In your opinion, is Joe Johnson still considered the third best SG in the league? His competition consists of Eric Gordon, Monta Ellis, Kevin Martin, Tyreke Evans, etc.  i think he will lose the 3rd best SG title to Eric Gordon.  Monta Ellis is too one dimensional aka scoring machine who has worked on his defense but is still a liability on d.  K-Mart has a sweet stroke but i still dont see him surpassing the others on this list, plays no D.  Tyreke Evans is a combo guard and could play sg or ppg depending on Jimmer’s position. I say Eric Gordon takes his spot this upcoming season

Once Ellis and Gordon get in the playoffs, then I can say they have passed Joe Johnson.   Neither of them have led their team to the playoffs as the 1st, 2nd or 3rd option, while Joe Johnson constantly has led the Atlanta Hawks to the playoffs as their 1st option.

 I think it depends on whats your type or how you define a shooting guard. Eric Gordon is a scorer with top notch athleticism and a beauty of a jump shot. He’s gotten more aggressive going to the rim highlighted by some of his huge dunks last year. What he has on all the other sg’s is hes a good defender whos improving and takes that side of the game seriously. He will onl get better playing along side blake and if he tightens up that handle i wouldnt want to be the coach who has the stop a blake/EJ pick and roll or pop anytime soon. Ellis is pure offensive force who can turn it up whenever, his play making has gotten better but mostly seems like its a bail out option to me more then he was trying to create for others. Its just that when hes not on hes really not contrbuting much else on the court, hes undersized like Gordon but is rail thin and routinely gets abused by other SG. Im not saying hes a bad defender but theirs times u watch him and you just think wth was he thinking. Also hes kind of a by product of the system in Golden state where offense is 1st 2nd and 3rd while defense is somewhere near 10 If were talking more comlplete offensive packages Reke is the answer. He was slowed by foot problems but i still think he will but up big time stats next season. He can score on any Sg and can finish in the lane with the best of them. Is the best passer of the 3 but is not over top. If he could stop being a black hole sometimes and got the offense rolling since he has the ball almost every offensive threat i think its no question he would be the 3rd best. But i think the best way for him to stake the 3 spot would be to iron out his jumpshot and range to make penetration to the hole even easier and allow him to set up teammtes better but also taking it personally when he gets scored on. Thats the thing about Ej and even Eliis to a lesser extent when they get scored on they wanna dominate the person even more. For me ill take Gordon i think his three point shot will appear again his range and release looks so smooth and effortless, he takes the games serious and hes playing on a young exciting team, everything is really looking up for him

True but Joe Johnson has TONS of talent along with him on that Hawks team that know how to win.

Eric Gordon is in LA LA land with ALOT of talented guys but they all are young

Ellis only has Curry and David Lee

 

The only reason I put them over Johnson is Johnson dissapears alot of times, the series against the bulls where he had 2 outstanding games and they EASILY beat the bulls he posted numbers such as 34 points 12-18 shooting 5-5 from 3 4 boards 3 assist, and the other game was 24 pts and 5 assist, but for him to be a top tier guard you dont follow those games with stats such as 10 points??? 16 points??? O yea dont forget about the 5 POINT game he had against the Magic in 35 mins of play, and he’s getting all that money so people will criticize him even more.

You should really watch Monta Ellis first before you comment on his game.  Monta brings more than just scoring.  He’s a good playmaker, top guys in steals every year (he causes havoc in passing lanes), and shoots a good % for a player who shoots at a volume.  The only weakness in his game is his size, otherwise the guy has it all (Speed, quickness, toughness, playmaking ability, and defense).

"that know how to win."

That’s exactly what I’m saying.  Joe Johnson knows how to win.  You think Kobe would be known as one of the greatest if he didn’t win a ring?

Joe Johnson has been in the playoffs pretty much his entire career.  Yes, he has played with a good share of talented players.  This will be the season where each of these shooting guards will have a very good team.  New coach and an older Stephen Curry will help Monta.  An older Blake Griffin and healthy Chris Kaman can help Eric Gordon.

There are a variety of question marks regarding Ellis and Gordon as well.  If the Warriors are in the playoffs, is Monta Ellis their leading scorer and clearly best player?  Will Gordon be the 3rd option next season when Kaman comes back and Griffin improves?  

Even with all that talent Joe Johnson has on the Hawks, he is still clearly their best and most trusted player.  He is still their #1 option.  He has led them to the playoffs.  Nobody says, "Al Horford and Josh Smith have led the Hawks to the playoffs!"  They say Joe Johnson.

As of right now, I have to say Joe Johnson.  Simply because of his prior success and resume.  That could change this season.

I do watch his play i always try and watch warriors games becuz your usually guarnteed a good offensive game even on a slow day he shoots a good percentage for a Sg who takes a high number of shots, he is excellent at jumping passing lanes but hes not a pick your pocket stealer and routinely loses his man especially on pick and rolls becuz he gets squeezed out by bigger players or he just doesnt care and again i think his play making is more on the offense then his decision making or passing ability, he also has capable 3pt shooters on the floor at all times which adds to his assists

If you put him on the Clippers, he’d the be the obvious first option.  Not like Eric Gordon where people don’t know whether or not he’s 2nd or 3rd.  I honestly believe that a lineup of Davis/Williams-Johnson-Gomes-Griffin-Kaman/Jordan would be a playoff team.  You have three all-stars in that lineup. 

If he were on the Warriors, would they make the playoffs?  I’m not too sure, but Johnson, Curry, and Lee would compliment themselves much more because none of them need the ball to be that effective.  Whereas Ellis isn’t so effective off-ball in an average tempo game.  Thus making the Warriors a more cohesive unit and probably a better team.

I’m not saying anybody has to agree with me or that everybody is incorrect.  This is just my personal opinion and speculation.

 I hear you tounge-out,

People rag on Joe Johnson because they say he’s not a first-option type player on a contender. This is definitely true, but neither is any other SG in the league aside from Kobe and Wade. While Johnson may not be able to carry a team to a Championship, he has proven consistently that he can cary a team to the playoffs, which is more than can be said Ellis(although I’d still rank him a little higher at this point) and Gordon.

 Also i think when people are choosing the best players the biggest thing that gets overlooked is what there doing when they have an off shooting day. If you look at ellis game log he had 23 games of less then 20 pts. His assist rates are terrible his turnover percentages are higher on top of the already low Fg% and when hes having that bad night his D is very trying and leaves alot to be desired. Also his Fg% in general is miss leading out of the 4 he has the most inconsistent one. He has tons of downers that are balanced out by his high performance games where as the others shot more consistently game after game. I bring this up because 23 games is essentially a quarter of the season your best scorer isnt on his game and whats he gunna do about it, all the others bring something to the table is they dont score thats the difference to me in deciding players and which teams make the playoffs and which team doesnt

He’s averaged 20ppg, 5.4apg, 4.4rpg since then.  How is he not that good?  He averaged more assists and more rebounds than Eric Gordon.  Even on a bad year while Gordon has had the best year of his career!

Not to mention, he turns the ball over less on a bad year than Eric Gordon did on his best year!  And he was the primary ball-handler as well!

AND, he fouls less than Eric Gordon while he’s constantly guarding the best player on the other team!

All while averaging more minutes than Gordon these last four years!

 Im with young dave on this one, Johnson Averaged 25 pts 4 years ago in only 57 games and seemed to have a fluke shooting year of 47% and highest since has been 45% dipping down all the way to 43% for a couple of seasons. His shots per game also went down but his assist level also fell so its not like hes setting up teammates as much when hes not shooting. He to me is clearly a 2nd option who needs to be playing with someone better then him for us to truly see how good he is because he would go from overrated to underrated in a fly, but then that contract would look like more of a mistake then it already was

Exactly Johnson had a breakout year…Round of applause but he can’t cut it as a go to guy, and the contract as I stated earlier looks like a huge mistake, and I clearly said him and Eric Gordon are tied for fourth but in a year or 2 I see EG surpassing him Johnson is on the decline and his stats show that.

 Your right on all your facts about Johnson but your not telling the full story on gordon Johnson has 11 season gordon has only THREE! Gordon is inevitably going to be better next year and for a couple more years at that while i dont think johnson can really improve on anything else in his game to get him back to where he was. He just doesnt pass the  eye test anymore. When i used to watch him i would always see him make the right pass or shoot the right shot but now when i watch him theres more and more question marks hes also making over 18 million a year to put up those stats while gordon is playing a rookie contract with a favorable Cba for the owners in the next season so Ej will always be younger ever improving and cheaper

Yes, it’s inevitable that Eric Gordon will get better.  It’s obvious.  So I don’t know how that’s even an argument.  I’m talking about RIGHT NOW.  Eventually LeBron will be 35 while John Wall will be 29.  At that point, John Wall will maybe be better than LeBron.

Does that mean that he’s better than him right now?

 Ha do you really think Gordon being undersized limits him that much? He has a 6’8.5” wingspan with elite quickness strength and jumping ability. Johnson might use it on offense quite nicely but on the other end its not like hes continuly blocking others or physically dominating anyone, and your argument has no merit obviously Johnson looks more consistent cuz weve seen him play for 11 years, Ellis for the last 4 has consistently scored well and gotten better while Gordon had a good Rookie a sub par offensive showing his 2nd and really turned it up last year so yes i would

Undersized means nothing they still produce at an high level a level much higher than Joe Johnson, if he’s so good why did he have 50 games where he scored under 20?

 You guys should really think, Joe Johnson had a DOWN year last year, he was injured and came back really early from the surgery (may have not been the best idea) he himself said he couldn’t line up his shooting elbow completely correct until late in the season.

Also, with Jamal probably leaving in FA, Joe will have to take on a lot of the perimeter scoring again he will probably be somewhere back in the 21-25 PPG range.

I don’t see how much Eric Gordon produces at a MUCH higher level Youngdave so if you could explain that, that would be great…

Just stop with the Ellis, Love and Beasley are all-stars or top 3 on their position bull&$#%#&@!.

People obviously are just looking at the numbers. Those guys played on fast paced teams and got a lot of minutes so obviously their numbers will be bigger than from someone. Everything Ellis can do is score. He is not someone who gets his own teammates involved, he is a poor rebounder and defender and turns the ball over on a high rate. He’s gotten better with his range every year, I’ll give him that. Especially his 3pt shot was very good this season. Still his shooting percentage is still below average. Johnson, old Roy and Manu make their teammates better, by playing good defense, being proven, reliable shooters and by getting their teammates involved.

Monta Ellis is 14th in ppg per 40 min (adjusted).

Monta Ellis is 19th ppg per 40 pace (adjusted).

Are you guys freaking kidding me? Scoring is almost everything he can do and he is barely in the top 20 in pace adjusted scoring while shooting an average percentage? Adding to this he is the center piece of their offense. The only reason people put him that high is because he was in the top 5 ppg list and because he has some nice highlights.

Just stop it. Look at the adjusted stats.

Edit: Lets not talk about the salary. Johnson is obvisouly overpaid like shit.

I’d go with either Joe Johnson or Manu Ginobli as the third best two guard in the league right now.

Eric Gordon isn’t quite there yet. He works hard and his mind is in the right place, but he still has to improve his handle, passing/vision, in between game and play down the stretch. He’s made improvements in all of those areas… Just needs to keep it up.

That season, Monta started a little over half the season.  Al Harrington, Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson all had higher averages in points, rebounds, and only Al Harrington didn’t average more assists than Ellis.  Hell, I can go as far as to say, Jason Richardson had a bigger impact in games than Monta Ellis that season.

So no.  He was obviously not the 2nd nor the 3rd option on that team.

Now take a look at their playoff stats where they all played together and were healthy.  Monta Ellis was actually the 6th scoring option behind Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Jason Richardson, Matt Barnes, and Al Harrington.

 Monta was never really given a chance in those playoffs due to his age and Nelson lack of trust in youthful players. Everyone knows Don Nelson’s biggest problem as a coach(aside from no D) is not sticking to what gets him somwhere. He’ll come back from a 15 point deffecit  playing one way and all of a sudden start to play the safe way. Such as taking out Monta even though his ability to get out on the break was part of what made that Warrior team so dangerous.

So you agree that he was not the 2nd or 3rd option on that team?
