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.

I agree, that's my analysis

Who knows? I'm really just saying that Wall is THE prototypical point guard.

Rose at his peak is one of the greatest scorers I've ever witnessed, and his impact on games with that scoring can't be matched by Wall. I'm being a little modest here though trying not to be a Rose stan. :mjlol:

Wall is better now. Not better than a healthy Rose from a few years back.

I'm still disappointed in Wall's scoring abilities. I thought he'd average 22/10 once he found his footing in the league.
Why does he need to score more when he's surrounded by capable shooters (6th in the entire league in FG%) and they have the 2nd best record in the conference?
