Third worst...... Irving has a better defensive rating than Westbrook and Parker. Wait, Gary Neal and De Colo are NBA players right?
I realize that, but if you're going to do that, then you should specify.
I agree, for this season, Nash is definitely not top ten, but Lowry is. He get's a bad rep, but I haven't seen him pouting since he lost his starting job and this idea that he's a stat hog is foolish. On a team that's not exactly overflowing with primary scoring options, his usage % is only 23.7 (which is barely 3rd on the team, despite the fact that he's by far their best scorer). As far as him being a coach killer and not really helping teams win, the jury is still out. But it's not as if he's played on great teams.

ADMITTING DEFEAT? u lack hatred
Tony is certainly in the top 3. While standings and how great a pg are not mutually exclusive, they are seemingly pretty close. If the criteria is success, which surely should play a part, then TP should be near the top. I'm loving Tony's energy this year. If he can keeps this up, and the other guys can keep up, we have basketball into the summer.
Why the sudden change of heart on Lowry? He was clearly (and still is clearly better than Calderon) the best PG on his team until he got injured. Then because Bargnani got hurt at the same time and Calderon got to play with a more talented front court they started losing at a lesser pace so the coach kept Lowry in a bench role.
If you have watched them play, Lowry has done a great job of not complaining, playing hard in his back up role and actually has become a more patient player looking to set others up. His percentages have actually gone up as well: Over the last 30 days he's putting up:
23MPG: 12/3/6 with 2 3's and 1.5 steals on 47% FG & 85% FT. That's compared to a career FG% of 42%. He's not stat hogging at all tbh..
He has a PER 22.39 (which is 13th in the league), has a win share/48 number of .203 (which is incredibly good - Tim Duncan has .206), and his team scores 3 points more per 100 possessions with him on the court and he's a better defender.
You should read this: http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-tr...-jose-calderon
Just find it odd that before the injury when discussing Lowry putting a hurt on TP possibly he was a "damn near all-star player", then because he got injured for a little while he all of the sudden is worse than Calderon?

calderon is overrated man, dude is only interested in keeping up his efficiency bull low stats crap...
Dude is nice is . He can ball but not nearly as good as Parker. He is a top 10 imo
Generally a fantastic website, but it seems like they let 20 somethings with opinions write occasionally.Bleacher Report
Tony is for sure top 3, but its Bleacherreport. What do you expect? My dog could write for that .
Lol Rubio.
I also agree. I say he's better than Westbrook. If Derrick Rose were healthy, maybe he would be ahead of Parker but Parker probably has the best FG% than any of them. Without Parker we would be suckin big time, no disrespect to Duncan.
LMAO Rose? that dude hasnt played in a year
and TP over Brick anyday
not only is Parker #2 best PGs he should be #4 in MVP race
frenchman gets no respect. Hopefully he read this today and will go Holy Motors on mofos

Paul was playing injured, to be fair
That's good. Parker needs to play with a chip on his shoulder. He's had too many no shows in big moments.
I don't think Parker give a about this thing anymore, he only wants to add his ring count, as much as he can, practically being the MJ of france bball.
Which of those would make the Spurs better if they swapped out with Parker? Only Paul and a healthy Rose.
Get the sentiment, but I doubt T.P is roaming the net for the B.R top 10 PG's list they seem to do every other week.
Didn't do the research on all PGs. But this list makes much more sense.
No Gary Neal? Neal will take 14 shots in 19 minutes to cool off.
Paul was hurt. That has to be considered.
Kyrie is an incredible player, with MVP potential. This is probably the last year he isn't at the top of that list. In fact, there isn't a PG in the league I wouldn't trade him straight up for RIGHT NOW.
Alot of Spurs fans won't consider such trivialities. People still claim Parker is better than Paul because 3 rings > 0 forgetting that Paul has been the best player on his team every year and Parker has had Manu and Duncan to team up with.
As for the topic here, I think TP is definitely number 2 this year over Westbrook. Westbrook may have more explosive numbers but I think Westbrook hurts his team alot by jacking up shots because he's a volume shooter while Parker is much more under control and not hyperventilating over the idea of not getting his 25 shots up.
per 36 minutes:
Parker : 22/8, 52 FG% 40 3P%
Westbrook: 23/8, 42 FG%, 33 3P%
I take Parker numbers any day.
I'm not buying what you're selling.
1) Hes putting up great stats on a very poor team.
2) He makes Steve Nash look like DPOY material
Cleveland isn't 'very poor'. Their record is bad, but they are a rebuilding team who everyone knew was gonna suck this season, and their two best players Kyrie and Andy have missed double-digit games. If anything, they should probably be worse. Keep in mind LBJ also missed the playoffs his first two years in Cleveland and his teams were atrocious, but he turned out to be a decent player.
