My list goes like this:
Paul (head and shoulders above all)
Rose (when healthy - not sure what he'll look like post-injury)
Rondo (again, when healthy - if he spends his rehab working on that jumper, he could possibly move up)
Westbrook (I hate this guy a lot, but I cannot deny his elite scoring prowess; just a freak of nature)
Parker (the MVP this year; San Antonio is going to struggle with him out for a month)
Curry (just keeps improving; one of the main reasons for Golden State's emergence)
Irving (just an incredible talent; hopefully he can get some help in Cleveland)
Holiday (love this guy's game; unfortunate Bynum is out, because I thought those two would be great)
Lillard (has taken the league by storm with his brilliance and maturity beyond his years)
Williams (has really disappointed me this year, but is still capable of being a force)
I agree. That's the first-tier of PGs in this league.
The scariest part? The second tier.
Conley - panning out lottery pick, totally a top second-tier player
Lawson - same as Conley. really good player as well, who is a top second-tier PG
Calderon - might have gotten a little worse, but one of the purest shooters out there (50-40-90), can get 15-15 games easily, as well as 3Ds
Vasquez - MIP candidate, he's led his team in assists for all 60 games this season. All sixty.
Dragic - was supposed to come out this year, with Nash gone, but idk what happened
Hill - a solid starting PG for Pacers, not bad.
Lin - has been playing well, now that he's out of the spotlight
Nash - could be better I suppose, but not bad either
Rubio - up-and-coming PG in this league, but his team sucks
Teague - also a great player on the Hawks, Jeff is good at what he does, a good third-option
Thomas - Isaiah could be better too if he weren't stuck in SAC, let's see where he is in a few years
Wall - amazing player, deserved first pick, starting to pan out more now: good player to build around, great leader for Wiz w/Beal
(and maybe Miller - idk really)
Could Chalmers be argued? sure, why not
Those are still great players.
The PG position, without question, is the most talent-filled spot in the league right now.
And that's because PG is the shortest position. The taller the height, the less people with that height. More people = more potential for talent.
Off topic, but there was a time, fairly recently, when power forward was far and away the most talented position in the league, IMO.
Look at the landscape of power forwards one decade ago in 2002-2003.
Duncan, KG, and Dirk were in their primes and establishing themselves as all-time greats.
Jermaine O'Neal, Chris Webber, Antawn Jamison, Karl Malone, and Antoine Walker all averaged 20+ PPG. Add in Rasheed Wallace, Pau Gasol, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Kenyon Martin, Juwan Howard, P.J. Brown, Kurt Thomas, Troy Murphy, Brian Grant, Shawn Marion (or Amar'e if you consider Marion a SF playing out of position), and an emerging Carlos Boozer.
That's a pretty impressive list, with arguably 3 of the top 5 players of that era (alongside Kobe and Shaq).
