I think he is....if we're talking pure pg skills, I'd take him over Curry, and Westbrook.

Only one at his level currently is Wall, but I think Paul tops him in intelligence/craftiness.

If I wanted a scorer at the pg position, give me Curry & Westbrook.


As far as all around/classic/traditional pg play---CP3 is still hard to top IMO nh

HOW IS THIS EVEN DEBATABLE?

CP3: 17.5 ppg (58.5 TS %), 9.7 apg, 4.7 rpg, 1.9 spg, 2.2 TOV in 34.4 minutes per game. His PER is 24.8 and the rest of his advanced stats are amazing.

He's right up there with Curry.

Most of the coli operates based on forum trends and bandwagon movements, not facts. Sad state of affairs.

I'm gonna throw this out there, that 1/3rd of curry's 2 pointers and a little over 1/2 of curry's 3 pointers are assisted, he gets a lot of help from screeners + good ball movement on his team...

I think cp3 has the lowest % of assisted 2 and 3 pointers in the league which is impressive considering that hes scoring 17.5 and 10 with so few turnovers..

no the fukk he aint.

Kyrie is moving up the ranking for me breh.

I gotta admit I had him low on the totem pole the last couple years and even earlier in this season.

But now it seems he is coming into his own and def is becoming not just a scorer but also a play maker as well and also playing Defense much better.

He is def the best all around scorer at PG.

The PG posistion is SO good in the NBA right now.

Irving is moving up but he ain't on that elite level yet
