Default Rank currrent NBA point guards

This is actually not an easy exercise. You have guys like Nash and Kidd that are slipping, and then you have some young guys that are coming on. Then you have Rafer Alston, who has erupted.

1. Chris Paul

3. Allen Iverson
4. Deron Williams
5. Chauncey Billups
6. Tony Parker
7. Baron Davis
8. Jason Kidd

If I were picking a pick up team, that's probably my order.

It's so cute when Mike pretends to know something about the NBA.

It's also cute when you pretend not to know a thing or two about vaseline.

This is a hard excercise because am I looking for a point guard to start a franchise with, or am I looking for a point guard to win one game. So I will do it like this, if I had to win a title in the next 3 seasons who would I want as my point guard.

1. Chris Paul
2. Deron Williams
3. Steve Nash
4. Chauncey Billups
5. Baron Davis
6. Jason Kidd
7. Allen Iverson
8. Jose Calderon
9. Rafer Alston
10. Andre Miller

11. Gilbert Arenas (higher if healthy)
12. Devin Harris
13. Leandro Barbosa
14. Mo Williams
15. Rajon Rondo
16. Jordan Farmar
17. Mike Bibby
18. Antonio Daniels
19. Beno Udrih
20. Jameer Nelson

That's why I based mine off one game. Good call on Calderon. He's going to be a good one. And if Arenas is healthy, he's in my top 5.

I would rank it this way:
1. Steve Nash
2. Chris Paul
3. Deron Williams
4. Chauncey Billups
5. Tony Parker
6. Jason Kidd
7. Andre Miller
8. Gilbert Arenas

Steve Nash is still too fabulous to not have at the top...but with that said, if I am looking for a point guard for the next 5 years, then he drops quite a bit.

Sheesh Mike, Rafer is a decent enough point guard, but I can think of about 20 other point guards I would take above him. He makes Jason Kidd look like a freakin' sharp shooter. He is an average passer at best as well. I will check his numbers in a little while, but I would be shocked if he shoots better than 40% from the field and I know that he has never gotten close to sniffing 10 assists a game...probably never even close to 8 assists a game.

Wow Iverson doesn't even crack your top 8. But like a good Ute fan you have Miller up there.
