Dame brings the ball up the floor and distributes, but he is shoot first. Kyrie is not really much a of a playmaker, and now he's essentially the 2 for Brooklyn. Steph works off the ball all the time, like a 2 (helps to have an all-time great passing 4). Westbrook is a playmaker but not really a distributor... he doesn't run plays, he mostly just drives and kicks (and is excellent at it).

IDK, it's hard to rank greats at a single position because a lot of HOF level players are good enough that they transcend the traditional bounds of their role.

Anyways all that aside at this point I'd for sure have CP3 above Dame, Kyrie, and Westbrook. Probably not Curry, if we're calling him a point guard. This could of course change once all of these players are retired.
Ahem.
