THE PG ANNOUNCES FIRST PRE-SEASON RANKING OF THE TOP 20 NBA PGs

On Episode 31 of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program, The PG announced his Pre-Season Rankings of the NBAs top 20 point guards.  He cautions that this is not the final pre-season listing; it will be amended as circumstances dictate up to the final THE POINT GUARD show before the start of the NBA season (to accommodate circumstances such as trades, injuries, etc.).  ThePG insists that this ranking is calculated more as a prediction of performance this coming season, rather than as an indication of past seasons' efforts.

Among the names on last year's Pre-Season list which do not appear on this summer's initial list are:  D-Rose, Devin Harris, Chauncey Billups, Jason Kidd, and Baron Davis.  With the exception of D-Rose, who is expected to miss most of the year after ACL surgery, these omissions do represent a true "changing of the (point) guard" on the NBA landscape.

1.   Chris Paul
1a  Deron Williams
3.   Rajon Rondo
4.   Russell Westbrook
5.   Steve Nash
6.   Tony Parker
7.   Kyrie Irving
8.   Brandon Jennings
9.   Damien Lilliard
10  Darren Collison
11  Jrue Holliday
12  Ty Lawson
13  Rick Rubio
14  George Hill
15  Goran Drajic
16  Kyle Lowry
17  Mike Conley
18  Stephen Curry
19  Jeremy Lin
20  Raymond Felton

This list will be amended on an on-going basis until the Saturday before the season begins.  Feel free to comment at any time.

May Your Point Guard Flow...

DAMIEN LILLIARD KILLIN' IN LAS VEGAS SUMMER LEAGUE

Check out Damien Lilliard scoring 25 on his birthday in his first "pro" outing.  Eric Freeman of BALL DON'T LIE opines on what this performance says about the season prospects for the No. 6 pick in the recent draft.

The PG hopes to get a good look at Lilliard before the Vegas tournament is over.  If I catch Portland on NBA TV, I'll do the analysis to determine his point guard style and report in these pages.

May your point guard flow...       like Damien Lilliard in Las Vegas.
