The athletic comparioson of the top three athletic PGs

[Pointguard]

I can take that.

I think Wall is definitely the savviest athlete while Westbrook is the most freakish. Rose is the in-between for me.

I'm glad Wall is getting some attention as he's up there with them. Rose is the most complete to me. He's top two in every category except durability and uses the whole mix more than the other two.

Nate I have very little deviation from your list: I have Wall ahead of Westbrook in Dexterity. Wall can run full speed left handed coast to coast and dunk it on somebody without the right hand ever touching the ball.

In general the best athlete in the world is the decathlete. Not the 100 meter winner. Mudiay is coming on the scene and he's a big, fast, agile and can jump. I don't see Westbrook as being this run away best athletic PG ever or even better all around than Rose of a few years back.

People are so short sighted. Before his two catastrophic knee injuries, Derrick was definitely the best overall athlete of the three players mentioned. Not to say the other two aren't great or impressive.

All I am going to say is that prime rose is definitely the fastest, with and without the ball, is the best at changing directions and therefore the most agile, and without a doubt had the best vertical (40 inch plus) and therefore the most explosive.

All great athletes, but Rose was part of that freak once in a generation category before he got injured.

Thanks for contributing Sam (Thanks to all who have contributed).

I see you added first step! Cool. Somebody told me Westbrook wins out because he uses his explosion more than Rose and Wall use their athleticism. I said then AI is the best athlete of them all because he stayed in quickness mode and lead the league in scoring for four years. I think people use words and don't really know what they mean.

I know it isn't really represented in this series of comparisons, but Wall is the most ambidextrous

See post 18 above. I'm pretty sure he was born left handed.
