Westbrook peaked highest, but prime I’d go Paul

Then Nash then Rose, who didn’t really get to realize his full potential so it makes sense he’d be lowest

Paul

big dropoff

Rose
Westbrook

Playmaking, Shooting, Defense and PG Instincts matter. See Kyle Lowry maximizing 1 year of Kawhi while other bums couldn't maximize their windows with similar stars like Durant, Harden, Jimmy, Noah, Boozer.

Shit while we're at it I'd take pre-injury Rondo and Kyle Lowry over Rose and Westbrook.

I get why some put Westbrook first. I just preferred Rose's style. He looked more under control than Westbrook at their best and was the better half-court player. Nash while great could be too passive. The same can also be said about Chris Paul. The best version of Paul though was great. At the end of the day you're splitting hairs. They're all close.
