CJ McCollum. Most of us had him as a third tier 2 guard last time I asked..

[Kblaze8855]

I think right now we all owe him a solid:

of admiration.


How much more respect are you putting on his name right now? Any at all?

Have you seen anything to change where on this list you would place him?


Harden
Klay
Oladipo
Beal
Jimmy Butler
Derozan
Booker
Mitchell

[NBAGOAT]

over derozan booker and mitchell for sure. I leaned that way before however. Oladipo wasnt that great before his injury anyway so cant count him either. Klay came off some great playoff games too so we'll have to wait and see and beal was great this year

[90sgoat]

Great performance, but you need to see him play Klay/Curry on defense to see what he is about.

He's usually a volume shooter but tonight he was everything. Dude was hitting impossible shots in a slugfest, I have so much respect for the guy :applause:

[warriorfan]

Always been a huge CJ fan. I got accused of trolling whenever I bring up Klay vs CJ comparisons though... :confusedshrug:

You are virtually always trolling on the subject of anyone who plays with Steph because you are wildly unreasonable in hating on all his teammates. If CJ played with Steph you would act like hes a role player too.

[Manny98]

I always had him ahead of Rozy,Booker,Mitchell

Butler is a SF

Harden
Oladipo
Klay
Beal
CJ
Lou
LeVert
Booker
DeMar
Mitchell

Is how i'd rank the top shooting guards

Beal and Oladipo are easily better than CJ.

Don’t let a hot game fool you.

I forgot about oladipo and beal.


they can headline the 2nd tier.

Better than all of them except beal.

If harden focused on midrange instead of flopping 3s he'd be better but alas that isn't the case.

Did you just seriously say CJ McCollum is better than Harden?

[fsvr54]

He's better than Lillard and has always been. Blazers would be better with him as the lead guard.

:oldlol:

Wasn't a joke.

[RidonKs]

He got a clean shot off every time. Nothing was out of control, no circus shots, just patient baiting and quick moves. It was incredible and definitely lifted him a notch in my opinion. I think enough to put him in competition for best shooting guard in the league. It just seemed like a really replicable performance. He was mostly hitting semi-open midrange jumpers and carving through the defense for floaters and layups.

If I had to choose one shooting guard for one game to play with a random selection of teammates, I'd probably pick Mccollum. And I wouldn't have before this game. This was a career defining moment.

[RRR3]

:oldlol:
While that was undoubtedly a ridiculous take, that wasn’t even the worse one in this thread.


“Better than Harden”-tpols






:facepalm

[ArbitraryWater]

youre right.



this elavated him

[E_Stamkos]

He's not better than Beal.

Harden doesn't play basketball dummy. CJ does...

if he quit the gimmick bullshit he'd be better but the I so style and flopping disqualify harden.

CJ just showed more in the playoffs this year than harden ever has.

Stop posting.

[PickernRoller]

Showed up all series long more or less. Dude's a baller but I do have questions for him to carry a team as the man - and not a 1B.

[RoseCity07]

I wouldn't trade him for anyone on that list except Klay. That's a maybe too.

Klay can't finish like CJ. I'll take someone with more scoring versatility over a sharpshooter like Klay.

[Kblaze8855]

I think the blazers would trade him for 3 of them if healthy but maybe not right this second. Normal emotional day....yea. They would sway him for Klay and Harden and think about Oladipo I believe. If they had a guarantee of health at least.

The thing is CJ has been a big game player. Only Klay is as proven and plays before defense. Harden is laughable. He's a big time choker and dominates the ball. That ain' working with Lillard.

Oladipo lol. Hell no.

Klay is the best SG in the NBA. Has been for a while.

[zizozain]

Oladipo >Mitchell>CJ McCollum>Beal> Klay

[Smoke117]

One good series doesn't change anything. He's still just a low impact high volume shooter that has no business being paid the max.

Give me CJ over everyone except for Harden and Klay, really.


Jimmy and Vic are right there with him, but honestly if I had the choice of any SG other than Harden/Klay, give me CJ on the Lakers. Absolutely.

This. Except:
Mitchell is an unknown factor so I can't say either way.
Beal has impressed me quite a few times. He might be better too.

People are quick to forget about guys who haven't been given the opportunities.

[Milbuck]

Healthy Oladipo and Jimmy are still a level above him. Not overreacting to a couple playoff series.

Maybe we have a different idea of what "tier" means.

Also depends on how we are defining "shooting guard"
