Junkie will back me up on this. Also, Nash as the top pick is bad, bad, bad. He might be the worst defender on Junkie's entire list. And guess what, defense is where you spend half your time as a player. |

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.

I really like Iverson, but he is really not a point guard and that is why he is not on the list...you could make the same case for Arenas, but Arenas is a better player now than Iverson. Miller has been absolutely terrific this year. Years past, probably would not have been on the list, but this year, absolutely.

Telling stats of Rafer: 39.7% from the field (38.7% career shooter) 5.4 assists per game (there is no reason he should not be averaging more here) 2.1 turnovers per game (assist to turnover ratio is pretty low) Rafer is active on defense...and yes, there are at least 10 other point guards in the league that I would take over Rafer without hesistation.

Rafer has gone from a name no one had heard of, or at least a name that no one considered anything more than a journeyman, to being on the cusp of being a household name and star.
He has to go on the list, if only on the basis of momentum. |

A few things:
1. Alston during the 22 game win streak averaged 16 and 8 assists while shooting 47% from the floor. 2. I dont think Deron has Owned Paul as bad as most like to believe. Here are the numbers: Rookie Season Deron won 3 games to 1, the numbers: D-will 17 points 3 assists, Paul 15.8 points 7.3 assists. 2nd season Paul missed one game against Utah, so they went 1-1 head to head. Deron 15.5 points and 11.5 assists, Paul 13.0 points 12.0 assists. this season Utah is up 2-1, Deron 21 points 9 assists, Paul 15 points 10 assists. They have both put up good numbers against each other. Also overall season numbers: Paul: 21.5 points 11.5 assists,4.0 rebounds, 2.7 steals, shooting 49.1% from the floor in 37.7 minutes per game and his team has the best record in the West. Williams: 19.2 points, 10.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals, shooting 51% from the floor in 37.6 minutes per game and his team has the 5th best record in the West.

If he is on the cusp of being a star, then there are about 200 Gods playing in the NBA.
