4th Annual SI Player Rankings: #5 PG

[jonathanlambert33]

If they don't count then what is even the point of this whole thing haha.

 
I'm just fucking around lol

Can we like all put our votes on Rubio or something and you'll now that's truly a vote for D-Rose?

[jonathanlambert33]

But my point still remains.  Rose has missed like 94% of games over the last two seasons, and when he was on the court for 10 games last season he looked absolutely horrendous.  Perhaps the worst starting PG in the league.  I fail to see how after all that, you can hypothetically imagine if he was healthy and still vote for him.  You'd have to literally be trolling these rankings, and at that point I wouldn't waste my time doing them.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm not trolling at all. Derrick Rose didn't look great when he returned, I get that. I think he was still not mentally ready to come back. Based on reports I've heard, he's all ready to go. Wasn't his injury in the other knee even? When he's healthy, he's better than every player left in the poll without question. If he doesn't come back healthy, feel free to call me out on a sus pick. But my vote stands

Your vote would be purely on speculation.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Based on reports from last season he was ready to go.  Remember, this is for who you would take right now.

Right now the only games being played are pickup and apparently Derrick Rose is killing them

Look, if you don't want me to vote for Derrick, I won't. It's not that big a deal to me. But I feel like he should be up there.

Injuries didn't stop Rondo and Westbrook from cracking the list last year, and they both were less far along the recovery than Rose is now

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Wasn't he killing them last year too?  I mean I'll put him up next poll and you can vote your heart away for him until we start the SG's.
 
I can't argue your second point, but we also had a rule last year that a player had to play like a quarter of the season to be on the poll.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I just don't get why he wasn't an option to begin with. You have at least 3 people saying they'd vote for them for #5, maybe more are out there too?

Let us write-in ballot...

 

[jonathanlambert33]

After much thinking about it, I think I'm gonna go Kyle Lowry.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Nola care to give me some quick thoughts on Jrue Holiday? You can PM them to me if you want

For your 2K thing?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah I'm finishing up an edit on him now just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Yeah I can do that.
