    Other than current day wade and waiters, it's good.

    I said current day wade. In case you missed it the first time.

    CJ is more skilled than all of them except for maybe Harden.

    Look closely, and see if you can spot the difference . One of these things is not like the others:

    Dion Waiters does it again, I really can't believe it. He's so modest. Clearly he should be #1, he just doesn't want to brag.

    This is the first Top Five I've read that doesn't have CJ in it. Congrats Dion, that takes effort.

    CJ is probably third. Klay is the best all around SG. Harden the best scorer. Derozan has a mid range game but it's not as good as CJs. He doesn't even have a 3pt shot.

    I wonder if it's his career PER = 12.3, his career TS% of .491, his VORP of -1.1 or his even worse playoff numbers that qualifies Waiters, in his mind, to be on this list.

    For those who might be wondering just how not close this is, here's a statistical comparison of Waiters' Top 5.

    Yeah i agree. I think cases could be made for Derozan or CJ at 3. this is the year people won't be able to hang onto Wade being better. Beal could be #5 too if you really think about it.

    But i would rather have Klay or Harden than CJ. That's about it.

    Insert CJ at 4. Which is why I said not that far off. Waiters at 4 is obviously ridiculous. Wade is at 3 based on reputation. I'd rather have CJ at 3, but wouldn't really give it a 2nd glance if CJ was at 4.

    Meyers would make the list of the top 5 7ft tall shooting guards.
