Lillard.

He's the new CP3.

**R-Star** · 11-19-2012, 10:43 AM

There's definitely a chance.

John Wall.

He plays nothing like CP3. Lillard is a quick striker and more explosive. Cp3 is a lot more methodical.

Im actually diagusted that rubio was in the poll and not brandon jennings ( not that i think either will be close to the best pg 5 years from now) as for the question at hand i think there is a very good chance its still chris paul

**Diable** · 11-19-2012, 11:35 AM

I am pretty amazed that Wall is not better tbh. The guy was one of the most hyped players ever, been hearing about him like he was a lock HOF player since he was in grade school. He has all of the physical tools, but he just hasn't shown me that he can be a great player so far. He has a ton of holes in his game at this point.

**Bogg** · 11-19-2012, 11:38 AM

Coaching and teammates make a huge difference. Have Wall get swapped to the Celtics on draft night for Rondo; and learning from Doc, KG, and Pierce probably has him a perennial all-star already. Hell, Andray Blatche has turned into a valuable backup center just by getting out of Washington and onto a team stocked purely with vets and blue-collar types.

**Dre** · 11-19-2012, 11:46 AM

Jennings doesn't belong on the poll. Rubio is a next level passer which makes him worthy of discussion seeing as how thats primarily what PGs do

**Dre** · 11-19-2012, 11:47 AM

And like its been said Wall hasn't been bred in the right situation either. They finally have semblance of something especially if Nene can give them 3 healthy years which is a big if

That's when Nash won his 2nd MVP.

But I doubt CP3 will have his prime in his 30's like Nash did. Seems like CP3 his at his best right now.

I picked Damion Lill...He's having one hell of a rookie season so far, better than Irving. and is such a nice shooter.

Derrick Rose

I felt like CP3 was better at penetrating and was more explosive when he was younger and that he has slown down due to injuries.

Either way, I see him as a CP3 2.0 as in he is a legit pass first PG but is a legit offensive threat as well so you have to respect his O and not just look to kill the pass.

Where as I see Rose and Kyrie more as a score first PG, although they dish out very well as well. Just not like CP3.

**E.H. Munro** · 11-19-2012, 02:12 PM

I think Kyrie is a great passing guard. Only the Cadavaliers are short of guys for him to pass it to.

e-monk · 11-19-2012, 02:40 PM

Lillard has looked really good the couple of times Ive seen him so far, he gets my vote

**R-Star** · 11-19-2012, 02:42 PM

I like Kyrie, but Rose, Paul, Westbrook and Rondo could still be doing their thing in 5 years.

I didn't go with Wall. I think the guy has done too little, and I don't like when people just point the finger at the system a player is in all the time.
