Which young PG would you most prefer?

Just wondering who people would prefer out of all these guys. Bledsoe is probably a rung or two lower than the others at the moment. I'd want Lillard, very closely followed by Irving.

Tough question I go with Irving, but I can't really give any particular reasoning. In my opinion, he's just been more impressive when at his best. Lillard is doing well on a very good Blazers team, but I think he has limited potential. Wall is a great talent, but I haven't ever really seen him take over a game the way Irving has.

Let's just act like Bledsoe wasn't mentioned.

Kyrie IRVING
Wall

Bledsoe

It's close enough among the top 3 guys that it really comes down to who your other guys are.

Lillard has Aldridge / Matthews / Batum, while Irving has Waiters / Varejao and Wall has Beal / Nene.

Curious why you like Kyrie that much more than Irving.

Haha.  Nice.  Yeah that was a strange error.

Definitely Steph Curry...but since he isn't listed, I guess I will go with Irving for now.

The cutoff age was 24, so people like Westbrook and Rose weren't listed either.

Wall for me.

Irving and Lillard are better shooters and closers, but if either are shooting poorly, their contributions outside offense are fairly limited. Wall's a better defender, passer, rebounds better, stealer, and blocker. In other words, he reminds me of Rondo.

John Wall -- excellent size and explosive athleticism. Very good vision, terrific defender, a good rebounder and creates turnovers at a high clip. An improving and solid scorer. Still has a huge amount of upside to him. I believe he has the highest ceiling of any of those PGs.
