"I don't think you've ever seen so many good point guards in one conference at one time in the league ever," Lawson told Yahoo Sports. "But you've got to win. If you want to be an elite PG in this league, you've got to win. You've got to be in the conference finals, the NBA Finals. If you're not winning, you'll always be a second-tier, or third-tier point guard."

Re: Ty Lawson implies Chris Paul isn't elite
Even the biggest Paul hater wouldn't call him a 2nd-tier PG.
Lawson is drunk.

Not saying you shouldn't take other stuff into account but PER usually tells you all you really need to know.

Re: Ty Lawson implies Chris Paul isn't elite
CP3 had his share of shortcomings (last years game 6 vs Houston, choking vs OKC etc) but he's still elite. Anyone who says otherwise is tripping on PCP.
I would put him there with Curry in that Tier 1 PG slot. Best pure PG in the league... just not as good as Curry individually, in my opinion.

There's only so much impact a 5'11", average athlete can make. Basketball is a big mans game. Literally all the GOATs are big men or 6' 4"+, super athletic wings.

Re: Ty Lawson implies Chris Paul isn't elite
so lawson considers himself a 3rd tier, and possibly 4th tier (by his standards) PG.

Re: Ty Lawson implies Chris Paul isn
PER is an efficiency metric that weighs out negatives. John Hollinger, the creator of the stat, has said its not perfect by any means and definitely has flaws (not taking into account defense save for blocks and steals is a BIG one). Originally Posted by ShaqTwizzle

Re: Ty Lawson implies Chris Paul isn't elite
He has a point. Chris doesn't belong in the same conversation as Magic, who would have made the conference finals at least once given CP3's teams.
