If the PG isn't a better PG then whats the point of moving Stephon in the first place, especially when we have someone like Quentin Richardson to play SG and Trevor Ariza SF.
It all depends on the best fit. You want the to have the best players possible at every position. For instance, if somehow Mike Bibby were playing point and Steph was moved to SG, bring Q or JC off the bench. Marbury is just better than Q or JC, as is Bibby.
my top 8 pgs:
Kidd
Nash
Bibby
Davis
Billups*
Cassell (when healthy)
Tinsley (when healthy)
3 way tie for 8th - Parker Marbury Arenas
You have Cassell and Tinsley ahead of Marbury? Ridiculous. You consider Bibby the number 3 PG in the league? Bibby is a nice player, but what has he done in 'career moments' or on a day-to-day basis better than Marbury? Nothing. Don't let one good playoff series fool you.
You are obviously going out of your way to put Marbury low.
my top 8 sgs:
Kobe
T-Mac
Carter
Wade
Pierce
AI
Ginobli
Hamilton
Your SG rankings make much more sense.
Steph if moved could be better at the position than Rip.
Stephon Marbury is better at any position than Hamilton, PG through Center. Marbury is simply a better player. He brings much more to the table. Come on.
* people will try and compare Steph to Chauncey but playing defense, displaying character and leadership were never problems of Billups, he just needed his decision making capabilities tweaked.
Have you watched Billup's career? Do you know how many teams gave up on him? The only possible way to rank Billups ahead of Marbury is to only look at the past 2 seasons, where Marbury was still statistically better, but Billups was much more successful at winning.
While I'm at it, what has Baron Davis done in his career besides accumulate stats? Or Sam Cassell? How about Steve Nash, he was MVP last year, but prior to that, I saw nothing to make him better than Marbury.
The only player from your list who has clearly had a better career than Marbury is Kidd, and you can add Nash if you take into account he is at his peak right now.
oohah
