Top 5 point guards in the NBA today

Dan Dickau

for now

1.Rose
2.CP
3.Westbrook
4.Deron
5.Nash

This is a general question to whoever:

But why does virtually everyone seem to assume that Rose is better than Westbrook?

I never quite understood that.

Westbrook is very easily arguably as good as Rose.

Nash has to be there somewhere

would probably swap Rondo and Westbrook.

Westbrook is definitely better than Rondo.

Fwiw, Rose and Westbrooks shooting percentages are virtually the same with a slight tilt in Rose's favor.

Westbrook averages half an assist more per game than Rose, but also half a turnover as well. Not to mention that Westbrook gets to play with the best SF in the game not named LeBron James. As mentioned before, Rose has missed his two best post players for a sizable portion of the year and has Keith Bogans as one of his primary running mates.

I haven't been able to watch many Thunder games and when I do I'm mainly focused on what Durant and some other players are doing, so I can't comment on Westbrook's defense, but I do know that Rose is a great perimeter defender and it's not a stretch to say he's in the top 3-5 for starting PGs.

Rose is a better 3 point shooter. Westbrook is better at getting to the line.

I agree that they aren't too far apart, though Rose is the more polished scorer.

Yea.

I'm not even saying Westbrook is better nor am I saying anyone is wrong for picking Rose.

i just think it's ridiculous that one is the concensus best and the other is around 4th or 5th on every single list.

I'd say wherever you have one,t he other should be right next to him. They're almost equal, IMO.

<-- Hornets fan and say as of NOW. Paul shouldn't be in top 3

1. Baron Davis
