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
2. Steve Nash
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.

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

1. Chris Paul/Deron William in a tie.

Paul has the best record right now in the West. Deron has an overwhelming better head to head record and overall team success thus far and has also proven to be more durable.

2. Steve Nash. On the decline now, but still one of the best.

3. Tony Parker. Almost as bad of a flopper as Ginobili, but his impact and presence is undeniable.

4. Chauncey Billups. One of the more underated PG's of the last 8 years. Doesn't nearly get the love he deserves and has earned.

5. Allen Iverson. Will go down as one of the toughest little big men in league history. If Chris Paul had his durability & toughness I'd rank him ahead of D-Will.

6. Andre Miller. There's just no denying the impact he's had on the Sixers this year. The guy has been consistently good every team he's played on and is often overlooked and over passed because of flashy guys.

I don't include Gilbert Arenas..he's not a point guard.

Jason Kidd has fallen significantly in the past year.

Baron Davis is more concerned with style over substance, even in light of his sick athleticism....still durability issues put him down the list as well.

Devin Harris is a major up and comer and the Mavericks will rue the day they gave him up for a washed up Jason Kidd who never could shoot worth a darn anyway.

Mike Bibby has had a resurgence in Atlanta and is the reason why the Hawks might make the playoffs. Course in the crappy Eastern Conference if you don't make the playoffs then you're just brutal.

Rafer Alston has been fantastic for Houston since early January.

Kirk Heinrich...definetly in the Top ten and I think is underated, however there's no questioning that he's really had a down year this season.
