    After seeing the first few of his games, do you think he can become a superstar in this league?

    Absolutely. He's been fantastic so far in his first few games. Some may gripe about his assist numbers, but his teammates aren't really helping that. In my book, he's a good jumper away from being one of the better PGs in the league, if he isn't already.

    He'll be an all-star, but I'm not sure a "superstar". There is only about 6 or 7 of those in the whole league.

    he could be on his way to all star status, but he has a long way to go to even be talked about superstar.

    w/ kirk out for 3 months, rose has a chance to show if he can step up as a rookie in the begginign of the season. ya, that wont be easy, but lucky hes in the east.

    Definitely right about him being a ways from superstar status...but All Star isn't too far off.

    And I do agree with you again, that he's got a golden opportunity ahead of him with Kirk getting hurt. However, I don't think it'd matter what conference he plays in. He could be successful in the West, just as he is in the East.

    Absolutely he has all the potenial. His jumper has been better than i thought. His assist total would definetly be higher if his teammates could hit some shots.

    I love that he plays undercontrol most of the time and makes the right decision most of the time when he has the ball. He'll score if he's open and pass if it's not there and not force too much. Incredible to see as a rookie.

    I think within 2-3 years he'll be the 3rd best guard in the league after CP3 and Derron with an arguement for any of those three being in any order 1-3.

    It's way too early to tell if he'll be a superstar/great player, no one knows how hard he'll work each year to improve to be great.

    I disagree. Chris Paul will be #1 among point guards, and Rose and Williams will only be able to fight for second. Paul is on a completely different level than those two.

    I would tend to agree. Right now, Paul has just put himself head and shoulders above the rest of the league in terms of PG play. He's halfway to the record for 20pt/10ast games to start the season (14 is the record) and I wouldn't doubt if he breaks it, he's just that good.

    Yes, he will be one of the best point guards in the future. Up there with Deron Williams and Chris Paul.
