Oh and I'll be honest...

If I wasn't watching a Spurs game, I would have sworn Timmy retired.

Luol Deng was +33 tonight. He is good.

Also Rip Hamilton was made of glass. What a bad signing that was.

Love is the best PF in the game.

Love might just play his way onto the US Olympic team. Dude can stroke it. Trying to whittle it down to 12 guys is a fun exercise.

Derrick Williams is starting to step his game up for Minnesota. Better than 14 and 6 over the last 6 games. Too bad for them they don't have a 1st round pick this year, especially with a potentially really deep draft class, because they're a team on the rise.

It's been a rough few years since Garnett left for them, especially with Kahn's strategy in the draft. But, they're definitely trending upwards. Kevin Love is playing out of his mind right now.

I mean they should be. How many top draft picks do they have on their team"?

ON NBA Today podcast they were debating top 10 PGs in the Association.

1. Deron Williams
2. CP3
3. Rose
4. Russel Westbrook
- I'd say that's the consensus top 4 PGs but could be reorder in which ever way you like. From there on it gets tougher IMO.

5. I'd put Rondo here but I could easily put Nash.
6. Nash
7. Mike Conley
8. Irving - Homer pick but I dont give a shit. Dude's legit and will only move up this list.
9. Calderon Having a really great under the radar season. His TO to AST ratio is ridiculous.
10. Tony Parker (hate the guy, hate his game, but he's having a great season right now)

I think it surprising some of guys left out. Rubio (doesn't score enough consistently and is a defensive liability). John Wall who doesn't elevate the players around him, lacks leadership. Brandon Jennings shoots horrible percentages, and doesn't provide the AST numbers (Tony Parker syndrome and his ast/to ratio is pretty horrible).

What are your thoughts? How would you rank them?

So hard to order best PGs, but I would agree w/ Deron at #1.

IMO you have to switch those 3. If we are talking right now Parker's all around #'s are just much better than Conley's and Calderon.

I would put Parker at 7, Conley at 9 and Calderon at 10. Leave the rest.

Id put Rondo above Westbrook. And slide John Wall into the top 10, hes better than 8-10 on that list IMO

Rubio is not a defensive liability. This has been discussed before. He plays 10 times more defense than Calderon has ever considered playing.

1) DWill
2) Cp3
3) Rose
4) Westbrook
5) Rondo
6) Parker
7) Lowry
8) Nash
9) Irving
10) Curry

Just missing: Conley, Wall, Evans, Lawson, Rubio
