The NBA in this day and age strives on the Point Guard position. With young and talented floor generals getting drafted every year it's no surprise. Derrick Rose for example, potential MVP candidiate. He's one of those rare scoring-type point guards and he's quick. I mean freakishly quick. The guy averages 24 points a game. Rajon Rondo on the other hand is more of a traditional passing-type point guard, averaging 12 dimes a game. He and steve nash both have the deepest court vision in the league today. Tyreke Evans and Monta Ellis both lead there respective teams in scoring. Ellis' team mate Steph Curry is also a very talented point guard. Brandon Jennings, in his rookie year he posted a career high of 55 points in a game. John Wall, drafted first overall pick by the Washington Wizards in the 2010 NBA draft has been averaging 15 points a game and 9 assists. Moving on to the older 1's in the league. Steve Nash, at age 37 he still proves to be the main man and leader of the Phoenix Suns. I don't know where they'd be if he wasn't averaging 16 and 11. The two-time MVP is the best passer I've seen in a long time. All in all, if I were asked who the best Point this generation would be, only one name pops in my mind. Derrick Rose. What doesn't he do? He scores, he can pass, he's an excellent defender and he's a fantastic decision maker. From Magic and Isiah to AI, Kidd and Nash to Chris Paul, Rondo and Rose. Yeah, Sounds right to me.
