Why are we comparing an injured Derrick Rose vs a healthy John Wall? This is the dumbest comparison.

How about putting Stephen Curry, Derrick Rose (healthy) >>>>>> John, Wall, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook

Rose is hurt so AS-OF-THIS-MINUTE, yes. Wall >> Rose.

I like Wall and all but i think everyone would take a healthy Rose over Wall

what is a healthy Rose though?

I mean Wall is getting better and better... his biggest weakness is shot selection and that's a coaching gaffe that has Wittman telling Wall to take 20 foot two pointers just cause he's open.

I'm talking 2009/2010/2011 Rose when i say Healthy. Perhaps we will never see that Rose again but still just saying when Rose was balling he was better than Wall is right now

At their peaks you can't really take neither over the other.

Rose at his peak is an absolutely unstoppable scorer that just has jaw-dropping moves, one of the best scoring point guards of all time, and he can manage the game well.

Wall is a better point guard, he has great court vision and distributes the ball better than pretty much any point guard in the league. He's a better plug in and play player for any team needing a point guard, but he's not the scorer Rose is. As far as taking games over he just doesn't do it like Rose did, not to say Wall isn't capable though.

Defense is negligible in this conversation as I always say in conversations about point guards, though Wall is big enough to guard 2's, he generally doesn't. Rose has never been a liability on defense and that's all that really matters when it comes to point guard defense.

Rose may never be the player he was before the injuries.

John Wall will also never be the player Rose was before his injuries.

But at this moment, yes, John Wall is better than a diminished Rose. Not sure this needed a thread.
