I am not a fan of the dude, but at this point I have to give him props... If I had to start a team with a PG it would be him. That step back shot last night was clutch... They've had a gew tight games lately and I have watched the end of them on NBA leaguepass, dude is clutch.

I hope he does not get that last piece that he needs because it could be trouble for the heats in the future.

Because that's all that matter when comparing players...

Not at all. Just cp3 is living off taking NO to the 2nd round 4 years ago, while D Rose has been killing it every year since. Did you see what happened when they went head to head earlier this year? Rose dragged him.

If I were starting a team from scratch and had my pick of the two I'd probably take Rose. Paul would be a sentimental favorite because I grew up watching him play, but Rose is just lethal. Interesting this morning that Skip Bayless said he'd take Kyrie Irving over Rose right now. But, you know, it's Skip so whatever.

I see you are from Chicago/midwest so you have to be a bit biased but you can't truly believe Rose is a more complete PG than Paul.

Paul is a better shooter, distributor, and plays better defense. Rose is electric and finisher around the rim. He is a great penetrator as well. But there is nothing wrong with saying CP3 is a more complete PG.

To be honest, I didn't see the game.

But I have seen enough of either of them to know that CP3 is more well rounded. That doesn't take anything away from Rose.

He's a fantastic player. Chris Paul is clearly a more complete point guard, rose a better scorer. Chris should have won the MVP a few years back when Kobe did.

Yeah he just happened to have his best year during Kobe's peak years.

After a game winning shot last night, Rose is the opposite of clutch tonight. He couldn't buy a basket down the stretch during this close game. Believe he didn't score a point in the 4th from the field and missed a FT late to cut it to 3. Had a bad shooting night as well but never considered him a good shooter.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
