I thought Ricky at 12 was fair. Connelly is certainly well thought of. Marcus Smart is not!

I may be in the minority here, but I take Westbrook over CP3 and Curry.
I've moved far along from the CP3 is the best point guard in the league deal.
I have always thought Conley was a good PG, glad he got recognition here. I'm actually surprised to see that someone outside of MN placed Rubio where he is at 12.

I think 12 seems generous to me but man ranking these guys wouldn't be easy neither at the top, next tier, middle or bottom.

Agree, 12 seems fair. I'd rank his defense higher though.

I'd put his defense ahead of Teague to make it at 9, maybe hill to put him at 8 for defense. No higher though.

I'm also not sure Kemba Walker and George Hill deserve to be ranked ahead of Rubio for leadership ranking either. Rose being at 9/10 is faulty as well, how can a guy be a leader when he has been on the bench for nearly 3 years..
I loved Rose as a player, he was my favorite player in the league when he was healthy. He hasn't been though. I think it'd be fair to keep him off this list for now.

it's not like Ricky hasn't missed his own share of time during that period. And continues too.

To be fair, they put Marcus Smart ahead of Elfrid Payton. Payton's had a much better rookie season.

I wonder why Ty Lawson is so far down. He's having a pretty good season. I would take him over Rubio in a heartbeat
