Even though I feel the other two may be better players than him in a vacuum, since none of the three are good enough to be the best player on a title team, I’d rather have Kyrie than Russ or Rose since I think he’s better at being a second option than the others.
Rose TWICE led the Bulls to the best record in the league. In only his third season, he won MVP and got the Bulls of the ECF. Injuries robbed him of the opportunity to prove he could be. #1 on a title team. To say he wasn’t good enough is nonsense. With a better supporting cast, of course he could’ve been a #1 on a title team.
Look at the teams that won titles after Rose got injured. Now tell me the lineup around Rose that he could be the best player on the team and win the title against any of those teams. He was never beating Bron in the playoffs anyway. Let’s be real here.

How did those Bulls team perform without him?
Bulls finished with the third best record in the East without him in 2014, finished 5th in 2013 and went 18 - 9 without him in 2012. That's. 666 win pace WITHOUT Rose.
At no point was Rose the best player in the league. He was top 6 but he wasn't better than LeBron and there other players with stronger cases than him also.

It’s just impossible to know if Rose ever learns how to shoot from outside if that athleticism stays intact. Kyrie at his best could apply very similar levels of pressure when driving and was a sniper.
Can you read? I said "with a better supporting cast," he absolutely could've won a ring. Mind you he led the Bulls to the best record in just his 3rd and 4th seasons with his best offense players being Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Rip Hamilton (his 4th season).
Lebron finally won when he teamed up with better supporting casts.

They performed average. I watched every game. I'm a Chicago resident. Why don't you mention how the Bulls went from a 75% winning percentage in those two years then the years he was hurt, they dropped up a 58% winning percentage.
18-9 without him, but 32-7 with him that season. They sure didn't miss a beat!

The fact that his teams won nearly 50 games without him in 2013 and played .666 ball without him in 2012 to maintain the number 1 seed shows how good of a supporting cast they were and that they weren't solely reliant on him.They performed average.
