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.

LINSANITY LEAVES FOR GREENER PASTURES
Chris Broussard of ESPN tries to explain the behind-the-scene dynamics resulting in the New York Knicks' refusal to match the Houston Rockets' $29 million offer sheet for Jeremy Lin.
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8176327
The PG feels this is best for all parties involved. Houston gets their media personality to put fans in the seats (and get merchandise off the shelves), Lin gets paid BIG TIME and gets to play in an open-style offense not available to him in NYC, and the Knicks save cap space that could have gone to an overpaid back-up coming off knee surgery, had Lin failed to flourish in the half-court offensive style favored by Coach Woodson who wants Stoudamire and Anthony to be the hub of the offense.
I think the Knicks always suspected there was a chance they might lose Lin; because if they really wanted to keep him, why would they let him "test the market" and risk ballooning of the signing price? The Rockets are building for the future, so the Lin acquisition will help their marketability until they are once again able to put a contending team on the floor. Everybody wins, except for New Yorkers more attached to the Linsanity hype than the New York Knicks' prospects for this season.
Personally, if I were the Knicks, I would have gone after Ramon Sessions or Darren Collison rather than Raymond Felton (a control pg) - particularly if they were going to bring in J. Kidd for tutelage purposes. Either Sessions or Collison would have provided more quickness and off-the-dribble elusiveness than Felton. Understandably, however, New York chose to go with the more familiar option.
Of course, what the Knicks REALLY should have done was get D'antoni a speed or pure penetration point guard to run his system two years ago, BEFORE the trade for Melo.
