Top 30 NBA Point Guards

Chris Paul is for real. He lead the New Orleans Hornets from no playoffs the year before to the 2 spot in the highly competitive West. He's extremely dangerous to other teams when it comes to decison making. From pulling up for a jumper, to driving in the lane to dishing it back out to an open teammate, they're all possibilities for him in just one play. He is the best point guard in the NBA. Player (Current Team/Former Team) PPG, RPG, APG, SPG * = Best in Category (R) = Rookie Steals 1+ Shown 1. Chris Paul (NOH) 21.1, 4, 11.6*, 2.7* 2. Baron Davis (GSW) 21.8*, 4.7, 7.6, 2.3 3. Deron Williams (UTA) 18.8, 3, 10.5, 1.1 4. Tony Parker (SAS) 18.8, 3.2, 6 5. Steve Nash (PHX) 16.9, 3.5, 11.1 6. Gilbert Arenas (WAS) 19.4, 3.9, 5.4, 1.8 (13 Games) 7.

Jamal Crawford (NYK) 20.6, 2.6, 5, 1 12. Raymond Felton (CHA) 14.4, 3, 7.4, 1.2 13. Jamaal Tinsley (IND) 11.9, 3.6, 8.4, 1.7 (39 Games) 14. Jose Calderon (TOR) 11.2, 2.9, 8.3 1.1 15. Rafer Alston (HOU) 13.1, 3.5, 5.3, 1.3 16. Rajon Rondo (BOS) 10.6, 4.2, 5.1, 1.7 17. Devin Harris (NJN/DAL) 14.8, 2.7, 5.8, 1.4 18. Kirk Hinrich (CHI) 11.5, 3.3, 6, 1.2 19. T.J. Ford (TOR) 12.1, 2, 6.1, 1.1 20. Beno Udrih (SAC) 12.8, 3.3, 4.3 21. Derek Fisher (LAL) 11.7, 2.1, 2.9, 1 22. Mike Bibby (ATL/SAC) 13.9, 3.3, 6, 1.1 23. Jameer Nelson (ORL) 10.9, 3.5, 4.6 24. Sam Cassell (BOS/LAC) 11.2, 2.5, 3.9 25. Nate Robinson (NYK) 12.7, 3.1, 2.9 26. Louis Williams (PHI) 11.5, 2.1, 3.2, 1 27. Daniel Gibson (CLE) 10.4, 2.3, 2.5 28. Delonte West (CLE/SEA) 8.3, 3.2, 3.8, 1 29. (R) Mike Conley (MEM) 9.4, 2.6, 4.2 30. Kyle Lowry (MEM) 9.6, 3, 3.6, 1.1 Just Missed It Ramon Sessions (MIL) 11.5, 4.9, 11.3, 1.5, (10 Games April) Antonio Daniels (WAS) 8.4, 2.9, 4.8, 1 Sebastian Telfair (MIN) 8.3, 2.3, 5.9, 1 Just a few things to say before I wrap this up. Jamal Crawford, he's a shooting guard running the point. He did pretty good, but Nate Robinson really should have taken that spot, and he might get that chance with Mike D'Antoni heading to New York and Marbury possibly opting out or getting traded. In fact a lot of players in the NBA are going to get their chance to shine in the NBA soon. A lot of the star veterans are nearing retirement. Players like Steve Nash, Chauncey Billups, Allen Iverson, Shaq, Dirk Nowitzki, even Shawn Marion turned 30 a few days ago. Soon they'll start to break down and eventually retire, making room for the younger guys to take charge. In a few years, the NBA's going to be a whole differnt game.

    Jamal Crawford is not a PG. But the rest is looking pretty good to me. My vote for best rankings right here. phillyfitz, you have pg and C mixed up. There is actually quite a few good PGs. And Baron is without a doubt a true PG. haha how isnt he?

  • GSG831 said May 13, 2008

    I think you should have also included TO in your assesment. I agree Monta should be on the list but he is not the 2nd best point in the league as some suggest. Im fine with BD at 2 we all know he got snubbed for the all star game. But their is another player who should be somewhere in the middle of this list if not the top 10. Jose Calderon. In 30.1 minutes Jose averaged 11.2 Points, 2.9 Rebounds, 8.3 Assists, 1.1 Steals, and most impressive of all 1.54 TURNOVERS a game. He also shot .519 from the field, .429 from 3 and .908 at the line. He shot a better percentage than most gaurds in the league. He also averaged 8 minutes less playing time then the other gaurds on this list.

    here's the problem with this list:

    there are two new york knicks on it.

    Jamaal Crawford takes the dumbest shots I have ever seen in my life, and rarely gets over 6 assists a game, something I'd at least expect of someone to make #11 on this list. That team was an absolute $ht show this year, and if this list should prove anything, it's that teams with good point guards are winning teams.

    Also, 1 - CP3, 2 - Nash, 3 - D Willay

    In my opinion, Calderon should be higher. I'd put him just below Miller. I'd put Jamal Tinsley quite a bit lower -- not only is he a cancerous locker room presence, he is one of the least durable players in the league and turns it over at a high rate.

    Overall, pretty good list. It's impossible to please everyone since it's so subjective.

    Whoa, how is Steve Nash lower than Tony Parker? The entire offense was structured around him. And if you look at his shooting averages, he's also more efficient than Deron Williams.

    I'm not sure overall I like this list as much as the other ones.

    I'd put Rondo higher because of his defense, and Kyle Lowry higher because I'm shamelessly biased toward 'Nova guys who can't shoot very well. Does anyone else think Monta Ellis should be on this list? He ran point for a good portion of the season.

      I agree Dewey...Just replace Baron with Monta. As much as I love Baron and his amazing contribution to the Warriors Monta I feel should replace him on this list
