor swept by Memphis

Doesn't mean he's better than CP3 currently...
