Chris paul plays D? WhAT?

Question

why does everyone think CP3 can play D just because he leads the league in steals. thats just on the stat sheet. i dont think cp3 can play Good d. hes avg .

what you think

Answer 1

Chris Paul plays madd good D. I dont know wat the h**l you talkin bout'.

Answer 2

Well, Nash, Kidd, and Fisher aren't good defenders because they're old. They can't stay in front of PGs.

Back to topic, I'd pick Rondo to CP3 in playing D. The Celtics are all about defense and he does that pretty well.

Answer 3

yeah Chris Paul just sucks

NOT!!!

Answer 4

He has decent Ds. Just watch him played Tony Parker - one of the best Slasher in the game. PGs with better D than CP3 are Rondo, Billups, and Andre Miller. But Rondo/Miller can't make a d**n shot.

D-Will is good, but he helped too much and didn't play help defense too well. Baron Davis plays good D? No way. Nash, Kidd, and some others are even worse. Don't even mention Fisher... who can only guard someone who's slow as he is.

Answer 5

He isn't strong one-on-one defensively but I think he is a good gambler. =) Stealing is a gamble. I like it!

Answer 6

I think Chris Paul is an average defender and still makes rookie mistakes of trying to steal too much. This is another reason why Kobe was picked over Cp3 for MVP. Defense is all about imposing on your opponent and altering his shot and worsening the probablity of making it and Chris Paul does an OK job of it. What he lacks in D, he makes up in offense.

Answer 7

when he was in college he was known for his D, continuously getting matched against big scorers like Reddick and Felton.
