  1. Chris Paul, Hornets
  Age: 23
  PER: 30.99
  He's the best point guard in the league, regardless of of age.
  
  2. Deron Williams, Jazz
  Age: 24
  PER: 16.82
  Better jumper than CP3, but doesn't have his quickness or vision.
  
  3. Derrick Rose, Bulls
  Age: 20
  PER: 17.51
  What he's doing in his rookie year (18.7 points, 5.8 assists) is phenomenal.
  
  4. Devin Harris, Nets
  Age: 25
  PER: 27.81
  He's absolutely blowing up – 24.8 points, 6.1 assists - right before our very eyes. That sound you hear is Mark Cuban grinding his teeth.
  
  5. Mo Williams, Cavs
  Age: 23
  PER: 15.91
  Mo is still figuring things out on the defensive end, but he's a nice sidekick for LeBron, despite the so-so FG% (43.7%).
  
  6. Rajon Rondo, Celtics
  Age: 22
  PER: 18.73
  Handled the point during the C's championship run. Does it with passing (7.2 assists) and defense (2.2 steals).
  
  7. Ramon Sessions, Bucks
  Age: 22
  PER: 17.67
  It was Sessions, not Ridnour, that prompted the Bucks to trade Mo Williams away. 15.6 points and 5.8 assists indicates he's the point guard of the future in Milwaukee.
  
  8. Jordan Farmar, Lakers
  Age: 22
  PER: 14.84
  He's struggling with his shot this season (41.9%) and is still playing behind Derek Fisher.
  (I would of put DJ Augustin in place of Jordan Farmar but still a good list..)
  
  9. Nate Robinson, Knicks
  Age: 24
  PER: 17.88
  He's thriving in Mike D'Antoni's system (14.5 points, 4.2 asissts), but at just 5' 9", is he limited in his upside?
  
  10. Russell Westbrook, Thunder
  Age: 20
  PER: 15.06
  He just joined the starting lineup, but is still averaging 12.3 points and 4.1 assists.
  
  Before you blast me for missing a player or two, be sure to check his age. All these guys are 25 years-old or younger

  nice list CP3 and Deron Williams are going to be the Face of the position for years to come..... meanwhile Devin Harris is the beast of East with the way he's taking charge for the Nets

  What about Raymond Felton as an honorable mention? On a better team, could probably be more efficient...

  Though his stats are just starting to be consistenit, Mario Chalmers is going to be great. I hate to say it, being a Tiger fan and all, but I enjoyed watching him and the Heat play the Suns the other day. He's gonna do great things. The kids already got a game with 9 steals, he can shoot his lights out (insert the pic of the knife in my heart), and can dish the rock.

  mo williams is actually 26 years old, not 23. either way he is to high, he's only a scorer (the same with felton), rondo is a better pg.

    Actually his b-day is 12/19 according to ESPN, so he's still 25. I fixed his age on my site, but I can't fix UNC's post since he copied and pasted the list in.
    
    Mo is not just a scorer. He has averaged 6+ assists in three of the five seasons in which he got significant minutes. Is he more of a scorer than a passer? Yes, but he's not "only a scorer."

      I was trying to leave a comment on Jordan Farmar and how you left off DJ Augustin..
