1. Who's the best point guard in the NBA today?
Every part of me tells me to say Chris Paul, but I can't seem to let go of Derrick Rose. He is the reigning MVP (deservedly so) and he led his team to the best record in the NBA (2010-2011). He's been getting better every year and until Chris Paul can bring his team back into the hunt for a NBA title, I'll have Derrick Rose over Chris Paul (but only by a tiny, almost invisible margin).
2. Who's the most underrated point guard in the NBA?
There are a lot of young guards I feel are better than they are known for like Mike Conley Jr. and Kyle Lowry, but the most underrated imo is Stephen Curry. Known as a shooter, he shot the ball very well at 48% this past season and hit over 90% of his free throws. He also averaged 1.5 steals a game, which means he's no slouch on the defensive end. He's still young, so he has plenty of time to develop his on-court leadership and passing ability to bring him in the conversation as one of the top young pg's in the game.
3. Who's the most overrated point guard in the NBA?
He was once considered one of the best not to long ago, but Rajon Rondo has dropped pretty far down from where he was. He's wonderful on the defensive end and can dish the ball with the best of them, but he still shoots horribly from the free throw line and he can't seem to develop a consistent jumper. He's not a bad point guard, but not as good as most fans believe.
4. Who's the most promising point guard in the NBA?
John Wall. Lightning fast, gifted athletically, and only 20 years old. He has all the makings of a great point guard and he has what it takes to be great in the NBA. Not only is he a threatening scorer, but he showed promise in his ability to find open team mates too. Just like every young player, his decision making needs work, but that should eventually come with experience. Give him a year or two and he'll be one of the top point guards in the league.
5. Who's the best point guard of all time?
There are so many greats, but I have to go with Magic Johnson on this one: a 6'8 point guard who could score, rebound, and dish the ball. what more could you ask for? He had everything you wanted in a point guard and there will probably never be another player like him (sorry LeBron, not quite there yet). Not to mention, he's a Hall of Famer, 5-time NBA Champion, and 3-time NBA MVP. Do I really need to convince you?
