Kelly Dwyer over at Yahoo!’s Ball Don’t Lie ranks all the point guards. Somehow I forgot to post his top 10 here. CP3 still rules the roost in his book, my friends.
1. Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets (last year: first)
Paul ran through a frustrating 2009-10, losing significant time to injury and a head coach he liked (Byron Scott) to the firing line. He then topped missing out on the playoffs with an embarrassing trade-demand-that-he-swears-really-wasn’t in the offseason. Healthy in 2010-11, with a new coach (Monty Williams) and a new finishing partner on the break in Trevor Ariza, one can only hope that Paul can work his way out of this funk and lead the Hornets back to the playoffs.
Even if New Orleans makes another lottery appearance, it hardly matters. Paul is the cream of this crop.
Interestingly enough, I expect him to be putting Marcus Thornton in the top 10 of Shooting Guards as well. I agree wholeheartedly with that idea.
