1. Damian Lillard

3. John Wall
3a. Kyrie Irving
5. Ty Lawson
5a. Michael Carter Williams
This is a tough list solely on career so far or performance this year.
Lillard is clearly the one with an unlimited ceiling, and he's gelled with his teammates a lot easier than the rest.
Jrue Holiday is coming off an All Star season, considering that was by default because the other top PGs in the East were hurt. He's helping the Pelicans make some moves in the West, especially with some of the older teams falling off, and he's finding AD in the right spots to help his game. They are a healthy player or two from a legit team built around AD and Jrue, but right now they too young.
John Wall hasn't done anything in the league, but you can see that this past off season he's improved in areas where people complained the most about him. He's averaging 20 and 9 and he's finally shown a jumper and getting his teammates involved. The verdict is still out on his ceiling, which he moved up with his improved play this season. Irving is the same way, but he's come into the league an imposing 1on1 player with the ability to get the rack whenever he wants due to his handles, and that leads to him scoring often. He's in the same boat as Wall, except people are caught up in his And1 type handling and rate him higher solely on that, but he's just the same as Wall in many aspects of his game.
Ty Lawson is a solid PG, but I truly believe he's peaked at his game, unless he's put into pressure situations. I think he could be doing more for Denver, but that could be coaching. He plays like a veteran and I don't see his career peaking any higher. His career will be about the same as it is now, until he gets older and he's on a contending team and helps them out.
Michael Carter Williams should be in this discussion of top young PGs. the boy is a potential walking triple double, and a true game changer. Philly is 1-11 without him in the lineup. The only issue he will have to deal with is his health. i can see that he's injury prone and it's going to plague him his entire career.
