    Chris Paul or Derrick Rose?

    Who would you want to run the point of your franchise?

    Who is better?

    thats a really good question... Chris paul is an amazing all around player.. Imagine if he had an explosive drive like rose... There also isnt a pg in the nba that runs the pick and roll play so well

    Chris Paul- easily. Derrick Rose is quicker and can finish better at the rim. Chris Paul is a better shooter but he also makes the whole team of scrubs better, now imagine if he played he played with 1 more good player

    I love Rose -- he's a bulldog, and at only 22, it's scary to think how good he might eventually be.

    I might take Paul, though.

    it totally depends on what type of team you have.

    But Chris Paul is statistically the better player and statistically the best PG in the game.

    Nobody is a bigger Bulls/Rose homer than me, but I'm also a reasonable basketball fan, comparing the stats between the two players, it's clear Chris Paul is on another level right now compared to Rose.

    Rose will outplay anybody 1 on 1 though, he's about as physically dominating a player as exists in the NBA for his position, right up there with Lebron or Dwight.

    Derrick Rose.

    Paul's amazing performance vs the Lakers gives him a deserved 2nd place. It might not be fair to put either of them in 2nd place though, they are both phenomenal.

    I will take Derrick Rose. He's only 22, and look at the growth he's made in his game in only his 3rd year. Couldn't shoot a lick when he came in, now he's going to be MVP and dominate the pg position for years.

    In statistical categories, there's almost literally nothing Derrick Rose does better than Chris Paul, except shot blocking.

    Chris Paul is the better and more efficient shooter and passer, those are the two most important categories for a PG.

    Paul is still better than Rose.

    Chris Paul in a heartbeat. Best PG in the game and least watched team in the NBA.
    Bulls can win without Rose. Hornets are dead in the water without Paul.

    Paul is not better than Rose.
    Paul is never gonna get a MVP. Rose will!

    well that's just a ridiculous thing to say

    Paul is on another level compared to Rose, this is coming from a Bulls homer

    This is Rose's break out year, Chris Paul has been playing on a high level for many years

    No doubt Chris Paul has been playing on a high level for many years.
    And i like them both. But if i had to choose 1 for my franchise.. no doubt Rose 100%!

    in what way? Instead of all these subjective opinions, where you don't back up any of your answers with objective evidence, I will post some hard numbers for you

    TS%
    Derrick Rose 55
    Chris Paul 57.7

    eFG%
    Derrick Rose 48.5
    Chris Paul 50.1

    At Rim FG%
    Derrick Rose 60
    Chris Paul 61.6

    3-9 feet FG%
    Derrick Rose 39.7
    Chris Paul 45.9

    10-15 feet FG%
    Derrick Rose 42
    Chris Paul 42

    16-23 feet FG%
    Derrick Rose 38
    Chris Paul 45

    Three Point %
    Derrick Rose 33
    Chris Paul 38

    So looking at these numbers for the 10'-11' season, we can see that Derrick Rose is less efficient and shoots worse than Chris Paul from everywhere on the floor, except at 10-15 feet, where they're tied

    chris paul definitely is one of the biggest factors if not the only factor in the hornets' offense. derrick rose has definitely made more impact this year tho. derrick rose!!

    Chris Paul is a better passer, shooter, rebounder, defender, and leader. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me. The only thing that makes me even think twice is Paul's injuries.

    A lot of ignorant people here at SBR. Wow. This question isn't even worth asking. 30/30 GM's would give the same answer.

    Tough call here. I would take Derrick Rose by the slightest of margin.
