    You seem to have the same "bias" as the Olympic coaches and I.

    lol?

    9th or 10th. At this point I would take him over Wall, but they're both quality young point guards.

    Right now Lillard is about 15th in terms of PER and a few other advanced stats, but in terms of overall production he's right there with Wall.

    Rubio?

    I thought he was a Kidd/Nash hybrid?

    Lillard is better than Curry. Switch them last year and the Warriors do at least as well. Curry's Blazers don't win 30 games.

    No no no. He's in the mold of Rondo, lol.

    Also- either list Rose at #1 (where he was when got hurt) or don't list him at all.

    I usually don't agree with KS, but he's got 2 damn good points there. Well, #1 is at least debatable.

    These kind of rankings are always subjective. It would be better to do a ton of different rankings - by passing skill, shooting, win shares, defense and let people weight what they thought was more important to come up with some kind of overall ranking (or not). I think of Rose as more like Allen Iverson - a dynamic scorer, but not really that great at running a team. The same is true of Curry and Lillard, to a certain extent. Paul's the best combination of scorer and team-runner in the league, but he's getting up there and is a sieve on defense, despite getting votes for all-defense because of his steals.

    That's either complete bullshit or true just because Curry's fragile ankles couldn't handle the big minutes.

    PG is the deepest position in the league, so while I don't like #15 its not terribly unfair when you think of it that way. There isn't much difference between the #5 PG and the number #15. But look at centers and there is a world of difference.

    And you might need a drug test putting Anthony Davis #6 FAMS!

    Don't know why any of you are bitching about this. Lillard as a rookie is 15th in the league. I think possibly 11-12 personally; but the list ain't that bad. I bet in 2-3 years, he will be top 5
