Here's my two cents: Paul is better than Williams right now, but I don't care. The Jazz did not blow it by drafting Williams. It's not like Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan. As far as supporting casts, Hornets had 2 all stars, the Jazz 1. Jazz bench is better, but it is a lame argument to say that Paul has no supporting cast.

West would evaporate into nothingness without Paul.

That means nothing to me. Like I said, Paul is better, but I have no regrets at all with williams.

I had hoped Atlanta would have taken Paul at #2 so the Jazz didn't have a choice, and this discussion would be moot. I'd bet Atlanta wishes they would have taken Paul too...

Isn't this like arguing who's better Jeff Hornacek or Michael Jordan?

It is not remotely similar to that. I thought you were some kind of basketball expert?

no.

The fact that people got offended and snarky at my question says it all. Clearly they didn't think I was analogizing Jordan to Williams. I wonder why. Game Waters.

The reason your argument is not good (i.e. stupid) is that Tony Parker is exactly that: a scoring point guard. He's definitely not a passing point guard. And I think Tony has a ring or two.

I have to admit that as I have looked more closely at the stats and compare the two teams, these two guys really are apples to apples and Paul is better. I will also take back the comparison I made to Arena and others. I think Tony Parker/Tim Duncan are comparable to Paul/West.

See Waters, some people can admit it when they are wrong.
