Could make an argument for Steve Francis but imo Bane affects the game in a more positive way than Dribble-heavy Stevie Franchise did.

Reminds me of a more athletic Chauncey Billups.. You gotta respect his range, strong enough to get to the rim and sees the floor well.

Steve Francis really did play all-star level ball before he got depressed after the Mobley trade. He should have made the all-star team that year and was a major snub.

No Steve Francis in the top 10? Is this a joke?

Where the flip is Penny?

Is this an AI post?

T mac played for his stats only.

2010 VC? More talented, definitely.

But the best? Bane is already more efficient than him.

No. Travis Diener is better than Bane. ;)

I think starting at the Tracy era and looking at all guards I'd rank Steve slightly ahead of Bane.

Tier 1:
1. Tracy McGrady

Tier 2:
2. Steve Francis
3. Bane

Putting it into perspective like this is honestly embarrassing for our franchise.

Also it looks like everyone forgot about Jameer Nelson or we're just doing shooting guards.

Bane is a lot better than VC was in the one year he was here. We had VC post-knee injuries and he was no longer a star.
