I mean, Wall is (IMO) one of the 3 best athletes at the position...I can see why people would try to compare....but I just think Russ is on another level.

IMO,
Rose, Westbrook, Wall. It's debatable as to which order...but those are my 3.

Actually, pre-injury Rose is just as explosive as Russ I'd say.
That dunk on Dragic still gives me shivers.
If anyone is close, it's Rose.

Kyrie is no where near the best athlete at that position.
Best ATHLETES at that position (in no order)
Westbrook
Rose
Nate Robinson
Eric Bledsoe
Will Bynum
All of those dudes have BOUNCE, are strong, and a fast/quick.

To me, Wall doesn't have bounce like that. He has long arms. He can jump. But he isn't an elite level jumper.
He has world-class speed though.
Wall isn't on Russ/Rose's level though.
Or Bledsoe/Nate

Agree completely. And although he doesn't show it that much, I think Lillard's just as athletic as Irving.

Yeah Drew isn't as good as Rose, Westbrook, Wall (who needs to take that next step) ATHLETIC wise.
He's better than all of them in other aspects, though.

I was just spitballing, couldn't think of any other PGs other than Kyrie
I forgot about Bledsoe.
Nate Rob and Bynum (I'm sorry) don't do too much for me, in terms of in-game athleticism.

John Wall is every bit as athletic as Russell Westbrook.
Just different play styles. John Wall is a pure point guard (on a team devoid of talent). Russell Westbrook is a combo (on a team full of talent). Different roles and play styles is all.
Wall=Westbrook=Rose as far as athleticism IMO.

We aren't talking about IN GAME though. And I can say Will doesn't display it all the time since he barely plays, but Nate ALWAYS shows his athleticism. ALWAYS. Not even just from dunks.I was just spitballing, couldn't think of any other PGs other than Kyrie

Wall is nowhere near as explosive as russ please end this discussion. Wall is fast and explosive but Russ is on another level.
Now rose and russ is a respectable comparison.

^I knew you were going to post that dunk
and if we aren't talking about in-game athleticism, then I would like to say, Isaiah Thomas

I've seen Wall's vertical measured at 39.5 (DX) to 43 (Grant Wahl - Sports Illustrated). DC, it's more than just Wall having long arms....to me, he's ridiculously elite with the athleticism.

Zeke ain't got the bounce that Nate/Will/Bledsoe have.^I knew you were going to post that dunk

Zeke has a little bounce though.
And he is strong.
