where does Dame fall? Did this last series of beasting change where you ranked Lillard? Did it affect where you ranked Westbrook?
My Super Subjective PG’ rankings by tier. Elite of the Elite: Steph, Harden, Dame Elite: Kyrie, Mike Conley, Jrue Holiday, Westbrook Getting there I want to see more: Ben Simmons, Da’aaron Fox, DRussell, Trea Young, and Jamal Murray. Top 3 is Easy: Steph, Harden, Dame Next two for me Westbrook and Mike Conley
ESPN rates Dame at 4th with Curry Harden and Irving ahead of him. 1. Curry ( hard to tell with so much talent around him is he good or just surrounded by talent ?) 2. Harden ( not really a PG since he has CP3 and ole` defense)* note ole` defense is very good when you are a matador and the bull charges you and you step to the side with the cape and the crowd goes OLE`. Good for bullfighting bad for NBA. 3. Kyrie Irving could quite possibly belong here but he needs to stop reading articles about how great he is and play the game. Right now he needs to play with Westbrook so they can jerk each other off and tell each other how great they are. 4. Dame easily should move into the 2 spot and when the Warriors blow up next season we will really see how good Curry is. Probably the best floor general in the NBA's current players 5. Chris Paul could easily be #1 too bad about his epilepsy. Every time a defender gets near him he has a seizure and flops to the ground, you would think with the health care the NBA gets he could easily afford Dilantin and keep that under control. 6. Westbrook triple double machine always fantasizes of himself when masturbating has no clue on how to lead a team. I could go on but we have a threads for that. Just my take on the top 6 point guards in the NBA.
If Harden is a PG, I think he would have to be placed 1st right now, even without his defense. But he really isn't a PG IMO. Not with Hall of Fame CP3 next to him. It's hard to evaluate Steph at the moment because everyone around him, but his team is under-performing at the moment. Dame's team was predicted to be a 27-35 win team but they over-performed and then without their second best player kicked the thunder in their teeth. Individually Dame is putting on a better performance but he is also forced to at the moment. 1 and 1a Steph and Dame until we get to see how they match up in the WCF. I agree Irving is 3rd but he is still in the super elite group. Then, 4 and 5 get tough. For the moment I might say Westbrook and Holiday. But looking to next year I think Simmons and one of several other youngsters could jump into the 4/5 spot. I am wondering how Steph will adjust to his team next year, will he be able to put them on his shoulders like he has in the past or are those days leaving with Durant? I could see some struggles from him next year. But still elite and top 5, but I wonder what we see. I think next year Dame jumps to the consensus #1 PG in the NBA.
This is clearly a trick question... Rank the top-5 PG's? 1) Paul George 2) Pau Gasol That's the end of the list. Can't be done.
4. Kyrie Irving ... 3. Damian Lillard ... 2. James Harden ... 1. Stephen Curry ... 0. Playoff Lillard
