Where do you Pistons fans rate this guy? I think he earned his way into the top 10 among point guards with his second half of the season play. He also was a star during the early portion of the playoffs until spraining his ankle.
1. Jason Kidd
2. Steve Nash
3. Gary Payton
4. Stephon Marbury
5. Sam Cassell
6. <b>Chauncey Billups</b>
Can you honestly say you'd rather have Tony Parker, Gil Arenas, Andre Miller, or Mike Bibby at this point? What about Troy Hudson, Eric Snow, or Jason Williams? I think Billups at this point is better than all the above.

Billups proved to me that he can be a good leader. But his assists per game is pathetically bad for a PG. For this reason, not to mention his defense is terrible (0.9 STL/game, that's pathetic!!!).. I'd rate him behind Kidd, Payton, Marbury, Iverson, Cassell, Nash, Francis, Terry, and Arenas.
He's definitely better than Hudson, Snow, and Williams though.
And I don't see him fading too much. The only PGs that *could* jump ahead of him next year would be Andre Miller (if he bounces back) or Tony Parker. But I'll still put him up there as a lock for the top 10, but in no way is he a top 5, or even top 7 for that matter.
