He absolutely cannot take over a game scoring the way Curry can, let alone on a regular basis. Curry has turned into an outstanding playmaker. On that side of the ball, it is an easy decision, which is no knock on Paul. Defensively, Paul is a stronger, savvier player. Very good in the team scheme, but can also create turnovers.

I like both guys though. Russy is sort of an all-in-one machine, like a tank that can turn into a race car. Irving is still evolving in terms of his identity and ability; losing time to injury and shitty teams leaves me with an incomplete impression of him. He could go either way, and that hasn't changed with LeBron's arrival in fact I think it's throw it more up in the air if he will play a more traditional one or stick as more of a ball-dominating two (think Wade, Iverson).
