If you made Curry, Westbrook, CP3, Lillard, Irving, and Harden play in winning NBA offenses from around the league. Which player would perform the highest on average?

Throw those guys in the following offenses: GS, SAS, LAC, POR, CLE, TOR, OKC, HOU, MEM, MIL, PHX.

Who would have the highest mix of wins and individual stats?

My vote is for Irving. Of the guys in the list, he is the only one that doesn't have the offense built or run around him as the focal point. That's not to say he isn't A focal point, but with Lebron on your team, we know who eats first.

Curry. His shooting fits in any offense. He's proven he can create for others with the ball in his hands or score coming off screens/cuts. He's not a great 1:1 defender, but is a solid team defender. He'd be a beast on any of the teams mentioned.

Since this is all about offense, it's Curry no doubt. His ridiculous skill fits into any system.

I go Kyrie/Steph. Neither needs to ball dominant to be effective, both move well without the ball.

I'd take Steph. Westbrook, who is currently leading the poll, lacks the shot and the personality to thrive in a GSW-esque system.

I gave it to steph too.

The breakdown of the poll versus the actual poll title is a big disparity. Looking at the poll title, I would have assumed that versatile would imply the total package...defense, offense, shooting, passing, leadership, attitude, fire, yadda, yadda.

Isolating it to just the ability to play and excel within various systems as the OP descriptor is a huge difference. I think many people didn't go pass the title...

I think that's a part of the reason Westbrook is getting big votes. No way if it's based on the criteria of the OP would be #1. Based on the post title? Yeah, I'd give it to Westbrook.

Curry.

RW has low BB IQ. Irving has great handles and shooting, but Curry is better play maker imo. I'd say better scorer too though he was below par in finals.

I went with Curry simply because his out-of-this-world shooting would go with any system and any teammates.

That said, I'd be happy with any of these guys. Well, maybe less so Harden.

I like Irvings handles much more than Curry, but Curry is a better shooter when he's on. I think Irving is all around more versatile and isn't as much of a one trick pony as Curry is.
