Steve Nash: "Not sure You Can Categorize Rose and Westbrook As PG's"

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Rondo does.

Only because his offensive-limits force him to be. Rose pacspits at the limits of traditional roles.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Ive said many times that Derrick Rose is the best player playing PG in the league but he is not the best PG in the league. That title belongs to CP3 and D-Will.

We're living in 2012, not 1912. This rhetoric makes no sense in this day and age.

Put Nash you don't play defense.

So what are you?

 

[DalMem]

Exactly.

Dude never played defense his whole career.

Rondo is the closest to a "pure" point guard that we have in the league after Nash. In another time D-Rose and Westbrook wouldn't even be coveted because they would have got the awful tweener label. But i just call those types guards. No 2 or lead or power guard. They are just simply guards. But Rondo could always have played in the L because he looks to past first and would honestly be content with shooting 5 times a game and averaging 15-20 assists a game if he could.

Yeah, a guy that put up 25/8/4 and won the MVP wouldn't have been coveted in another time....

And Bulls coaches had to convince Rose to shoot more because we needed him to.

Even the year he won MVP, at the beginning of the year fans would complain that he was looking to pass too much.

Put Rose on a team with 3 HOF and he doesn't have to shoot 18 times a game.

Ten years ago Rose would not have been a number one pick. They would have said to short to be a SG and not good enough to be a PG.

 

[jwinfield]

But Iverson was a #1 pick

If Yao didn't come over, Jay Williams would've been #1

Steve Francis was a possible #1 in 99, Bulls thought about taking him.

I agree with him about Russel who has been converted into PG since he hit the NBA, but Rose is a PG, if he had better offensive teammates he'd make better use of them.

I don't want to hear that. Did you see those teammates Nash played with last season in Phoenix when he nearly averaged 11 assist a game?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I don't want to hear that. Who did Nash have the last seasons in Phoenix when averaged almost 11 assist a game though?

Co-sign breh breh.
