Which 2 of these young guard would you want for the next 5 years? I left off the obvious ones like curry, Irving, harden, wall

There's so many good young guards these days:

Damian Lillard
Demar Derozan
Ricky Rubio
Klay Thompson
Isaiah Thomas
Mike Conley
Ty Lawson
Kemba walker
Jrue holiday
Kahwi Leonard
Carter-Williams
Victor Oladipo
Bradley Beal

Conley and Klay Thompson

Conley has been playing at an all star level this season (homer pick) and I would love to have Klay Thompson's shooting ability on any team.

Conley is a bit older than most of the guys you mentioned though. I think he is 27 now.

I'd take Lillard and Conley. Lillard is a must have and it's tough to decide whether I want Conley's defense or Klay Thompson's offense. It would depend on the team around them

No way would I even think about him. He relies on refs and flops. little to no defense and will sigle handily stop the hot hand on his own team and go iso ball and lose the game (Parsons, Grizzlies.)
he'll win you a lot, but nothing I'd build a championship team around.

I'd go with Lillard and Thompson.

At 26 they still have a few great years left, I was just going thru the list quickly off the top of my head

It depends on who else is on the team. If i have a really good post player ill take Thompson and Conley. Great defensive PG and a great leader, with 1 of the best shooters in the game in Thompson and a good post player.

if i have a horrible team with 0 scoring threats, ill take Kemba Walker and DeMar DeRozan. Since the Rudy Gay trade, DeRozan is averaging 22pts, 5rebs, and 4.8 assists. Only 5 players average over 22pts, 5rebs and 5 assists. Those players are KD, LBJ, Curry, Westbrook, and Harden.

And i picked Kemba because hes been 1 of my fav players since his college days. But you cant really go wrong with players like Lillard, Holiday, Lawson, etc. All are really good young players.

I'll try to get the posts up to spew some more bias.
