Smush vs top three drafted PG's

Posted on LG.net on 12/8/05.

Do you remember how Laker fans were hoping the Lakers could draft a PG? Instead, the 3 best PG's were snatched up #3 (Deron Williams), #4 (Chris Paul) and #5 (Raymond Felton). Here is how Smush is doing relative to the top 3 drafted PG's:
Smush Parker
Smush is 24 years old and plays on the 9-9 Lakers
Stats: 13.0 ppg in 33.2 mpg, shooting 48.1%, 41.8% on 3's, 3.7 rpg, 2.8 apg, 2.06 spg, 1.83 TO, 1.5 A-to-TO

Deron Williams
Williams is 21 years old and plays on the 8-11 Jazz
Stats: 12.3 ppg in 30.0 mpg, shooting 40.3%, 38.5% on 3's, 2.9 rpg, 4.6 apg, 0.79 spg, 2.32 TO, 2.0 A-to-TO

Chris Paul
Paul is 20 and plays for the 8-10 Hornets
Stats: 16.0 ppg in 36.4 mpg, shooting 42.5%, 24.5% on 3's, 5.8 rpg, 6.6 apg, 2.06 spg, 2.44 TO, 2.7 A-to-TO

Raymond Felton
Felton is 21 and plays for the 5-14 Bobcats
Stats: 6.6 ppg in 18.6 mpg, shooting 30.3%, 32.7% on 3's, 2.1 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.05 spg, 1.53 TO, 2.4 A-to-TO

Smush has the best shooting percentage and 3 pt shooting percentage and the worst apg and Assist-turnover ratio. Smush probably can't run a team as a true point guard, but he is a solid fit for the triangle.
