Conley's the 7th/8th best pg in the league while Rose isn't anywhere near the top 10 right now. Also as @holidayinn21 mentioned this'll be the first year that Conley will be playing in a system that caters to his strengths. It's kind of amazing really that he's been as successful as he has playing in such an unfriendly PG system.

I get that that huge contract has made Mike the target of jokes and criticism but he's easily a max level player and a championship level point guard. Yeah he's never made an All Star team but when you're in the same conference as Curry, Westbrook, Paul and Lillard it's kind of hard to find a spot. Conley's either beaten or gone toe to toe with all those guys in the playoffs so let's not act like he doesn't have All Star level ability.

He's been better than Rose since 2013 and would've made the All Star team over him a few times now if he was in the East.

I will go with conley off of the strength of believing that coach Fizdale will bring a different type of offense that will allow Conley to look for his shot more.

Conley is talented and this will be his first time being featured he won't be an all star but that's because he's contending with Curry/Paul/Dame/Harden/Russell/Bledsoe who will be playing PG in the West as well.

And let's just be honest no way in hell he beats out Steph/Paul/Dame/Harden/Klay for all star spots.

I got in no order

Bulls
Cavs
Boston
Hornets
Toronto
Detroit
Pacers
Hawks

Then you have teams like the bucks wiz heat who in also think will be better

But I could be wrong and rose and Noah could show us something we've haven't seen in four years. Hornecek could prove that his 32-118 record is a mulligan, and the bench lead by Sasha vujachic and Kyle oquin could be x factors.

But I doubt it


In order you mean you really have the Bulls over the Cavs

Hornets over the Raptors.

And the Hawks barely making the playoffs

Wow you are the WOAT

Conley was memphis best player last year. Hes for sure better than Rose. Tho I think Conley will decline a bit.
Neither is making the playoffs

:dead:

God you poor Hawks fans are so delusional. :mjcry:

The Bucks aren't better than the Knicks and how the hell will the Heat be better when they lost their 2 best players?:dead:

And the Knicks bench is not led by Sasha Vujacic and Kyle O'Quinn the hell are you talking about? :deadrose: I guess the Hawks bench led by Tim Hardaway Jr. And Thabo Sefolisha is much better then?:russ:

So based off 6 preseason games and years of missing the playoffs you believe the knicks are better....because you say so :ohhh:


Jeff hornecek was really the missing piece :ohhh:
