Where would Tim Hardaway rank in the current league???

[#number6ix#]

In his prime before the knee injury and even after he was quick could get to the rim with ease, could finish with contact,was a decent 3pt shooter, a good passer, decent defender...

Career numbers
17.7pts/8ast/3.3rebs/
43.1%fg/35%3pt/78.2%ft

So where would he rank top10 top5 or would he be another run of the mill guard

Some highlights if interested

no.

I think he would be up there at the top of the second tier / bottom of the first tier of guards. He would be better than Nate Robinson thats for sure and Nate tore shit up against Miami.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Top 2 with CP3.

[imdaman99]

he would be behind cp3 and westbrook. very good player, but outside of that year the heat got every knick suspended for leaving the bench ( ) he got locked up by charlie ward and chris childs in the playoffs.

i know his son is a very different kind of player, but i hope he has that same fire. i seen that athleticism

knicks and heat use to have some epic playoff series yall got the edge most of the time but that was some damn good basketball

cp3, rondo, curry, westbrook, rose, irving, williams would all be clearly better than him at the pg position

cp3, rondo, curry, westbrook, rose, irving, williams would all be clearly better than him at the pg position

so top 10 and i think williams could be debatable

[wakencdukest]

Probably top 5. He had a few years where he was among the top 2 or 3 point guards in the league, he was incredibly quick, had a deadly jumpshot, and was as good of a ballhandler as any player today, the dude popularized the crossover dribble.

[hateraid]

Tim Hardaway had certain skills and intangibles that are more effective than the PG's today.
I see him as being more confident and competitive than the guards listed. He has better post up skills than any of the PG's today. His scoring would be top 3 and his assist totals would be top 3. I'd say on the tier with CP3, Westbrook. and Rose and ahead of Irving.

[bagelred]

Good lord...he hasn't even played one game in the NBA yet.....have some patience.

Knew some idiot would come here to post this.

Timmy would be in the top five for sure. Blended scoring and dime dropping just the way I like a floor general to do. Looks to pass first and be a general, but at the drop of a hat can take over scoring like the great scorers. Me personally, that's my perfect type of PG. That's why I dig CP3 and D-Will the most of PG's today. Now as far as whose THE BEST PLAYER at PG, Rose and Westbrook take a backseat to nobody. But as PG's, I just put a certain premium of dropping dimes and being a floor general. I like the guys who blend scoring and dimes the best. Timmy is one of those guys who had it down to a science along with Magic, Isiah, KJ, and Price back in that era.

cp3, rondo, curry, westbrook, rose, irving, williams would all be clearly better than him at the pg position

This ish is crazy. Prime Hardaway is better than everyone mentioned besides cp3 and maybe Westbrook. I'm not giving the benefit of the doubt to dudes coming off major surgery.
