[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 871117, member: 2299"] Top 5 PGs all time? Please don't tell me you're referring to chris paul and are about to post about his NBA success when talking about playing in college? In college Paul has leg to stand on compared to Anderson or really Willams/Ford/Hurley. He adapted better to the NBA game and if we're talking NBA point guards then sure. He was better. But we're talking ACC. And as ACC players he wasn't better. Jay Williams was a great college player who scored similar to Anderson but Anderson was the better passer and I'd argue a marginally better scorer. He was an extremely good player. He just wasn't quite Kenny Anderson good. As far as Hurley goes you have to be kidding with the him being a better ACC player than Kenny. They came in during the same class. In 1990 one was first team all ACC and ACC rookie of the year. The other wasn't on any all conference team. Guess which. In 1991 one was 1st team all conference and a consensus all American and the other was third team. Hurley and Anderson were similar in terms of passing, but Kenny was much better scoring. Hurley was really good for 4 years. But he wasn't ever Kenny good and that doesn't change just because Kenny only stayed 2 years. Ford has the best argument, and the differences in rules make it hard to compare. No 3 point line but especially the lack of a shot clock being the biggest two. The three point line would have helped him, but IMO the bigger issue was the no shot clock. It made it so that there was no real pressure on he PG to actually create things when the team was ahead. To me that takes away a good bit from him. Still and all time great, but a point guard that doesn't have to deal with the pressures of creating things when the shot clock runs low? Not sure what the point about winning the ACC PoY was about. Hurley never did. Nor Williams. Ford did only as a senior I believe. I'm almost certainly willing to bet had Anderson stayed four years he would have also won a PoY but even without it him not winning it doesn't make Tre Jones a better PG just because he did. Some point guards had better careers than Kenny because they stayed longer. But that doesn't mean they were better players. [/QUOTE]
