Should be 15-16 without injuries. I don't have a problem with it.

Id put him at 14 right behind Bledsoe.

None of these bolded are better than Jrue. Eric Bledsoe as 13 is a frickin joke. Dude is so overrated. Goran really isn't a true PG. Kemba can't even shoot and isn't that great defensively, and Rubio...well, the dude is garbage. Not sure why he is even on this list to begin with.

Hasn't Holiday been roughly top 10 at his position in about every statistic when healthy? I could be wrong. He is just one of the guys that is just totally well rounded which is why he gets overlooked.

He's better than Rondo too ppl need to stop living in the past with Rondo 8/8/5 41% FG

Like I said in the other thread

I'm sure somebody will complain about trading two lottery picks for Jrue but if they didn't they would've spent one of those picks on #30.

No MCW? I'm thinking he should be at least top 25. Also, Brandon Knight seems a bit low. The trade must have really hurt his stock. He was getting pub similar to Jeff Teague. I could see him borderline top 15.
I pretty shocked Holiday is still getting top 20 recognition. Missing almost 50 games two seasons in a row usually drops guys down. No one really knows how he is going to recover or if the injury will keep lingering. Sad situation. Guy has no trade value now until he shows he can stay healthy and produce close to what he was before..

He's a great defender and rebounder that draws fouls as a high rate.

He's more of a combo guard than a PG to me...
but that's just my opinion of course

I think that's fair. I also think you can say that about most of those guys. PG v SG distinction is largely gone. Can you create off the bounce for yourself and teammates? You're a pg. Harden, for example, could easily be on this list.

Dude is living off of his reputation circa 2012.

While that is true to an extent, I think the term point is very relevant. Are these people that you trust to bring the ball up and effectively set up offense? Evans can create off the bounce, but the guy will also shut an offense down with isolation. Bledsoe is pretty similar. Dude is definitely not a true point.

MCW might have the worst shot in basketball. Dude is a very good rebounder and passer, but man does his rotation on the ball stink.
Posted on 3/25/15 at 9:24 am to SouthMSReb
Dude is a combo guard just like Bledsoe. Like I said, not a true PG. This list is crap.

That is still a poor argument for those two not being better than Jrue.

The good thing is that Jrue is the player we need, regardless of his ranking on that list. AD is our superstar, we don't need a ball hog at the point.
He is also paid accordingly.
