Here We Go top Ten Players at the Point




An interesting year for point guards. last year saw the emergence of two guards that will only get better. Derek Rose, and Rajon Rondo (hey.. where is this guy from?). Since the crop is getting crowed i had to make some tuff decisions here are my top ten for the season..






Chris Paul (Hornets, 22. 11. 5.) A real no-brainer, but on this I have to say is Billups was stellar against him. This made things interesting as to who comes after him..




2a. Deron Williams (Jazz 18.10.3) Still effective, still can shoot. will get better as he progresses.. But if boozer leaves can he handle the pressure to succeed?




2b. Chauncey Billups (Nuggets 18.6.2.) As close to a valuable guard as you can get has all the in tangables of a point guard and the main thing why he's up here... He wins... Just ask Carmelo how valuable he is... he's up there..




4. Jason Kidd (Mavs 9.8.6) Still effective in his 16th year in the NBA. Not as defensive stopper as he used to be but then again he averaged 2 steals last season. the mavs are fortunate he hasn't slowed down. Shawn Marion meet the guy who might get you another all star selection..




5. Steve Nash (Suns 15.9.3) was exposed las. season as a defensive liability (even though he was never a defensive stopper his whole career) Nash still had stellar numbers but without A'mare to feed the ball to the suns missed the playoffs. Who's more valuable Nash or Stoudemire?? neither of them.. it's Steve Kerr... he's the suns MVP..




6. Tony Parker ( Spurs 19.6.3) Il est tres mieux vite.... Translation: fast Rapide.. Still the best at making adjustments by the basket ( Derek Rose might give him a run for his money) still puts up all star numbers and with Jefferson on board his assists should go up too.




7.Mike Bibby (Hawks 18.5.3.) More valuable than i thought... He has molded the hawks into a run and gun team that creates matchup problems for every team.. we know he can shoot. he's a decent defender... Look for the hawks to regain their form again if he's running the show. Him and Billups shows you how valuable a point guard can be.




8. Derek Rose (bulls 14.8.3) A toss up between him and Rondo, but Rose might be a step quicker (I'm, probably splitting hairs). A decent shooter and passer as well as a free throw shooter (ask Rondo about that). He will be an all star. Bright future.




9. Rajon Rondo (Celtics 14.7.6.) In the playoffs he put up Kidd Numbers. Probably the quickest PG in the game now Srry Parker. his flaw is his shooting which makes him a liability on the floor with Garnett who likes to pass out of the post.




10.Baron Davis (Clippers 18.8.3) Kind of lost on the list because if he has a great year he in the top five.. if he doesn't then he's in the bottom five him and billups are probably the strongest PG's in the game. Hopefully he doesn't get lost in the clippers again... Blake Griffin will make things exciting for B-Diddy. I can see a lot of highlight footage.. hopefully for them that footage doesn't always have to end with "despite the loss".....






Notables ( of course Arenas if he can stay healthy. Jameer nelson another one who was injured.. Andre Miller, can he do the same thing that Billups and Bibby have done with his new team? Devin Harris on one of my fave teams eventhough they look like a dleague team now. Stellar play from him in the first half of the season got him his first all.star selection.. and you know who he can thank....... Yi Jianlian..... he can thak Yi.....)




SG's Next.... you know who's Number One....
