Burke's Rise to Become the Greatest PG in Today's NBA!

I submit deleting Monta from discussion (burks too), moving Parker and Dragic into top ten, and putting a bullet in Jenning's head.

Hey, I didn't create that list! Don't blame me for it. It was pulled off the CBS sports link I referenced. Seriously Francis, lighten up!

...we would have cut you some slack but the title of the thread seemed like you were serious about Burke!
 
OK, but the problem is that we have to have a list of people BELOW Trey to make it fun (Dennis Schroder comes to mind.) So for starters I guess we can decide which of the 97 or so should be thrown off the list and not considered. There are people that only rarely play point that could be pared down (Burks is on this list.) We could probably start there. I'm just not ready to deny Nando De Colo his moment in the sun quite yet!
 
I like the idea of the thread. Repped.

Wall is a little high for my liking doe. I would take the next four before him.
 
So like this:
1. Stephen Curry, GS
2. Chris Paul, LAC
3. Damian Lillard, POR
4. Russell Westbrook, OKC
5. Kyrie Irving, CLE
6. Tony Parker, SA
7. John Wall, WAS
8. Goran Dragic, PHO
9. Brandon Jennings, DET
10. Kemba Walker, CHA
Are we rolling with Damian Lillard as the third best point guard in the league?

C'mon CJ, out of all things to be banging on, comparing today's NBA athlete to yesteryear's, by implying today's player is more out of control, is just b.s. Players these days are far more careful how they treat their bodies. Your tattoo hate is one thing but trying to say they do more drugs and drink more is dishonest. I bet not one NBA player smokes cigarettes and back in your favorite times, half the team smoked. Hell, some lit up at halftime. I bet less than half of the players of today drink or smoke pot and only a small percentage abuse it. These players have a lot at stake. A lot more than before. Players from back in the day were regular smokers and drinkers and drug abusers. I dont buy it at all that it was cleaner in the older days.

Can you imagine Kobe Bryant, Lebron, or someone like Burke smoking cigarettes and snorting coke? Hell ****ing no you cant. .

So really the game has cleaned up and improved
 
1. Chris Paul, LAC
2. Damian Lillard
3. Russell Westbrook, OKC
4. Stephen Curry, GS
5. Tony Parker
6. Ty Lawson
7. John Wall
8. Kyrie Irving
9. Eric Bledsoe
10. Goran Dragic, PHO
11. Jrue Holiday
12. Mike Conley
13. Isaiah Thomas, SAC
14. Kemba Walker, CHA
15. Brandon Jennings
16. Jeff Teague, ATL
17. Michael Carter-Williams, PHI (Rookie)
18. Kyle Lowry, TOR
19. George Hill, IND
20. Ricky Rubio, MIN
21. Jose Calderon, DAL
22. Avery Bradley, BOS
23. Jameer Nelson, ORL
24. Reggie Jackson, OKC
25. Trey Burke, UTA (Rookie)
26. Deron Williams, BKN

Rondo top5 if he bounces back strong as ever. Parker also top3 at the end of the year when the Spurs start playing for real. Right now he's getting Pop wellness treatment. Deron obvi belongs top10 if healthy. Rose out for the season so might as well leave him completely out.
 
Wow, this is going to be pretty difficult. I think that in order to keep things even, we still need to go "what have you done for me lately?" where your entire past is thrown out as of the beginning of the year. If you are fighting through injuries, your game will correct itself and you will rise. I agree on eliminating Rose for now. He is nuked.
I guess to start on the most basic level, is the best Point Guard right now Curry or Paul? Stats say Curry going away.

Not so fast my friend.

chris paul is having a ridiculous season. more assists +less TOs = better point guard.
and stats only tell half the story. chris paul is the ultimate floor general. curry has a long way to go in that regard.
