explain what makes D rose BETTER than chris paul?
Paul is a better passer,shooter,turns the ball over less than any pg in the nba,better defender,better ft shooter,better 3 point shooter,more clutch,has led the league in assists multiple times while rose hasn't done it Once
Explain how rose is better than the best pg in the nba who been doin it before rose came in the league
Miss me wit that corny ass he won mvp bs and bring some substance
1.Paul
2.D will
3.Rondo
4.Nash
5.Westbrook
All better Point guards than rose
westbrook and rose are similar players but westbrook does everything rose does just as good if not better
Westbrook is a better defender,scorer,rebounder and they are both have average pg skills
Rose (Defense '10/11 - best of the last two seasons/due to this season being a sample size e.g. Off-screen - 0.36 PPP):
Overall - 0.77 PPP allowed
Isolation - 0.61 PPP allowed
P&R Ball Handler - 0.73 PPP allowed
Off-screen - 0.80 PPP allowed
Spot up - 0.92 PPP allowed
Westbrook (Defense '11/12 - best of the last two seasons):
Overall - 0.88 PPP allowed
Isolation - 0.83 PPP allowed
P&R Ball Handler - 0.85 PPP allowed
Off-screen - 0.98 PPP allowed
Spot up - 0.99 PPP allowed
"Rose has allowed just 0.77 points per possession overall on defense this season, an elite mark for any defender, regardless of position. Chris Paul (0.86 points per possession allowed), Rajon Rondo (0.83 PPP allowed), and Russell Westbrook (0.92 PPP allowed) - all excellent defenders - have been trumped statistically this year, and by no slim margin. Rose has each of those players handily beat, and boasts a shockingly comprehensive defensive profile. Rose is particularly effective in defending isolation sequences, where he allows just 0.61 points per possession."
Rose had more blocks than Lebron last season + 1st overall blocks for a PG (21 more than 2nd place) + 2nd overall perimeter blocks for a guard (3rd overall blocks).
Said statistics are certainly not the be-all and end-all to thee argument, as it doesn't weigh in eye-tests; team-defense/help-defense influence; opponent-matchups; weight of offensive-load; defensive-intangibles - but it gives you a general perspective of where they both sit, in terms of defensive ability/efficiency.
Rose -
08-09 season: 3-9 ft (45%); 10-15 ft (41%); 16-3point (44%)
09-10 season: 3-9 ft (53%); 10-15 ft (47%); 16-3point (44%)
10-11 season: 3-9 ft (36%); 10-15 ft (42%); 16-3point (40%)
Westbrook -
08-09 season: 3-9 ft (32%); 10-15 ft (36%); 16-3point (37%)
09-10 season: 3-9 ft (36%); 10-15 ft (35%); 16-3point (38%)
10-11 season: 3-9 ft (31%); 10-15 ft (35%); 16-3point (37%)
And Rose's numbers are even more impressive, in comparison to Westbrook's, considering he has been the sole/dominant focus of defenses for the majority of his career.
they wouldnt even be a playoff contender without rondo.
rondo is the best pg in the league. his bball iq, plus d, plus his passing ability... and hes been hittin his J, this past yr.. i wish lawson was as good, and im a nuggets fan...
So having a 8-5 record without rondo makes them a playoff team, they would have never made it past the hawks without him8-5 w/o rondo. you sure u don't wanna take back this stupid statement?
Ty Lawson will be in the top 5 within 2 years.
Word? Where does he fit in among Rose, CP3, Dwill, Rondo, Westbrook, Irving, Parker?
