^ I loled. In the guys defense though, Calderon is slowly becoming one of the better PG's in the league. These were his averages last year, FG 49% 3 point 40% FT 98% :o (not lying, 98% FT's made), 8.9 assist per game, 12.8 PPG. I wouldn't put him in the top 5 just yet but he'll probably get in there a few years down the line

This guy is 2 more seasons away from being a top 5 easy. He just needs to score a bit more and keep working on his defense. I got used to there being 10-15 very good PG's in the league back in the 90's and now it seems hard to find 5.
Hmm. To the original TC: Not a bad list. I take exception to the inclusion of Devin Harris though. He's too much of a score-first PG for my tastes. I'm old school. I prefer distributors. 1. Chris Paul 2. Deron Williams 3. Tony Parker 4. Chauncey Billups 5. Rajon Rondo
I'd still take Nash over a lot of the more athletic and younger players despite the injuries and age , and his defense at times. He can still run a team , handle the ball ,distribute the ball , execute the pick and roll , and shoot extremely well. (deep range , mid range , free throws).
im kinda shocked how a pg who is get padded stats with 3 damn all stars on his side is making so many lists here along with derrick rose. Of course my bias is talking but seriously...Rondo and Rose over Harris:|

Rose is a good solid pg, but he hasnt done enough to be considered top 5 imo :|
Rondo is probably better as a playmaker but overall, its not even close :lol:
1. Chris Paul (anyone who doesn't put him first is out of their mind)
2. Deron Williams
3. Tony Parker
4. Chauncey Billups
5. Baron Davis (he had an off year by his standards, but the dude is incredible when he's on)
Future Top PG: DJ Augustin...he will surely be a top 5 PG if not higher in his prime
NetYankEagle
lol davis at 5. His career fg% is 37%:|
LOL @ ignorance.
His career FG% is .409 which usually equates to 40.9% and not 37. Baron Davis is also usually top 5 in rebounds, steals and blocks for PGs. He usually leads all PG in blocks. He is a big PG and can cause matchup problems. When he is in form, he is one the best. I think it's funny that you can't recognize that. Most basketball people know how good he really is.

Yeah i think he 08-09 confused with his career. during the 08-09 season his field goal was at 37% but his career overall his field goal is 40.9%

when davis is in form he will chuck up 20 shots only make 5 of them. Dude is terrible at ball he can score 20 ppg but would need to chuck up many shots to get there and by the end of the day his team loses he isnt a pg he is a sg stuck in a pg body that just sucks at doing his job
[QUOTE="waynehead895"]After the Playoffs I can see why someone would put Rondo up there. Dude was the best player for the C's imo during that time.realistic44
Probably the most underrated pg imo. and i dont even like the celtics.
in the playoffs he averaged 16.9 ppg and 9.8 apg. and he can get rebounds like crazy especially for a pg.
Check the sig and you can guess I probably don't like the C's either. But I'm not blinded by fanboyism or anything like that. I enjoyed watching Rondo play... he was just amazing.
im kinda shocked how a pg who is get padded stats with 3 damn all stars on his side is making so many lists here along with derrick rose. Of course my bias is talking but seriously...Rondo and Rose over Harris:|NetYankEagle
yeah the guy who nearly averaged a triple double in the playoffs, with 2 all-stars is overrated?
1. Chris Paul(Can do anything) 2. Deron Williams(Great Leader) 3. Chancey Billups(Great shooter in Clutch) 4.Baron Davis(Bad season to injury) 5. Alen Iverson (Getting old but will still score without trying)

I don't know what you are saying. Lebron, Allen Iverson, Wade, and even Kobe doesn't shoot 50% FG... They are all very high (49.1, 47.2) but still there not 50% shooting. . . so what are you saying?

[QUOTE="LTomlinson21"]1. Chris Paul 2. Deron Williams 3. Devin Harris 4. Chauncey Billups 5. Tony Parker winner right here. just put harris at 5 and we are all set.
Wow wow...how did Devin Harris become one of the top PGs in the league in one year? His numbers aren't that amazing guys. It's great he was the third highest scoring PG last year behind Parker and CP3, but of the top 5 highest turnover PGs, only he and Russell Westbrook (who is irrelevant really), averaged less than 9.5 assist a game. As a point guard, you should have better assist to turnover ratio than that. He was also 1 of the 5 PGs in the league last year that had a FG% worse than 45% of the 12 PGs that averaged more than 10 shots a game. Lastly....I can't believe people are still thinking Deron is a better point guard than CP3...just look at the talent around the 2 of them. CP3 is putting up those numbers...with that talent...CP3 has nobody close to the offense talent of Boozer and Okur and he is still producing like he is...common guys...anyways...with all that said...here are my top 5... 1. Chris Paul 2. Deron Williams 3. Steve Nash 4. Jason Kidd 5. Rajon Rando Rando only because he was able to put up some crazy numbers for a PG his size in crunch time last year, and he's proven to be a leader among the Big 3 in Boston. There's a lot he has to work on, but durability and decision making are what I value for point guards and he's right up there with the other 4.
I don't know what you are saying. Lebron, Allen Iverson, Wade, and even Kobe doesn't shoot 50% FG... They are all very high (49.1, 47.2) but still there not 50% shooting. . . so what are you saying?i was talking about games. Baron davis struggles to shoot 50%.
