I'd take Harden near the top. I'd take CP3 and Steph both over Westbrook.
If you give me a LeBron to start with, I'll take Kyrie over any of them.
Agree, I'd take CP3 and Steph (whom I have no love for) over Westbrook all day. For all the talk about how Westbrook was outplaying Steph in the series, well, when it was over, that definitely wasn't the case.
I think Paul is too under appreciated. This notion he's a choker, or can't get it done in the playoffs is nonsense. He's 6th all-time in player efficiency in the playoffs. His numbers are pretty impressive and just his typical production. One guy can't do it all.
He's just had better teams in his way, with the exception of Houston, and he was the single player that didn't play bad. Everyone around him, including his coach, were awful.
If I'd trust any guard going into the playoffs first. It'd be Paul. Maybe Kyrie going forward but the sample size isn't big enough yet.
