A lot of talk has been going down about best PG in the league. Boozer's trying to get in on it as well. Is he trying to say whoever he plays with becomes the best PG in the league? Haha.

NBA.com narrows it down to D-Will and D-Rose and seems to think Rose is the best right now.

I don't think D-Rose is that great. He may be playing well at the moment and is the in-form PG currently. But he's still a score first point guard whose assists are very inconsistent. He's a volume shooter/scorer in my book. I rate Paul above him.

My top 5 PGs:

1. D-Will
2. Paul
3. Rose
4. Rondo
5. Nash

List down your top 5!
 
I think Parker has to be in this discussion. The Spurs are playing incredible ball right now, and looking every bit as good as they have in their championship years. Parker is no small part of that. One big thing to discuss is the criteria that make a great pg. Are we talking team success and the degree in which that pg contributes to that? Or simply individual accolades or perceived skill as a pg? Or maybe consistency, performing at that level year-in and year-out? Is it drive or competetiveness? Shoot-first or pass-first or just get the freaking job done however? Or all of the above? For me I list them as follows:

1. D-Will (some homerism here, won't deny it...he is top 3 easily from all perspectives listed above)
2. Paul
3. Rondo
4. Parker
5. Nash

Rose is rising fast but for me the jury is still out. He is probably top 5 talent and right now is playing as a top 5 guard but he needs to show it for more than a third of a season before he cracks into this group.

Also my top 3 could switch spots around and I would not lose any sleep. Having a top 3 pg on our team is a great thing, regardless of whether he is really #1 or #3.

I think it's all of the criteria you mentioned. I can't really single out any one.

About leadership, I know it's not really fair for outsiders to judge since we're only observing games from tv or stands, but I think Paul seems to be a better leader than Dwill. He has a better temperament about him and is a class player. He just goes on with his job and seems unfazed by media/trade speculation and stuff like that. Doesn't whine publicly even though he is not surrounded by a great team. D Will on the other hand seems more prone to tantrums. There seems to be a great need for the Jazz organisation to keep him pleased and satisfied.

Don't get me wrong I admire Deron's leadership. Just feel that maybe Chris shows it better.
 
Boozers like the friend that dated the hot girl and then got dumped by said hot girl. He then goes and dates a down grade of hot girl and tries to convince everyone how great and better she is than the hot girl. I'm not fooled.

Apparently D-Will has slipped to 3rd.
 
Boozer is a douche. That's what I know for sure.

DRose is not a true PG in my opinion. If you watched the 2010 World Championship, you were able to see that Rose has no idea about the basketball as a team game. His approach is always 1-on-1s. He still has not figured out that the game in played 5 on 5. I can assure you that if you put Rose in this Jazz system, the Jazz are done for good. That's what happened with USA team with Rose at the helm. They were not fluid offensively. Rose is a phenomenal scorer, penetrator. He has the quickest 1st step and he is better than DWade when it comes to changing directions. That means a lot. He has also improved his shooting. He can score 30+ in any game because his strengths and his being in attack mode allows him to do so. Coach K eventually started to use Westbrook, who is as good athlete as Rose and is a better facilitator + rebounder + defender than Rose much more and it paid dividends to them.

Deron is the best young PG right now in the NBA period. Does he have any weakness? He has a post-up game that no other PG has. His game is balanced and he knows the game, he knows how to balance the scoring of the team and how to make others better. I think, if the Jazz can figure out what keeps them from consistently playing efficient Jazz basketball, you will see even a better Deron. He can take over games and his offensive repertoire is much wide and deeper than any other PG. Westbrook is the 2nd best PG in my opinion. Rose is 3rd and I'm not sold on on his basic PG skills. He is much of a scorer to me. Rondo is inconsistent and still is unreliable when it matters most.
 
I agree completely with memo is money. Right now, Rose is a better pure scorer than Deron is. He's also a better athlete than Deron is. Deron is a better point guard though right now. He has the ability to make everyone else around him on the floor much better, and Rose does not have that ability. How the hell is Rondo in this discussion at all? He can't shoot.
