    Yep, after today, he's second in scoring for SGs trailing only Derozan (HOU is playing Harden at PG this year).

    Hardens not a PG though. He's a SG that brings the ball up every time lol.

    They're calling him a PG and using his as one. Eric Gordon is starting at SG and playing over 32 MPG. If Harden isn't their PG, who us?

    Klay is broken right now. He's shooting .384 FG% and .196 3FG%. His PER is 8.9. I know it's only been six games, but he needs to snap out of it, or he's not in the discussion for top SG right now.

    Not sure about cJ, but I would not include Wade at this point in his career

    He had a great game.....I think he'd own 6man of the year if he'd buy into it like Iguodala did in GS...not putting him as high as some because of two way play which he's not that accomplished at yet

    Because he looks old and is only averaging about 28 minutes per game because of it. Not saying he sucks, just that he is not top 5

    Interesting, I've been thinking the same but trading CJ for a game changing big of SF. I could see CJ becoming expendable instead of Crabbe.

    Problem is CJ is 10 times better. You don't bring a borderline all star off the bench. He'd be an all star in the east. It would just mean Lillard and CJ play seperate and together at different times in the game. It makes no sense.

    And if CJ comes off the bench, then where does his rest come from? The first six minutes of each half. So if you bring him off the bench, then he either has to play 18 straight minutes each half or play around only 30 minutes. Neither are good options.
