NIK is the only person I've seen discrediting Paul and putting Williams as a near equal. Every list by every analyst always has Paul as one of the main MVP choices.
They might be similar in talent, but that does not equate similar value. Williams has picked up his numbers this season, but nothing like Paul. And the increase in Pauls number show how valuable he is to the Hornets. Look at how well they've played this year. The Hornets are 1st in the West right now and have been hovering around the top most of the season. In reality, Utah has only the 6th best record in the West. Where was Utah last year? Vitually in the place as they are now (finished 51-31). And the Hornets? Try below .500. They play similar minutes, but Paul averages more points, assists and steals than Williams. Not to mention, Paul has a better assist/turnover ratio. Similar in talent, yes, but Paul does have the edge. That is why Paul is an MVP candidate...
Boozer >>> WestPaul >>>>> WilliamsAnyone seriously debating this?
