Augustin doesn't have great point guard skills....he's a good shooter and he fits in with the new wave of score-first point guards, but he aint a top-tier point guard. btw, he was drafted with the 9th overall pick...not really grounds to expect greatness in the first place.

I'd give a top 10 pick high expectations. Great was def not the right word.

Not an easy question , it really depends on what your team needs and its roster... that's why I'm not comfortable to rank traditional PGs and scorer PGs together ... You can't say Rose is clearly a better PG than CP3 or vice-versa since there aren't the same style of player
Teams like the Bulls/Thunder need a Rose or Westbrook to put 20+ points on the board when the Clippers or Celtics big 3 (in their prime) don't .
On another note , the most underrated PG in the league for years has been Tony Parker

He's a former All-Star, current All-Star and Finals MVP... not too shabby... but he doesn't have the celebrity status that some guys have. Part of that is due to being not American, not being a sick dunker and playing for the Spurs I guess.
My favorite PG is Deron Williams, if motivated and in the right system, surrounded by the right players. It used to be Chris Paul, but his knee problems took a bit of him. He's still great, but that marginal drop is enough to put Williams ahead of him cause he was never that much behind him. Rose is dope too, but not really my type of PG. Maybe he could be when surrounded by some better scorers/players. But I'm not a fan of the inefficiency of scoring 20 points on 38% shooting instead of passing it to a nigga who is shooting 60%. Part of that is due to the players he has on the team, of course.

yeah I like Deron game too (though he could try more on D imo) ... and he's always shitting on CP3 when he plays against him .
He might be a Mav so I guess you'll like him even more :laugh:
