Top 10 PG's

Point Guards



1. Jason Kidd

He is definately the best PG in the league and at 6'4" he has great size. That is what makes him a triple-double threat every night. He could probably lead ANY team in the entire league to the playoffs. He is that good. He can dominate a game without scoring a point...

2. Baron Davis

I know some of you may be saying, "what about Payton?", well Baron Davis is better. Davis really stepped it up this year and did it when his team needed him. Just like Kidd, Davis is a triple-double threat, as he showed in the playoffs. This kid is ready to explode and could end up taking that #1 slot. Great rebounder for his height...

3. Gary Payton

See you guys, he didn't fall far. Gary Payton may be getting older, but he is still a great player. He took a young team in Seattle into the playoffs, which will be valuable to them down the road. He is still capable of taking over a game with his scoring and he has at least 3-5 good years left...

4. Andre Miller

Some people say he is overrated and I say they are crazy. This man can play and he leads the league in assists. He is what a PG is supposed to be. His shooting needs to improve, but he is still fairly young and he has a chance to make a jump on this list...

5. Steve Francis

Mr. Headache is still a great player. Look at those rebound totals! That is what b-ball is all about. He should be an inspiration to all the small guys that get boxed out. Francis definately has a multi-dimensional game. Look for him to lead the Rockets into the playoffs next year...

6. Stephon Marbury

Everyone likes to pick on this guy and call him selfish, but the fact is, he gets the job done. He probably has some of the best handles in the game and is great and dishing to teammates. He isn't Jason Kidd, but who is? Stephon is the better shooter of the two...

7. Steve Nash

IMO, he is a product of the run-n'-gun system he is in. He is in a PG friendly offense and he has taken advantage of the situation. He is probably the best shooting PG in the league and is a great disher to boot. He needs to improve his leadership skills and become that floor general that the Mavs need. He can't just settle for 3's...

8. Mike Bibby

This guy probably should be higher. Sure his numbers were low, but he didn't need to score much in Sacto during the regular season. He proved to be the real leader out West and the only player man enough to take and make a clutch shot in the WCF. He is only going to get better with age. He has a good stroke and is very quick off the dribble...

9. Sam Cassell

E.T. is still going strong. IMO, he is the real leader of that team and if they are going to trade anyone, it shouldn't be Sam. This guy is a master at the mid-range game and he creates for that garbage they call a front-court. Sam is very underrated IMO and he is always snubbed come all-star time. It's a shame...

10. John Stockton

It is really amazing that John is still doing his thing. Stockton to Malone is slowing down, but John is still a top 10 PG in this league. He is always money in the clutch and is a great defender. He is second to none when it comes to creating for his teammates...

I'd probably rate Nash a little higher as PG and drop Marbury despite the numbers. I think there is no question that Nash runs his team a lot better than Marbury runs his.

Cassell has impressive numbers too, but everyone can see he takes ill-advised shots.

Kobe over T-Mac??? Hey, I suppose it's your list. On mine, they'd switch places.

Quite a drop off from Shaq to the rest of the centres, isn't it?

For point guards I think you're ranking Dre Miller way too low. He's top 3 at least IMO.

ALLAN HOUSTON?!?!?! TOP 10 SG?!?!?

That's why you DONT use stats all the time. Houston is a one-dimentional player. He's a shooter, not a scorer, not a defender, not anything. JUST A SHOOTER.

He's not even the best 2 on his team!

And what about Eddie Jones? Bonzi Wells? Don't always use stats. IMO Spree, Wells and Jones are all top 10.

Antawn Jamison is NOT a top 10 SF. He's not even a small forward! He should be playing the 4 anyway, that's where he averaged 24.9 points a game!

I'd personally place MJ ahead of Rose. Like I said, DON'T USE STATS TO DECIDE!!! Stats don't always tell the story. Rose wasn't averaging near what he did for the Bulls when he was on the Pacers, a playoff team.

And Sprewell is a shooting guard. He's playing out of position because Houston can't play the 3.

Now Danny Fortson DEFINATELY does NOT belong on the top 10 pf list. All he does is camp and rebound! What about Antonio Daivs? Hell Marcus Camby is better than Fortson!

Now for the centers. Again, WHERE IS ANTONIO DAVIS?!?!?! ELDEN CAMPBELL?!?! Hell even Jamaal Magloire?

David Robinson isn't even a top 10 center anymore IMO. He played like crap last year. Also Kandi Man is ranked far too high.

DON'T USE STATS MY FRIEND!!!

About Rose, his minutes went up, so of course his stats are going to get better. IMO, it had nothing to do with him not being on a playoff team. For example, Brad Miller actually scored more points with the Pacers than with the Bulls.

Yeah

He's the greatest. He is still the best SF, that is, if you consider Pierce to be a SG. And I consider Pierce to be a SG.:yes:
