Revising my list:

1) Curry
2) CP3
3) Westbrook
4) Wall
5) Irving

Irving's leap this season certainly cannot be ignored- I would put him over Wall as I think Kyrie is more versatile- but there are certainly good arguments to be made for Wall. I think those top 5 would represent a pretty solid consensus from most NBA fans though. I think that top 5 would be most peoples top 5.

The reason I put Wall over Irving is because Wall is a very good defender. He doesn't shoot the ball nearly as well as Irving, but I think Wall is a superior distributor. I think those two could easily be flip flopped based on whatever you value more from a PG.

CP3 over Westbrook? No way in hell.
I think there's a solid argument either way, but I prefer CP3 for two reason:

1) CP3 can generate his own offense but more importantly creates for others. He has a good feel for the game and figures out what needs to happen in order for the team to run. If he needs to try and score, he's capable of that. I hate watching him play, but you can't deny his results.

2) CP3 is one of the top 5 on-ball defenders in the NBA. He may get away with a ton of holding and grabbing, but if the refs give it to him that's part of who he is.

No denying Westbrook is the most dynamic player in the NBA aside from Lebron and Curry. I just think on a nightly basis, you can rely on CP3 to find a way to win in multiple fashions, more so than Westbrook.

I dont think you could go wrong in the top 3. I think for Clippers, CP3 is a better fit. I think with Durant in OKC, CP3 would still be a better fit over WB (without Durant, Ill take WB)

If Im Golden State, I would also take WB over CP3. It all depends on the system imo

1. Curry

2. CP3

3. Westbrook

4. Kyrie

5. Wall

Honestly, CP3 and Wall are the only real pg's on this list. The other 3 are short Sg's/combo guards with slick handles.
