I have to start who I think has the most talent though, and that would be AI.

CP3 is the best defensive player (arguably over Isaiah) and the best shooter. Isaiah and CP3 both great facilitators. Easy decision for the start but not easy for the cut

Start Thomas

Bench CP3

Cut AI


Thomas is a proven leader with playoff success and a Finals MVP.

Gotta bench CP3 because he's the only NBAer to get bounced outta the playoffs four times after his teams had a 2-0 lead.

I'd rather bench AI but as tlance said he ain't coming off the bench. So he gone!

Bench AI
Cut CP3

Thomas and CP3 are kind of replicas so I would go with AI as a change of pace threat. This is without knowing the rest of the roster. Could be different depending on supporting cast though.

I don't think this is a case of "would he be ok coming off the bench"

This is really just rating them 1-3

Playoff success is more about the team. Leader, sure you have a point but if you don’t have the supporting cast, the right system/coach it doesn’t matter as much. I dont have an issue with Thomas or CP3. Their playoff stats are basically identical expect CP3 is much more efficient. Coach and teammates matter when you get to the playoffs. Like I said, both great players…can’t go wrong with either.

Obviously it depends on who else is on the roster, but assuming I have other good players, I definitely want the truest PG, which is CP3.

And AI is a distant 3rd in that respect.

I just think the other 2 are much easier to play with and build around.

Depends what you need on a team. If you need a scorer you go for AI

If you already have a scorer on your team, Isiah and CP3 are the guys to go for.

I think it is more than that though.

Isaiah and CP can both score too, and more efficiently.

No, they aren’t getting 30 a night, but you have to be really smart about who you pair with AI.

His best Philly teams had 4 other starters who were defense first.

Isiah and CP3 would be the better pieces on a super team. AI of the 3 would be most capable to score the load needed. Although Thomas has also done that.

But again assuming superteam or even one with major playoff success I go

Thomas
Paul
Iverson
