PG poll

jennings has got such swagger

this is me basically polling the young PGs in the league, so no nash etc

& no mario chalmers, sorry

so do you want a chris paul type pg or a john stockton type pg

nash is a pretty good hybrid. I dunno I've never been convinced that you can build your team around a pg

rondo of these guys, why no paul?

thought about including brandon knight but had to draw the line somewhere

hey hey DARREN COLLISON

rondo of these guys, why no paul?

this poll is just for the PGs that have come in the league in the last few years! paul/williams i think are in a class above this list.

it's not an objective list btw

yeah i forgot about darren collison -- he's really good

LOCK THRED

nobody wd/shd pick collison over rose/rondo/jennings/curry/evans anyway

I know it's your thread but if you have ty lawson up there over collison...

and a dude who isn't in the league tbf

but i'm just givin a hard time we can work w/this list

jonny flynn should get some love too! I'll work with this though, yeah

okay so my list would be

westbrook
rose
rondo
curry
jennings
evans
wall
lawson

i mean clearly only like 5 people on this list should get votes

wasn't too impressed by what I saw of westbrook last night - even after they put kobe on him he kept on running into the teeth of the lakers defense and getting his shit stolen.

yeah he was being stubborn

yah if you vote westbrook you're hoping he gains a bit of consistency and bball iq, which i think he will

damn i want to do some hoop data stuff on these guys but it's essentially the last way i need to be spending my time today

he has a chance to bring what rondo brings, but with a consistent shot & a good attitude

yup

I'm gonna stan for collison cause he singlehandedly carried my fantasy team (and also made me lose :{) but check out his stats in march

^^ feeling the same way

btw is aaron brooks legit now that's MIP or

yeah he's awesome and underrated -- i feel like every time i notice a rockets game, he's scored 32 pts

brooks led the league in 3's made this year iirc

http://images.dailyradar.com/media/uploads/ballhype/story_preview/2009/05/11/thirty_four_points_and_a_win_doesn_t_make_a_red_tu.png

^totally underrated, the fact that houston was .500 this year is just unreal

well I wouldn't call him underrated exactly - he did win the most improved player award this year iirc

he is now properly rated

tough list tho. is jennings a guy who can lead a team in a deron williams, locker room sense? think he's starting to already based on the atl/mil series-- so hes looking super good. curry i dunno if hes really a point guard, devastating scorer and good kid, but is he really a passer or playcaller, not sure- not seen enough of him tbh.

evans is so strong and does the freaky manu change of directions thing, but i think his destiny is to be #1 option on 46 win teams that get wiped out in the first round for years, iverson 2.0, will need a larry brown strong personality type to get further.

love rondo, his test will be in 1-2 years when he is the celt's undisputed #1 option, if he can really develop his jump shot i would take him, he just plays a weird and different game than anybody else, think you can truly build a team around him, just get smart guys who react fast and spot-up shooters. westbrook seems great too, not going to hold last nite against him, it was his fifth playoff game tbf. hes going to have a long career.

honestly think rose might have kind of peaked already (challops) but will stay there a long time- not a bad place. only seen a few minutes of wall youtubes b/c get one jump shot college basketball. love ty lawson but hes vinnie microwave jnr not #1 on a championship team.

in other words GREAT pg years ahead for the league and good thread

esp given that nash and kidd are still killin it despite aarp memberships, cp3 still a threat to reclaim superstar status, and i forget who said it first but i also "get" deron williams now and think he's the real answer here

curry is an excellent passer from what i've seen

deron was slept on so long (including by me)

standing in the shadows of paul

but instead of waiting 4 his <3brk 2 come, he just balled harder

have always chosen deron over cp3, in fact there may be evidence on last year's reg seaso nthread

yeah he's straight up amazing -- but this is his first year as undisputed #1 w/o interference from boozer or mehmet?

wait mehmet is utah's 3rd option??

book of mormon is utah's 3rd option

curry's a really good distributor from what i've seen -- i'm super high on him tho -- just so surprised at his ability to get open and get his own shot

feel bad for sayin this but I think cp3 might be the next baron davis - great, great great pg who's never going to have all the pieces around him he needs to shine

no way he's gonna smarten up and leave nawlins soon enough in my crystal ball

so did baron! that worked out...uh...kind of ok

i mean to a team worth a damn

yeah he's gotta get out of NO - he should go play with wade and bosh imo

they shd start their own team

maybe Im too much of a purist but I just don't think you build a team around a PG, as good as CP3 is, unless that PG also doubles for a center like magic

all the free agents, pool their moneys together, start a team in vegas called the high-rollers, logo is a pair of dice in front of a weed leaf

i wonder if that's gonna become a problem since we're in such a pg-rich era. like will all these dudes get max contracts and price their teams out of the additional pieces they really need?

george hill will be the best defensive player in this future league of PG's run amock

knowing the nba, yes

a dude on here i forgot who has a chance to be one of the... 10 best pgs in the league is jrue holiday

bring back the 90s, we need a million overpaid centers to block the million overpaid speedy PG

^^ real talk, I'm wondering if this sudden upsurgence of really quick & slashing PGs who are good at taking it to the hole is because every team is/was obsessed with signing 6'6-10' athletic swingmen in the hopes of getting the next MJ or Kobe or T-Mac and therefore no team really has anymore legitimate shotblockers

it's also kinda crazy to think that all these guys are dudes who grew up watchin iverson who is patient zero for how these dudes play

yeah curry & jennings are especially iverson

aight before I go to sleep would like to once again register my awe of collison and him being able to average 10+ assists when the best players he has to pass to are a 57 year old peja and david west

Rubio lol

don't sleep on thornton, they make a great duo. xp

yeah he's straight up amazing -- but this is his first year as undisputed #1 w/o interference from boozer or mehmet?

huh? his stats over the past 3 years are pretty much identical + boozer missed half of last year w/ injury. okur? seriously? he's been the leader for at least the past 3 years

he being dwizzle

anyway, i like derrick rose. rondo is great in some ways but poor 3 pt and ft shooting brings him down a lot imo

it's really amazing how piss poor of a shooter rondo is. it's as if his whole life he had an irrational fear of practicing it and focused on every other aspect of the game (almost all of which he excels at)

voting steph curry, mainly on fantasy team-carrying grounds. history will probably prove me wrong, but his shooting/passing/rebounding stats from the last few months are like DAMN

ranks:

curry
rose
rondo
wall
evans
westbrook
jennings
lawson

but y'know, they're all great

george hill george hill george hill

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

haha! i made a compelling case for RAJON PIERRE RONDO

tyreke might be derrick rose but better?

i still think of evans as not a point guard, but i haven't seen him play that much. neither can shoot threes. evans is better at getting to the ft line.

"me" DRAGIC, goran: 2010.

on the draft thread tlaking baout PGs and like damn there are a million of them that are productive scorers. it wd be p impossible to rank the top 20 at this point, but i think this year's assist numbers p easily give u the cream of the crop.

Steve Nash 11.0
Chris Paul 10.7
Deron Williams 10.5
Rajon Rondo 9.8

for rose, westbrook & d rose all going terror alert red this year

rondo, westbrook & d rose

they shd start their own team

i just wanna say i have been otm itt

haa how did wall not get any votes, hes gonna be the better than all these doodz

btw bison i support yr plan wholeheartedly

how did wall not get any votes

He'd never played a minute in the league when the poll was taken and Kentucky hadn't advanced to the NCAA championship game, which would have been necessary to get serious consideration when up against PGs who'd already spent time in the league (e.g. Rondo already had his first ring).

lol @ all but 2 of us

feel bad for sayin this but I think cp3 might be the next baron davis - great, great great pg who's never going to have all the pieces around him he needs to shine

lol like you knew he was gonna end up playing with BG when this poll was made

also dude is just as likely to miss a season with microfracture as he is to really shine w/ the clips ^_^

so, best PG in the assosh RIGHT NOW...Tony Parker or Jeremy Lin

Call me crazy but right now I will take Chris Paul over Lin.

haha yeah come on man

kyrie irving has next fwiw
