KG is more athletic, can penetrate, fade away has more handles then Duncan..defensively they are both good but i think KG is just better than Duncan.

Deron Williams is a better pure point guard. He does a better job creating for his teammates and is a far better defensive player. I'd take his quiet leadership over Paul's, too. Paul just has the scoring aspect going for him. His assist statistical advantage comes because Paul dominates his teams offense. It either goes through him or it doesn't happen.

Steve Nash is great but doesnt play Defense..i dont think he even knows what that means. His offensive game is great and he can dish out wit hthe best of them..but cant Baron, Deron, Paul, Billups, Parker do that and play defense also?

Nash is overrated often. 13 isn't a terrible ranking for him though. In terms of being a pure offensive player, there isn't a better one in the NBA. My own questions include defense, but mostly come from his weak leadership in the playoffs.

You're right..but if they were to switch teams(Paul in Utah and Deron in NO) do you think they would still have the same effect as they do now?

He still managed to do the same things playing in 51 games..25 PPG 4 RPG 7 APG, its just because his team didnt play as well i think thats why he was not looked at as much.

Dwyane Wade is one of the most overrated players in the NBA. He put up one good run in the playoffs and because of that shot up everyones list. He has shown very little in this league.
