re: Rank the top 5 PGs in the NBA right now

When they come back down to earth? That was already "supposed to happen" during this last 5 game stretch. Hell, most of us would have been ecstatic with a 3-2 record, but the fact that we went 5-0 is HUGE and it shows just how good this team is when fully healthy and with Bud at the helm. Just FYI, I was not serious about Teague. He's playing really well, but he still has to prove that he isn't afraid to become the floor general out there. His game is there, but his mentality is not.

Parker
Curry
Westbrook
Paul
Conley

Thanks, brah.

I always wish Paul had the talent around him in his prime to see if he could buck the "traditional PGs don't win" myth. He's had one legit chance his entire career before very obviously losing a step to injury (don't believe me, look up 07-08 Paul).

If I had to take 5 PGs into the playoffs with me I'd go Westbrook, Lillard, Curry, Paul, Parker in that order.

1. Curry
2. Westbrook
3. Wall
4. CP3
5. Kyle Lowry

Next group would be Lillard, Conley, Tony Parker, etc.

I'm a huge Lillard fan, but think he's actually more of a SG guard than a PG. He averaged 5.3assists last year and right over 6 this year. Not bad by any means, but would like to see him be in the 7-8range. I do like that he's shooting much more efficiently this year, below 43% these last 2 years to over 46% this season. And his steals are up, below 1.0 per game the past 2 seasons to 1.5 this year. So he's improved this year. Still not a great defender but is better. If he keeps this up he will be in my top 5 list soon.

Make a case for John Wall over Chris Paul. You're clueless

1. Westbrook
2. Curry
3. CP3
4. Dame
5. Lowry

FWIW, his defensive win shares have actually slightly decreased from last season to this season.
