Is Mike Conley the "best" young point guard in the league?
Andrew Leff put together interesting analysis on his blog Sports Statistics. He posed the question "Who's the REAL Best Point Guard (Under-24 Division)?"

Finally some love...
At some point last season Mike Conley was labeled as the worst starting Point Guard in the league. Now this, hell of a turnaround Mr.Conley
Eh...not sure I agree.
I am a MC supporter. He is playing at a higher level than he has ever played in his short career. BUT he is head and shoulders beneath Westbrook and D Rose right now and he’s been in the league at least a year or two than both.
Also, MC is a good/above average off the ball defender but struggles vs. quicker PGs…he is below average in one v. one matchups.
After saying all this, beside ZBo, he is the most important piece to this year’s team.
I don't think Conley is horrible,
I’m not entirely sure what he did, but it doesn’t look overly complicated.. Clearly too simple, and simply inaccurate. But c’mon now. The fact that team winning percentage went into the equation at all is ridiculous, and it seems to have quite a bit of weight to it as well. D-Rose is the current leader in the MVP race, but he’s apparently the 4th best PG under 24 years old? C’mon.

Ok well this is a joke
Conley is not even close to as good as Rose, Westbrook, or Curry.
