Definitely a franchise player and one of the top point guards in the league. Definitely one of the more valuable players in the league. It's too bad he plays in one of the worst basketball cities in the country, where nobody's going to see his talents. I don't dislike the little guy as I do James or many people clearly do Bryant, but I don't see him as being on Kobe's level, or improving his team as much as Kobe does the Lakers.
Sounds to me like you clearly dislike him.

Anyway, we just have to disagree on this issue.

Decent scorer in middle volumes?? What does that really mean?

Yes, he is tiny, that is what makes his talent so huge. To be able to be that valuable at his size speaks volumes.

Not insanely creative with the ball, well, if you lead the NBA in assists and avg 21 ppg, who gives a flying fish if you are creative with the ball or not.

Yes, he does play in a very small market, however, people know who he is NOW.

And yes, IMO he is just as valuable, maybe more so to his team than Kobe is to the Lakers. Is he on Kobe`s level, of course not, but that`s not the issue here, the issue is who is this years MVP.
