its not
 
Steph is still the #1 PG in the league
CP3 is #2
If Harden counts he's #3
Then Westbrook
Then Wall, Lowry, IT, and Kyrie follow suit
I really hope those last four aren't in order

On how they are playing this year, it is. In overall talent, of course not

If that actually was the case, IT should be 5, right?

although westbrook is probably too high, since his stats are all inflated to volume

I feel like Paulius has negatively impacted the view of Westbrook by the entire board haha

Not worse than Marcus Smart or Giannis though


I used to love Westbrook. But his efficiency is awful. He puts up great numbers without context, but he Rondo's for assists a good bit (just looking to get assists rather than getting the team points), and leaves his defenders open so he can hunt for rebounds

He's like that guy you play in 2K MyPark that only does what he can do to max his stats out

Just played around with some numbers here
The main thing you want to focus at is the Points Per 36 and Assists Per 36, based on a 30% usage percentage

Dude, stop. Marcus smart isn't negatively influenced, he's just actually bad at basketball

As far as Giannis, the board still likes him

You're on an island here
first off i'm not
second you're absolutely ridiculous if you think he is "actually bad at basketball"

One of the best perimeter defenders in the league
Very good passer
Defensively versatile positionally
50% corner 3pt shooter

His downsides that he presents is his unreliable shooting, and his propensity to flop to not get calls. But he still leads the league in charges drawn I believe

He's not a good shooter. I get it. Everybody does. That's his only downside. I'm not calling him an All Star, or even a starter. But to call him a bad basketball player is CLEARLY you not watching the games and just looking at stat lines. You wanna know why the team has a better +/- with him on the court, even when he shoots 3/11 from the field? Because he makes winning plays, and makes the team better even without shooting.

Bad at basketball is obviously a joke but i know I'm not alone in saying I wouldn't want him on my team

Smart would be a great role player for a contender if he knew his role, and played to his strengths.
