Who would you rather have?

IMO, I would rather take Felton. Chris Paul is a great scorer, but he gets lit up in college, what's going to happen in the NBA? Felton can play a little too erratic sometimes, but once he gets over that he can be an all-star. JMO.

 

[MAS RipCity]

I don't know who I would rather have. Right now, I don't see either has being superstar potential, maybe a few All-Star games though. Neither strikes me as being that great of a defender. Paul has the better court vision while Felton is the more versitle scorer. It depends on your team need. If you want a distributer, go with Paul. If you need more scoring from your backcourt, you should take Felton. Felton's erratic play scares me a lot though. He is too inconsistent right now. Both players need some work on their game, but if someone had a gun to my head and made me choose; I'd pick Chris Paul for the simple fact he has a better chance to be a superstar.

 

[ATLien]

I think it's vice versa. Paul is the better scorer, and Felton is the better distributor.

 

[futuristxen]

I think it's vice versa. Paul is the better scorer, and Felton is the better distributor.

Ha. Yeah. That's what I thought.
For me personally, I like Felton more. He's been one of my favorite college players for awhile. I think he is a pure point guard. I think he can be a Jamal Tinsley type.

Except Tinsley was a late first rounder, and Felton is a legit top five prospect. I think Felton can be a much better scorer than Tinsley, it's just that he isn't asked to score since UNC already has McCants and May.

Maybe Deron Williams deserves mention after tonight

 

[bigbabyjesus]

I've said this before and I'll say it again, Raymond Felton was the better college player, and is the better pro prospect.

Both are undersized, but Felton has the passing ability and court vision which will make it easier for him in the NBA, while Pauls passing and court vision is not that great, but is a good scorer.

You also have to mention Jarrett Jack, as well as a guy like Deron Williams with these two.

I think I mainly was just latching onto Felton's savy on the floor. He's obviously quicker and a better scorer than Tinsley coming out. The main point to stress is that Felton will be a helluva floor general. He will run the team good for you.

 

[Rizzah]

I'm a little biased, but I'd take Deron Williams over them both, honestly. He's a better passer than them both and while he's obviously not as fast, he's much bigger. From what I've seen of Wake Forest, Paul looks to be corrupted by the fact that Wake often just devolves into a "Let the PG take all the shots" offense and may turn out to be like Stephon Marbury. Deron reminds me of Jason Kidd with a better jumper.

 

[rebelsun]

I haven't seen them play a great deal; from what I've seen, I would take Paul because of his scoring.

Also, FWIW, Chad Ford has said on Insider repeatedly that scouts are saying that Paul is the best PG prospect since Jason Kidd.

 

[Pan Mengtu]

Felton definitely. His defense isn't atrocious and he doesn't choke in the clutch.

 

[ATLien]

Ray Felton and Deron Williams are in the Final 4, Chris Paul is at home.

HMMMMMM

 

[Darkwing Duck]

This is very important for us Jazz fans, since we REALLY need a point guard. Who would be better for them?

 

[Greg Ostertag!]

Couldn't have said it better Rizzah. Paul may turn out to be a good distributing PG in the pros for all we know, but at the moment his game is eerily reminiscent of Stephon Marbury. Deron Williams is the complete package, and if he can get himself in his better shape before hitting the L, instead of being the "best PG prospect since Jason Kidd" as Paul supposedly is, Williams may end up the next Jason Kidd.

 

[cpt.napalm]

I think that Felton has more of an upside in the NBA. Paul loks overwhelmed at times in the NCAA, he can score, but I don't think it will translate to the same level in the NBA. He would be a solid player just not a superstar. Felton could be something special.

 

[VincentVega]

Felton all day, every day and twice on Sunday.

 

[J Pops]

id take paul however he is skinny and just about 6 foot but the kid is a all american displaying shooting ability and just knmows how to get it done by scoring or passing. the best thing about the kid is that he is quick, compared as a slightly taller tj ford with a shot, i can see him as a top five pick but definitly not falling past the lottery.

 

[Matthew Maurer]

I honestly think Chris Paul is very overrated he does everything well but he's not a standout in any one area.

 

[max powers]

Chris Paul is the best ACC point guard since Kenny Anderson,
and, like Anderson, will most likely be a huge disapppointment in the pros. Paul was better in college Felton will be better in the NBA. (I know Paul has a much better shot than Anderson ever did but they are similar in many ways: lightening quick but small and weak, lots of steals but terrible defense in terms preventing drives, sulky attitude.)

 

[SeaNet]

Deron Williams.
