    AD gets the edge over Steph b/c its more sustainable. Best PG change damn near every year. And being a guard, Steph is always 1 bad shooting game away from comin down to earth a lil bit

    AD on the other hand, he's gonna be abe to roll outta bed and get 20, 10, and 4blocks for the next ten years. Thats mandatory...minimum.

    But with the work he seems to be puttin in along with his ability at that size (remember he was a 6ft guard until his jumior/senior year in HS) he's legit gon have a 25, 15, and 5 year(s). He's insane.

    First off, it's way to soon to rank newer players, when there's 65+games left in the season. Most player's stats will noticeably change over the season, and these new guys aren't proven products.

    Second, Lol @ Anthony Davis being one of the best when he has had plenty of help and hasn't done ? with it. Y'all did the same thing with Love and now look at his stats (which will get worse as the season continues), now that he's on a contender.

    ... Between Curry and Anthony Davis, Curry's led his team to a 12-2 record so far. Davis's equally talented team, if not more talented team is 7-6. They both have suspect coaching. Stop living in the moment and present a real argument.

    I gotta see Davis do it in the playoffs. It's one thing to drop 30-15-4 in meaningless games against bad teams, it's an entirely different deal to get your numbers against strong teams that are playing with urgency.

    I said no excuses this year Davis needs to impose his will and get NO over the ? into the playoffs, he's got help on the front line and a talented enough squad to do it, it's still early but I expected more early on from NO, I think stats don't show how valuable Marc Gasol is and he deserves a mention, Harden been impressive on De for the most part he deserves a mention, LA deserves a mention, people love to talk about how great Tony Parker is "during the playoffs" but never mention him when he's not flooding the stat sheet during the regular season, it's not a clear cut winner

    he has a defensive edge and thats it, curry much better shooter, much smarter offensively at times and better and slightly more willing playmaker. rebounding a wash.

    but dont get me wrong, when russell is on point he a beast

    Its great to see Curry emerge as a star. Coming out of college many "experts" and fans alike thought he wasn't going to make it.

    Too skinny, not hyper athletic like his peers and believing he'll only be a spot up shooter.

    he completely proved everybody wrong plus he got over those injuries.

    We already know AD is beast and will only get better. You can't go wrong with either one

    AD is an animal.

    Problem is Monty Williams is a ? ? .

    I hate saying that about a Black coach but its true.

    His offensive sets are horrible and the don't run the office through AD.

    N.O. got good enough personnel to get in the playoffs as a lower 6-8 seed in the West but unfortunately Monty is coaching them.
