Why Kemba over Dame?


Wondering this myself.

I donโ€™t remember seeing anyone put Kemba in their top 10, let alone top 5 here before lol

Westbrook
Curry
CP3
Who cares

I can't put Curry at #1 while Westbrook and Kyrie are in the league. Curry's issue is his athleticism. If he was a better athlete, I think he'd play better defense, and he'd be a lock for #1. But for me it's a pick 'em between Russ and Kyrie @ #1. Bledsoe wouldn't be on anyone's radar if he hadn't left the Suns, and Wall was a top 1-5 PG for a lot of people not too long ago. If Ben Simmons counts, I'd probably have him in my top 10 despite his shooting. I'd probably make room for Dragic. I suspect that Kemba is moving up lists because of his All-Star appearance this year. Visibility is a big deal. I don't have a 1-10 list right now, but those are my thoughts.

Just gonna say that CP3 is finally getting some respect back after being traded. He has been the most consistently high-quality guard for the last 8,000 seasons. Again, visibility is helping his ranking.

14/10 post. My post answers the mystery, and I should say that I've listed Kemba before.

Dude Curry is clearly better then Westbrook and Kyrie.

Westbrook is reckless as fuck and almost always leads the league in turnovers and hucks up shots constantly. Westbrook needs the ball in his hands and constantly padding his stats. Just like last week or the week before he was bitching at Adams for not scoring on a pass because he wanted the triple double instead of Adams throwing it out for a wide open 3. Westbrook is not an elite defender and is to busy crying to the refs half the time to even get back on defense. Kyrie is no elite defender either and doesn't shoot better then Curry. Kyrie has only hit 40% from 3 in 2 seasons and barely hit that mark.

Curry is a superior shooter and passer.

You are acting like Westbrook and Kyrie are elite defenders which neither of them are and they can't be much better then Curry.

I'll easily take Curry or CP3 before I took Westbrook or Kyrie if I needed a pg on my team.

In the playoffs, Kyrie always steps up a level. They're both more athletic than Curry and when they focus on defense, they do a much better job than he does. I'm not saying they are elite defenders, although Westbrook has an elite defensive body. Kyrie has better handles than Curry, and I feel that he's a more dynamic scorer. Westbrook does more things (overall) to help his team. Curry is the best dribbler-shotting in NBA history, and he can finish well beneath the rim, but I don't think he's a better passer than Kyrie or Russ. Curry has a lot of flash to his passing game and he makes some pretty bad plays because of it. Kyrie plays with flash, but he's less likely to screw it up. Russ plays with reckless abandon, but his stat lines are insane.

The most skilled overall PG in the league is CP3, but he's older, he's not tall, he has slowed down, and his athleticism is somewhat limited. Otherwise he would be my #1. I understand that the game is a 5v5 affair, but both Kyrie and Westbrook would punch a new one in Curry 1v1.
