1.) Chris Paul | New Orleans Hornets | 2 yrs $8.19 million
No point guard runs a team better or means more to his team's success than Nash.
2.) Deron Williams | Utah Jazz | 2 yrs $9.02 million
Could have been the best point guard in NBA history if he had a deadly jumper.
3.) Tony Parker | San Antonio Spurs | 4 yrs $48.15 million
Another two years and he'll be the best point guard in the NBA.
4.) Steve Nash | Phoenix Suns | 3 yrs $36.75 million
Broke out last year and established his place in the league during the playoffs.
5.) Baron Davis | Golden State Warriors | 2 yrs $33.62 million
Most entertaining PG off the court. Great swag on the court.
6.) Gilbert Arenas | Washington Wizards | 1 yr $11.94 million
He may end up being a "if only he hadn't been injured" type of player.
7.) Chauncey Billups | Detroit Pistons | 5 yrs $60 million
Speaking of, what if he wasn't injured every year?
8.) Jose Calderon | Toronto Raptors | 1 yr $2.47 million
Most overrated point guard. Hasn't had more than 2 good seasons.
9.) Rajon Rondo | Boston Celtics | 3 yrs $5.64 million
Last year was an abberation. He'll return to form this season.
10.) Andre Miller | Philadelphia 76ers | 2 yrs $19.36 million
Fewer PGs that are better passers....in league history.
11.) Jason Kidd | Dallas Mavericks | 2 yrs $41.1 million
He might have a drug problem.
12.) Devin Harris | New Jersey Nets | 1 yr $3.99 million
Best defensive point guard in all of basketball. Can lock down Dwyane Wade anytime.
13.)Mike Bibby | Atlanta Hawks | 2 yrs $28 million
The ultimate locker room guy. He made the right decision by playing in a city that could accomodate his daughter's needs.
14.) T.J. Ford | Toronto Raptors | 4 yrs $33 million
This guy is scary good already and is going to be a fantastic point guard.
15.) Monta Ellis | Golden State Warriors | 1 yr $770kSteve Francis | Houston Rockets | 1 yr $3 million
5 years ago, if you had told me that Steve Francis couldn't find playing time and/or a job, I'd have laughed in your face.
16.) Maurice Williams | Milwaukee Bucks | 6 yrs, $52 million
Emerged that last few years as a good point guard that is tough to guard.
17.) Derek Fisher | Los Angeles Lakers | 3 yrs $18 millionSam Cassell | Los Angeles Clippers | 1 yr $6.15 million
His body has failed him, but he's still the guy I'd want running my team in the 4th quarter.
18.) Kyle Lowry | Memphis Grizzlies | 3 yrs $4.28 million
Needs a bounce back season in a big way to earn a big contract extension.
19.) Raymond Felton | Charlotte Bobcats | 2 yrs $7.42 million
Should be the starter in Toronto.
20.) Kirk Hinrich | Chicago Bulls | 5 yrs $47.5 millionJason Terry | Dallas Mavericks | 5 yrs $49.31 million
His contract is more of a killer than he is. Not the scorer he used to be.
21.) Beno Udrih | Sacramento Kings | 1 yr. $1.74 million
Had a tough season last year but should have more weapons to utilize this year.
22.) Delonte West | Cleveland Cavaliers | 1 yr $1.89 million
Is a fine point guard but shouldn't be ahead of Calderon.
23.) Derrick Rose | Chicago Bulls | 1 yr $1.89 million
What is that thing on his lip? Did he always have that or did he pick it up in college?
24.) Antonio Daniels | Washington Wizards | 3 yrs $18.6 million
Has a lot of competition now for the starting job in Portland.
25.) Rafer Alston | Houston Rockets | 3 yrs $14.7 million
Scott Skiles has a hard time keeping him off the court.
26.) Jameer Nelson | Orlando Magic | 1 yr $1.96 million
Needs to learn how to create offense for other people.
27.) Rodney Stuckey | Detroit Pistons | 4 yrs $7.83 million
This is a guy with all the talent in the world but just doesn't care about sacrificing his own wants and needs for his team.
28.) Jamaal Tinsley | indiana Pacers | 4 yrs $27.75 million
Still has a lot of basketball maturing to do but will be a very good point guard for years to come.
29.) Jarrett Jack | Portland Trailblazers | 2 yrs $3.22 million
His knees have betrayed him, but he can still run a team and a fastbreak.
30.) Russell Westbrook | Oklahoma City Thunder |
Will have his first year as the full-time point guard, and should be able to create a lot of offense.
31.) Luke Ridnour | Seattle Supersonics | 3 yrs $19.5 million
The most NBA ready point guard in his draft class and will challenge for the starting job by mid-season.
32.) Chucky Atkins | Denver Nuggets | 2 yrs. $6.6 million
Luke doesn't play much defense, but he can shoot the lights out and is one of the flashiest passers in the game.
33.) Stephon Marbury | New York Knicks | 2 yrs $42.04 million
Probably the best rebounding point guard besides Jason Kidd. Has health issues constantly and will probably never play a complete season.
34.) Earl Watson | Seattle Supersonics | 3 yrs $18.6 million
A very underrated backup point guard who has the speed and composure to cause lots of matchup problems.
35.) Jerryd Bayless | Portland Trailblazers |
Was TERRIBLE for the Wolves last year after having his breakout year in Toronto. Should be much better back in Houston this year.
36.) Randy Foye | Minnesota Timberwolves | 3 yrs $9.02 million
Is a great floor general that doesn't get frazzled. Will be a starter for years.
37.) Mike Conley | Memphis Grizzlies | 4 yrs $15.79 million
He's just about ready to take over for Jason Kidd, as soon as Kidd is ready to relinquish it.
38.) Daniel Gibson | Cleveland Cavaliers | 1 yr $687k
He's looking like a backup now with the way Conley has played so far in Summer League.
39.) Mario Chalmers | Miami Heat |
A streetball legend that hasn't quite been able to adjust to dominate in the NBA. He's a bad shooter but a great playmaker.
40.) Sebastian Telfair | Minnesota Timberwolves | 1 yr $2.56 million
Is high on everyone's list since his breakout playoff season. But I have to ask, why didn't he show this until then? Is it THAT hard to beat out Damon Jones and Eric Snow?
41.) Chris Duhon | Chicago Bulls | 1 yr $3.25 million
One of the best point guard defenders and distributors in the league.
42.) Jordan Farmar | Los Angeles Lakers | 3 yrs $6.91 million
He was a bust last year after working so hard to get his big contract.
43.) Mike James | New Orleans Hornets | 3 yrs $18.14 million
Good shooter, good defender but not a great point guard. Great backup though.
44.) Bobby Jackson | Houston Rockets | 2 yrs $11.76 millionMarko Jaric | Minnesota Timberwolves | 4 yrs $27.35 million
Kevin McHale thought that Sam Cassell and a first round pick was a fair trade for this guy. Wolves fans would probably disagree.
45.) Brevin Knight | Los Angeles Clippers | 2 yrs. $4 million
Dumbest question that this guy hears all the time, "Is it hard adjusting to players this big in the NBA?" He's been this tall for a long time. I'm sure it's just the same as it's always been for him.
46.) Marcus Williams | New Jersey Nets | 3 yrs $4.52 million Shaun Livingston | Los Angeles Clippers | 1 yr $4.4 million
He has so much potential but his horrid knee injury will probably ruin his career.
47.) Eddie House | Boston Celtics |
Talkhoops.net writer, Cory Elfrink, is big on this guy as possibly the best point guard in this draft. I disagree, but so far in Summer League, he's proven Cory right and me wrong.
48.) Acie Law IV | Atlanta Hawks | 4 yrs $9.15 million
One of the best 4th quarter shooters from outside in the NBA.
49.) Luther Head | Houston Rockets | 2 yrs $3.08 millionDamon Stoudamire | San Antonio Spurs | 2 yrs $9 million
When he isn't getting pulled over for speeding and weed or when he isn't getting stopped in an airport for trying to smuggle weed onto a plane, he makes pretty good decisions.
50.) Sasha Vujacic | Los Angeles Lakers | 1 yr $1.75 millionNate Robinson | New York Knicks | 2 yrs $3.29 million
Just a terribly overrated player that will never be more than a backup on a bad team.
51.) Jannero Pargo | New Orleans Hornets | 2 yrs. $4 million
Gut check time for Bassy. He needs to get his life together and get stronger on the court to make a comeback.
52.) Keyon Dooling | Orlando Magic | 1 yr $3.59 million
Very valuable backup that deserves a long term contract.
53.) Marcus Banks | Miami Heat | 4 yrs $17.28 million
One of the best on-ball defenders in the league. Hard to get past him.
54.) Steve Blake | Portland Trailblazers | 3 yrsCarlos Arroyo | Orlando Magic | 1 yr $4 million
The Puerto Rican Player has fallen out of grace in Orlando and will probably bolt for a chance at more playing time next summer.
55.) D.J. Augustin | Charlotte Bobcats | 4 yrs
Solid defender and a decent scorer at the backup point guard position.
56.) Javaris Crittenton | Memphis Grizzlies | 4 yrs $6.42 million
My pick to be the best point guard out of this draft class. In 3 years, people will wonder how he fell to 30.
57.) Ramon Sessions | Milwaukee Bucks | Un-signed
He's a decent point guard that is lost in Phoenix's system. Hard to live up to the standard that Nash sets on the court.
58.) Ronnie Price | Utah Jazz | 2 yrs.
Looks like he'll be the backup once Phil completely trusts Javaris.
59.) Roger Mason | San Antonio Spurs | Smush Parker | Miami Heat | 2 yrs. $4.6 million
I'm shocked he lasted this long in the league. Go play in Europe, William.
60.) Lindsey Hunter | Detroit Pistons | 1 yr $2.25 millionTyronn Lue | Sacramento Kings | 1 yr $3.5 million
He may look like a woman, but he plays like an NBA player. His defense is overrated but he's an underrated floor general.
61.) Anthony Johnson | Sacramento Kings | 1 yr $2.86 millionGabe Pruitt | Boston Celtics | 3 yrs.
He fell out of the first round but that just means he'll get a big contract before most guys in his draft class.
62.) Sergio Rodriguez | Portland Trailblazers | 3 yrs $3.92 million
The Glove is looking to retire but could still be a decent backup somewhere.
63.) Petteri Koponen | Portland Trailblazers | 4 yrs $4.9 million Mardy Collins | New York Knicks | 3 yrs $3.73 million
What happens when you start regressing as a NBA player before your second season? It gives you the bust stamp.
64.) Jacque Vaughn | San Antonio Spurs | 2 yrs $2.5 million
One of the best garbage time, fourth quarter scorers in the league.
65.) Bobby Brown | Sacramento Kings |
Spanish Chocolate is the new Jason Williams in this league. He's fun to watch whipping passes
all over the court.
66.) Aaron Brooks | Houston Rockets | 4 yrs $5.15 million
Possibly the most overpaid player in the whole league. Practically worthless.
67.) Travis Diener | Indiana Pacers | 3 yrs. $4.86 million
Got himself a ring as a backup to Le Petit Point last season.
68.) Earl Boykins | Charlotte Bobcats |
Had one of the best dunks of last year on Carlos Boozer which shows his athleticism.
69.) Jeff McInnis | Charlotte Bobcats | 1 yr. $1.2 million Dee Brown | Free Agent | Un-signed
Pretty decent threat from deep but doesn't do much else all that well.
70.) Anthony Carter | Denver Nuggets | 1 yr $1.1 millionTaurean Green | Denver Nuggets | 1 yr $427k
The new Dee Brown. Should be dangerous spreading the floor for Portland's bigs.
71.) Jason Hart | Utah Jazz | 2 yrs.
His claim to fame is a 50 point game in Summer League years ago.
72.) Goran Dragic | Phoenix Suns |
Very athletic but he's really more of an undersized shooting guard that can't shoot.
73.) Anthony Roberson | New York Knicks |
Popovich can't wait to get rid of this guy. He's fallen out of favor in San Antonio.
74.) Speedy Claxton | Atlanta Hawks | 3 yrs $17.27 million Damon Jones | Cleveland Cavaliers | 2 yrs $8.63 million
The loudest, worst dressing point guard in the league. He talks alot better than he shoots.
75.) Sarunas Jasikevicius | Free Agents | 1 yr $4 million
The best cheerleader in all of the NBA. Even better than Mark Madsen.
76.) Dan Dickau | Los Angeles Clippers | 1 yr $2.8 million
Needs to find what made him so popular in New Orleans.
77.) Aaron Brooks | Houston Rockets | 4 yrs $5.15 million
A surprise first round pick that has lit up the Summer League.
78.) Daniel Ewing | Free Agent |
Most famous moment is not covering Raja Bell in the playoffs.
79.) Orien Greene | Free Agent | 1 yr $770k
Will be fighting for a backup job with the Pacers this season.
80.) Darrell Armstrong | New Jersey Nets |
Great locker room guy and constant energy off the bench.
81.) Eric Snow | Cleveland Cavaliers | 2 yrs $14.01 million
Still a solid defender but gives you negative production on the offensive end.
82.) John Lucas III | Free Agent | 2 yrs $1.59 million
Has worked extremely hard to become a backup option in the league.
83.) Kevin Ollie | Philadelphia 76ers |1 yr $3.44 million
Has the best or at least the most entertaining mustache in the league.
84.) Travis Diener | Indiana Pacers | 3 yrs. $4.86 million
Great shooter that needs more athleticism to stick around.
85.) Jason Hart | Utah Jazz | 2 yrs.
Got a raw deal in Sacramento but is actually a solid backup.
86.) Vassilis Spanoulis | Free Agent | 2 yrs $4.03 million
Doesn't want to play in the NBA anymore and will return to Greece. Popovich could get him to come back.
87.) Bob Sura | Houston Rockets | 1 yr $3.84 million
He's just an expiring contract now after lots of injuries.
88.) Zabian Dowdell | Free Agent |
He'll find a job in the D-League and then the NBA after not being drafted.
89.) Sasha Vujacic | Los Angeles Lakers | 1 yr $1.75 million
He's the Slava Medvedenko of point guards.
90.) Anthony Carter | Denver Nuggets | 1 yr $1.1 million
The best 3rd point guard you can find.
91.) Andre Barrett | Chicago Bulls |
High flyer that will bounce between the NBA and D-League for a long time.
92.) Darrick Martin | Toronto Raptors |
Claims to have ice water in his veins. I'll be shocked if he has a monthly NBA contract this year.
93.) Lynn Greer | Free Agent | 1 yr $770k
Good scorer off the bench that will need to learn how to be a better floor general.
94.) Ramon Sessions | Milwaukee Bucks | Un-signed
Very quick point guard that can lead a team well. He'll need a jump shot soon.
95.) Keith McLeod | Free Agent |
This guy isn't very quick, athletic, or NBA skills ready but he keeps hanging around this league.
96.) Mike Wilks | Free Agent |
Can't shoot at all. Doesn't even make jumpers in shoot arounds.
97.) Royal Ivey | Milwaukee Bucks |
Very athletic point guard that finds a way to stick with a team, even if it is the Hawks.
98.) Jared Jordan | Free Agent | Un-signed
Some say the next Steve Nash. Others think he won't last long in the league. It's probably somewhere in between.
99.) Jose Juan Barea | Dallas Mavericks | 1 yr. $687k
Summer League legend after this week. Has to make the Mavs now.
100.) Will Blalock | Free Agent |
Has shooting and turnover issues, but other than that, decent player.
101.) Zoran Planninic | Free Agent |
He showed so much promise a couple of seasons ago. Now he'll probably go back to Europe.
102.) Junior Harrington | Free Agent |
His claim to fame is getting dunked on by Kobe Bryant multiple times.
103.) Will Conroy | Los Angeles Clippers | 1 yr $687k
He's a better scoring version of Anthony Johnson.
104.) Mustafa Shakur | Free Agent | Un-signed
Big, athletic point guard that has never realized his huge potential out of high school.
105.) Chris Quinn | Miami Heat |
Shined in minutes last season with the Heat as he filled in for all of the Heat's guard injuries.
106.) Von Wafer | Portland Trailblazers | 1 yr $770k
Knows how to score but doesn't know how to share the ball.
107.) Roko Ukic | Toronto Raptors | Un-signed
It wouldn't be nice to deem him the next Sasha Vujacic so I'll take a wait and see approach.
108.) Cedric Bozeman | Free Agent |
He used to be a top high school prospect as a big point guard going to UCLA. Now he's a guy that can't score but plays lockdown defense.
109.) Randy Livingston | Free Agent |
Journeyman that will not give up on a NBA career.
110.) Brian Chase | Free Agent |
Tenacious defender and penetrator but is pretty undersized.
111.) Anthony Roberson | Free Agent |
Fantastic shooter and scorer but needs to learn how to run the offense.
112.) Robert Hite | Free Agent |
Pretty much the same person as Chris Quinn.
113.) Shammond Williams | Free Agent |
How is this guy still around? Was God Shammgod not available?
114.) Mateen Cleaves | Free Agent |
I know I can take this guy one on one. Someone set this up.
