Top 5 Point Guards In The NBA (2009-2010 Edition)

Top 5 Point Guards In The NBA (2009-2010 Edition)

It's the number one guy and everyone else. But for the sake of the list, I have to put five guys here and a few honorable mentions without naming half the players in the league ha.

1. CHRIS PAUL.



It's this guy, any everyone else. He does it all dynamically. Reminds me a lot of 1980s Isiah Thomas (and for those who only know him for ruining the CBA, Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks -- that's actually a HIGH COMPLIMENT).

2. RAJON RONDO.



It baffles me why Boston doesn't jump at the opportunity to extend this guy before waiting last minute (as they have, as of Nov. 1, 2009). He is so versatile. His "J" will come. He has excellent command of the ball and of the game in general. He is still learning when to score and when to just dish it, but he's been the reason why the Celtics have been so consistently good these past 2+ years -- not their "superstars" (two of whom are at that point of no return physically and age-wise; but don't tell that to C's fans).

3. TONY PARKER.



He disgusts me, but this is his 8th season of leading this Spurs team. There's something to be said about that, especially with an aging lineup that can't just go out and outscore anyone. There's something to be said about your point guard in a situation like that; serving as a calming and steadying influence.

4. DERON WILLIAMS.



He has the build and court vision that it takes to be a potentially great point guard. He can score at will and shoot it from deep. He shoots a good percentage at the line and doesn't do anything that costs his team. That's what you want in a point guard.

5. DEVIN HARRIS.



He's all the Nets have. There has to be something said for that.

Honorable Mention: Derrick Rose (developing a "J"), Jose Calderon, Rodney Stuckey, Gilbert Arenas.
