#1 option
1.Arenas
2.Baron
3.Carter
4.Johnson

#2 option
1.Carter
2.Baron
3.Arenas
4.Johnson

#3 option
1.Carter
2.Johnson
3.Arenas
4.Baron

Gilbert and Baron are much more suited to be #1 options, as opposed to #2 or #3, considering the amount of shots both guys are used to taking..I'd definitely take both of them as my #1 option, as opposed to Carter and Johnson though..

Baron, all day, every day. VC and JJ aren't even close really, it comes down to Gil v. BD and I'll take Baron's playmaking and D over Gil's superior scoring ability.

Gilbert for scoring, Davis for assists. Nobody else.

Each player in their prime - Vince
Best player right now - Baron

Joe Johnson doesn't really deserve to be on this list btw.

Vince is the superior player. He has had the best peak and career out of the bunch. Not really that close at this point.

Baron and Vince at their peaks are far beyond the others, and wtf is Joe Johnson doing here.

Hmm.. I don't know , the question of career is hard to tell.. Baron beat a 67 game winnign team.. Vince had one ECF apperance.. Arenas has had MIP, gone up the charts in scoring.. top 5... he's goin to have a better career then all 3 of them, he's young..

Baron still has a couple years left in him and vince is .. declining.

but i can be wrong, thats just how i feel about it.

At the end of the day I think Vince will have the more memorable career of the three. Maybe not the most team success, or individual awards. But I believe that Vince Carter has a better chance of making the HOF than both Baron and Gilbert. A lot due to his reign as being the best dunker of his generation, and arguably of all time. But yeah, we'll see how it all pans out in a few years.

Actually, I'd go as far to say that BD's peak is even better than Vince's. Vince is an unstoppable scorer and penetrator at his, but so is Baron. But Baron is also an elite passer, rebounder (for his size), leader, clutch player, and defender at his peak. It's by no means a blowout, but I'd say Baron's peak is even better than Vince's (see 07 DAL series and 02 ORL series). Also, I don't think that Vince's dunking ability would make him a lock for the HOF or anything, for that matter.

Vince in the past, Baron in the present, Gilbert in the future.
