Last week we looked as the best rookies in the league, but this week it’s the point guards who get a chance to shine. Here are our power rankings of the best point guards in the NBA.
Of course there are more than just 10 point guards in the league, but after the top 10-15 names, it starts to become so muddled that the exercise becomes a waste of time. I mean, is it really necessary to try and figure out if George Hill is better than Kemba Walker or if either are better than Jarrett Jack or Patrick Beverley? I don’t think so, and I’m guessing many of you don’t think so either. So, that’s why we decided to just go ahead and pick the top 10. Onto the list!
10. Rajon Rondo
Rondo has put up some monster stat lines, and is leading the league at 10.9 assists per night. He’s clearly more locked in than he was in Dallas, and has shown he can still be an effective player in the league.
Unfortunately his play hasn’t translated into much success for the Kings, as their offensive rating is actually better when Rondo is on the bench, jumping from 101.1 to 102.7 when he sits. And of course, the team is just 7-15 on the season.
8. Eric Bledsoe/Brandon Knight
Despite beating the Chicago Bulls Monday night, Phoenix Suns are just 2-8 in their last 10 games. The combination point guard situation they’re running with certainly hasn’t been to blame, however. Bledsoe and Knight have carried the team thus far, combining for over 43 points, 11 assists, and 8 rebounds a night on the season.
