Is Pau the Best 2nd Best player in the league?

Mark Jackson has been consistenty bringing up the topic of best “second best player” in the league and finally, Andrew Katz writes a simple post pointing out others that might be up for consideration:

Here are some other names to consider:

* Caron Butler – A healthy Gilbert Arenas might not be “Top 5″ in the League as he said before this season, but he is still an elite player.
* Mo Williams – His game went to another level when he became the official No. 2 to LeBron.
* Devin Harris – When VC wants to play, Devin is definitely the second fiddle. Unfortunately that isn’t always the case.
* David West – If it weren’t for CP3, would West be a No. 2 option? Some think that his All-Star status would vanish if he weren’t playing next to Paul.
* Carlos Boozer – He’ll still be the second-best player on his squad if he ends up on South Beach.
* LaMarcus Aldridge – Though he doesn’t really belong in the same class as these other guys just yet, he’s well on his way.
