Where would Russell Paul rank in today's league?

Basically give Chris Paul Westbrook's athleticism and size.
Westbrook managed to be MVP with the bball iq of a brick and a weak jumper. How good would he with with CP3's bball iq, court vision and skillset?

So basically Oscar Robertson?

So basically Oscar Robertson?

Oscar was a great athlete but he wasnt anywhere near Russ athleticism. Prolly only Derrick Rose and maybe Baron Davis was among Pgs ever

Not sure if I agree. Oscar was bigger and stronger than Westbrook, he played in much more conservative way than Westbrook but it doesn't make him much less athletic. I think that Westbrook's agressiveness and reliance on physicality makes his athleticism a bit exagarrated. Of course he's all-time athlete for his position, but I don't agree that he is peerless.

I'd add Randy Smith to that list of fast and athletic PGs by the way.

Not sure where he'd rank, but how did you pass up on an opportunity to name him RuPaul?
