Top 10 NBA Point Guards in the Game Today

This has been the week of the point guard. With all the Rajon Rondo trade talk, Chris Paul trade talk, Rondo-for-Paul trade talk, and Deron Williams planning to opt out of his Nets deal, point guards have dominated the NBA landscape.

One of the most heated arguments of the week was over who would you rather have, Rondo or CP3? With that in mind, I decided to rank my Top 10 point guards in the NBA right now.

These rankings are about who is the best. Straight up. Not who’s the best fantasy player or who has the most long-term potential. This is about who I’d pick for my NBA squad if I had a game tonight:

    Jennings entertaining?

    He had a huge game, thats it. Will he live off this his entire career?

  • Chuckem’ Haze

    JoshG, you are either just trying to rile up knowledgeable basketball fans, or your truly a fullblown, snot-dribbling retard.

  • doc

    I aint mad at ya list except for Bron aint no point guard until the fourth quarter of cahmpionship games.And Rondo is not better than D Will or J Wall what yall smokin in them dime offices.At least Austin aint make the list or Tony Parker would be number 1.Thats the old scxhool Rondo.Came to teams with Hall of Fame players and looked like they were actually running shit to the non know the game fan but the real ones know. Ginobli or Pierce brings the rock up in crunchtime for real.And on D they just funnel they man to KG/Timmy and as soon as the real top players on them teams retire those to guards will fall way off.Which is why Danny been tryin to trade rondo ass for 3 years.Gotta do it while he has value.

    @JoshG- good look on the BJennings nod. I dont why people hate on him so much when he was ranked at 10 on this list. Lol.

    post season idc what anyone say chris paul is pass any point guard level second is rondo dude averaged like 18ppg 11 apg 7 reb third is rose in my opinion

  • top_gun

    If you do one for centers, you should put Kobe for his post game, or maybe D-Wade for his shot blocking. SMH Lebron shouldn’t be on a list of pg.

    My toddler son swallowed a dime yesterday. So today I expected to find a dime in his crap. Instead I found crap in Dime.

    How Jennings makes this list over a guy like Jrue, who is better defensively than all but 2 or 3 guys on this list and who already has a solid offensive game, is ridiculous.

    And I guess they maintained their pact with lebron to make sure he makes every dime top ten list. If anything they’re consistent.

  • VG

    Woah woah woah, RONDO IS BETTER THAN DERON ?!?!

    And Lebron isnt a point guard…put Chauncey there maybe even Jameer Nelson but not Lebron he’s a small forward smh

  • beiber newz

    cut the author some slack. lebron would be a great pg.

  • Sammy G.

    No was is Rondo better than Deron. Hell, i’d even put Deron over Rose if were talking about “true” point guards.

  • Cp3 sucks

    Chris Paul sucks. The only thing hes better than deron at is punching guys in the balls

  • http://www.dimemag.com Austin Burton

    I’m not gonna waste time arguing about the order of the list, because when you’re talking about elite players, nobody is WAY better than anyone else.

    Most of us have the same guys in our Top 7-8, and how you rank them beyond that is really just personal preference. Because you can’t definitively say Rose is WAY better than Paul, or D-Will is WAY better than Rondo, or Nash is WAY better than Westbrook, etc. They’re all great at some things, good at other things, and need work on others.

    Now I do have a problem with Tony Parker not making the list. He’d make my top 5 or 6 no matter the criteria.

  • Cyril

    As usual….A top ten with only Americans players !!!!

    Parker should be in the top five !!!

    Clearly a racist post !!

    But of course you’ll explain to me that Jennings is really better !!!

    Ok……

    i see dime is still making stupid lists, and throwing in ridiculous names to get a rise or start a silly conversation.

  • JDish

    In all fairness and respect to those players who actually play the point gaurd position in the league right now, Lebron James should not have been on this list, but I totally understand the idea of him being on this list… but he’s Not a point gaurd.

    I agree, Chauncy Billups and Stephen Curry could have had a spot on this list.

    Would be interesting to make a list of those poing gaurds who are not all-stars but are decent mid skill floor generals. These guys come to mind:

    THE DON”T-FORGET-ME-LIST-PGs/Wouldn’t-mind-having-him list
    1. Tony Parker
    2. Devin Harris
    3. Stephen Curry
    4. Chauncy Billups
    5. Reymond Felton
    6. Jose Calderon
    7. Mo Williams
    8. Darren Collison
    9. Kyle Lowry
    10. Ty Lawson

    Correction: I believe a few of these guys have gotten all-star nods before.
