Ridiculous point guard play so far this season. Drum up the old stand-by comment by any NBA announcer when two of these guys play in the same game..."there are no off-nights for point guards in the NBA anymore."
(Not listing them in any particular order, other than the order they're listed in)
Chris Paul - 17.9 ppg, 9.9 apg, 5.3 rpg, 2.43 spg, 51% FG, 45% 3's, 89% FT
No matter how good anyone else has been, I don't think any other PG has touched Paul yet this year. The way they run their offense with him certainly contributes to his big numbers, but the fact that he can handle the ball that much and only average 1 TO/game and shoot the percentages he has is incredible.
Deron Williams - 21.5 ppg, 10.3 apg, 5.1 rpg, 45% FGs, 36% 3's, 84% FTs
His FT shooting is up, his rebounding is up, but he's got to control the turnovers (4/game). He's been at 50% from the field after the first 2 games. His assist numbers would be huge if he had any back court help that could shoot.
Derrick Rose - 23.8 ppg, 9.2 apg, 3.8 rpg, 44% FGs, 27% 3's, 75% FTs
Still getting it done w/very little front court offensive help. Once Boozer gets healthy Rose will be one of the 5 toughest guards to stop in the league.
John Wall - 19.3 ppg, 10.2 apg, 4.3 rpg, 3.17 spg, 44% FGs, 36% 3's, 77% FTs
Durant was really good rookie after one year of college. Wall's do it everything year so far is making Durant look like Glenn Robinson.
Rajon Rondo - 11.1 ppg, 14.8 apg, 5.5 rpg, 3.13 spg, 47% FGs, 53% FTs
Didn't list 3-pointers because he's only taken 5 attempts. How good could he be if he could just shoot FTs, let alone an 18 foot jumper? He's only on pace to break the NBA record for assists in a game while also being the best defensive PG.
Russell Westbrook - 22.6 ppg, 7.9 apg, 6.3 rpg, 2.14 spg, 44% FGs, 90% FTs
Has there ever been a top 3 talent in the NBA that wasn't the most important player on the team? Is that what we have with Durant playing on Westbrook's team? 22/7/6 from a PG with his defense and being able to hit 90% FTs?
Steph Curry - 21.7 ppg, 6.3 apg, 3.3 rpg, 1.83 spg, 52% FGs, 38% 3's, 89% FTs
Looking more and more like a point guard and less like Monta Ellis. He reminds me of Brandon Roy at the end of games, where I kind of don't expect him to be as good as he is but at the same time feel like he's going to score each time he touches it.
And even after listing those guys, that is leaving out Nash's 19 and 9 and absurd shooting yet again, Jason Kidd still being at 11 apg, Jrue Holiday going for 19 and 9 and making half of his 3's in November, and Tony Parker looking young again...and the new "point guard" on the block. When the year's over, are we going to think LeBron looks better emulating Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan?
