Rank the best peaks among these guards in the 21st century: Kobe, Curry, CP3, Nash, SGA, Wade, Harden, Luka, Kidd.
These are probably the best guard peaks of the century so far - Westbrook, Lillard, Rose, and Iverson are also up there but IMO just not quite at these guys' level.
Some per 100 stats for context, along with era adjusted efficiency, EPM ranks, and playoff success:
06 Kobe: 46/7/6 on +2 rTS% and 4 turnovers. Not top 5 in EPM. 1st round loss.
09 Wade: 42/7/10 on +3 rTS% and 5 turnovers. 4th in EPM. 1st round loss.
