Punch Bowl Re-Filler
I wasn't just taking one game.
Did we completely forget the first two games in which Deron went 3-10 and 3-12. He also has 25 TO's, despite him saying he was going to focus on cutting those down. If you focus on anything other than durability, CP3 is a better PG. He averages more points, more assists, more steals. Well, Deron has him by a few blocked shots. New Orleans has had turnover of players too. Rasual and Chandler were starters a couple of years ago and both are gone, as is their sixth man, Posey.
Deron has missed 24 games over 5 years; Paul has missed 65.
I guess the only way this argument will be settled is to see what CP3 does with a new team and how Deron does in Dallas in a few years.
(just joking)
Look, I'm a big Deron fan. I'm happy the Jazz have such a great PG after suffering through the likes of McLeod, Palacio, etc. It's just MHO that Deron isn't the #1 PG in the league. Like has been mentioned before, he isn't the best at any one thing. CP can take over games because of his quickness. Teams can stop Deron's penetration and force him to find an open cutter or throw it back outside.
