You know how you talk about a PG is supposed to make plays, score, get the assist, and run the floor? Well guess what? That's what the Player Efficiency Rating (PER) takes into account among other things. Guess who had a higher PER than Rose? Westbrook. ;) Chew on that...

Rose went #1 overall. Rose won the ROY. Rose has an MVP.
Too big, too strong...

rose is the best pg in the leauge

You saw what Mr. MVP did in the playoffs. We all know the MVP was Durant or Lebron last year. DRose is a good player, but when your PER is lower than Westbrooks, you are absolutely not the best PG....

Rose has a lower PER than Westbrook?

In his MVP season he did...have not looked this year. Just looked Rose is better this year. Westbrook over the last 12 games though has been absolutely outstanding and has been better than Rose over the last 12 games he has played in PER.

Not that Im saying I would take Westbrook over rose or that he is better, BUT they are about the same player in my opinion. Westbrook has higher FG% and FT% normally and they both shoot about the same from 3. Both are score first PG's and Rose for his career gets about 1 assist more than Westbrook per game. They are both freakishly athletic and both struggled in the playoffs at times last season. There are so many parallels between them it's unreal. The fact is, the hype machine was higher on Rose coming in the league because he was the number 1 pick...therefore he has been anointed as a better player then he actually is. He is a heck of a player, but not the best player or PG in the league.

If I had my choice I'm taking Chris Paul and wouldn't even think twice about it. I was hoping OKC would trade RW for CP3 in the offseason as I think KD and CP3 would bring home a championship. I think OKC still could win this season, but it will be tougher...especially with Eric Maynor done for the season.

1. CP3
2. Steve Nash
3. Rajon Rondo
4. Russell Westbrook
5. Jeff Teague
6. Brandon Jennings
7. Deron Williams
8. Kyle Lowry
9. D.J. Augustin
10. John Wall

haha you can't make it so obvious that your bias to Atlanta, coach If you want to try to sneak Teague in there you can't put him about K. Lowry, D. Williams, and J. Wall or people will tear you up.

His list is so bad you might as well not even comment on it.....I mean I thought about it, then realized he didn't have DRose listed and just realized it wouldn't be worth saying anything to that display of ignorance.

Dont forget that Rose plays for a big market team, so the # of homer fans is like triple what other guards are. If the Knicks had even a decent PG the weight of homer Knicks fans would be felt in this discussion. Drose is the best SG playing PG in the game right now, and Westbrook is 2nd.

Agree with your point. However, neither are good 2 guards either because they can't shoot! haha
