In my opinion, the PG position is the most vital position in the NBA because no team can run effectively without a good one. Only Phil Jackson has figured out how to run an offense without a PG, and that's because he plays a "point forward" instead. But every team needs a leader, a guy who is both quick, athletic, and has a high basketball IQ to make good decisions on every possession.
Who do you think is the best point guard RIGHT NOW? As in, given their current age, last year's performance, career accomplishments, and future?
This upcoming season, it will be Chris Duhon.

Jason Kidd, twoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo shots!
I voted Tony cuz wwweeeeeelllllllllllllllllllll it just felt right
DWill, the man takes over a game like no other PG can right now. Sorry CP3 fans.
i STRONGLY disagree.
CP3 is much more capable of taking over games on his own, while D-Will is more of a pure PG than CP3 is. CP3s creativity at the PG position is unmatched.
I think Deron Williams is currently the best PG with the biggest upside. Chris Paul is weaker defensively and has a poorer basketball IQ. Tony Parker's inconsistent scoring from the outside keeps him from being the best, but I think he may be the smartest PG with the most intangibles, hence he's got 3 rings.
2 years ago I would have said Chauncey Billups. 4 years ago I would have said Kidd. As good as Nash is, his gaping defensive holes will always prevent him from being the best PG in my book.
Baron Davis and Gilbert Arenas should be options despite being shoot-first combo point guards. Well, at least over Rondo and Terry, if you're going to make those two options.
Nash if you only like offense.
CP3 if you like lob passes.
DWill if you like a guy that plays hard only during the end of quarters.
AI if you like tattoos.
Kidd if you like wife beating coach killers.
Parker if you're into French rap.
But in all seriousness it's CP3 over Dwill right now.
I love JET, but seriously? He's a "combo guard," and that's not a compliment to his playmaking ability.
You're right, I should have put Baron Davis up there. Arenas is a combo guard (like Terry) and both those guys are sort of questionable as to whether they should be there.
I put Rondo up because his play all this past year was amazing on both ends of the court, and he led the Celtics to a championship. KG couldn't have been KG without a solid playmaker by his side.
What remains to be seen about Rondo is whether he can continue his high level of play, because if he can he has the potential to be one of the great PGs.
Deron Williams reminds me a lot of Chauncey. Both are excellent defenders and smart players, and both are clutch, clutch, clutch in the 4th quarter.
Really? Explain to me then why certain teams have won championships, not only Phil Jackson coached teams, and certain teams have not. Unless your best player is like Michael Jordan, you still need a top big man more than you need a top guard.
But the best point guard right now is Chris Paul. He may be a little small so worse defensively than Deron Williams. However he makes his teammates a lot better. Do you really think both David West and Tyson Chandler would be as good as they are without him? However, on Utah's side, I can't think of one player that is clearly better with Deron Williams.
LOL are you joking or what? ever heard of Paul Pierce? James Posey? Ray Allen? Those guys were all FAR more key than Rondo. Rondo hit wide open jumpshots because of the attention all those guys drew. He is AT BEST a 3rd option.
I'd take DWill by a hair over CP3.
There really isn't any point having any choices other than Dwill and CP3.
As much as common spur fan obsesses over Devin Harris as to how he's the next Oscar and we let him go, I'm surprised his name isn't on the list 3 times.
Pierce is a fantastic player, but he couldn't get it done without a PG to run the show, and neither could KG. I'm certainly not suggesting Rondo is the "star" of the Celtics, I'm suggesting that star players, big scorers, need a playmaker to help them win. Jordan had Pippen, which, as I've said, is the exception to the PG rule. Jackson has devised an alternative model that relies on a point forward, but other than him, I can't think of a coach who has won without a solid PG.
Rondo was and is a vital piece for the Celtics. KG and Pierce need a floor general, and there were a lot of questions before the season as to whether Rondo was mature enough yet to be that guy, but he proved he was.
only problem is that Rondo isnt a playmaker. he had plays made for him, and simply had to hit wipe open shots.
