Anyone saying D-Will isn't a top 5 point guard is straight looney-tunes and didn't even watch the Nets play last season.

Deron doesn't shoot the ball as much as either guy (which is why his scoring numbers are slightly lower) and he's a far superior playmaker to both. Curry is a joke on the defensive side of the ball, Kyrie is as well to a lesser extent. Kyrie also needs to get his assist turnover ratio over 2 before I even call him a point guard. People complain about Westbrook, but Irving so far plays like a 2 more than any other star PG in the league.

Lowry did little outside the first 3 games to convince me he cracks the top 20 PG's in the NBA, but then this is a "projection" article right, so, it means that it really means....nothing.
Its assuming Lowry wants a better contract, therefore he wont be fat, and he will have learned how to be a leader, a positive influence, and an actual point guard with smarts...big ifs there if you ask me.
As for Parker not on th list....I suppose they are assuming he is moving right from amazing to Alzheimer's over the Summer....I can't think of any other reason to leave a guy like that off.

This list is crazy. If you think of it in the simplest terms (who would I replace Lowry with?) -- Jrue Holiday would have to be in the top 10
1. Paul
2. Rose
3. Westbrook (I wouldn't rank him so high but after seeing OKC crumble without him - he's a game changer)
4. Irving
5. Curry
6. Holiday
7. Parker
8. Williams
9. Rondo (best playmaker behind Paul)
10. Rubio (dat potential)
11. Wall
12. Lawson
13. Conley
14. Lillard
15. Lowry
16. Nash (a 2 time MVP who can still average .500 .400 and .900 doesn't just fall off the list)
17. Teague (underrated)
18. Jennings
19. Walker (probably could be higher but in a bad situation)
20. Ellis
21. Bledsoe
22. Hill
23. Nelson
24. Calderon
25. (mo) WilliamsLast edited by connected; Mon Jul 29, 2013, 10:45 PM.

Outsiders keep giving props to our players, like the US team selecting DD for their select team, ESPN projecting Lowry as a top 10 PG, JV being given the Summer League MVP, Rudy being categorized having way more value than just expiring contracts and here we are, actual fans of the team, saying that no chance Lowry is a Top 10 PG, Rudy and DD have no trade value and JV, well, he's the only who hasnt gotten the ire of the fans yet.
Is this really "Raptors" republic??
Weird.

Lots disagree, but I think where Rose is is pretty spot on. This is 2013-14 we're talking about, not the future. You seriously can't expect him to be MVP-calibre after taking a whole year off of pro basketball.Twitter - @thekid_it
