Yes. You can find point guards in the NBA that are better than him in terms of shooting or passing ability but he is a true point guard and that's something rare nowadays. He can do a bit of everything like Jason Kidd like scoring, rebounding, and making assists. He rebounds very well for a person his size. He is very mature, the things he does are not things even a few veterans can do. He just finished his rookie year but there is no doubt even since last year that he is the leader of the Hornets.

Yes he is....thier arent many good calibur pure point guards anymore....most are shooting guard hybrids now dat are shoot first and pass later....besides the hornets were going down the drain before CP3 showed up...they almost made it to da playoffs....last year they werent even close....they didnt even stand a chance last year....its a new roster team....this year thell be even better with the additions they made....guys like chandler thrive on good passes from poitn guards since they cant make thier own shots...and the rookie they draftwed has alot of potential....i see them making the playoffs and havgin a 50/50 chnace of making it to the semis.....the top 5 PURE point guards rite now are
Steve Nash
Jason kidd
Chauncey Billups
Chris Paul
Tony Parker/ Mike Bibby

He's gonna average 17 points 10 assists next season. If not more assists. They got Peja and Tyson chandler... He will be very good. He will be what steve nash has done the past 2 years. But he will have more turn overs since hes young. He will lead the sophmores to slaughter the rookies in the rookies sophmore game...

He is a good point i mean i had him on fantasy team last year and he was a beast. I think he was the best rookie last year. i don't think he is in the top 5 yet. But i am sure that he will definetly get there. Cause if you ask me right now i think he is #7!

He is one of the best players in this league. He can score rebound and pass the ball. He can play big and small and is a good defender.
