Who's the best young point guard out of the four listed in the title?I'll say Devin, because he has proven that he can lead a team to the Finals. He's also amazingly talented, but it's a tough race.
Jammer Nelson has been tremendously impressive after this season. I would say he is the most impressive. Delonte/Devin come in at a close second. Devin has been great and all but I wouldn't say he lead the Mavs to the finals. That was a bit more of Dirk/Terry/Howard leading the Mavs to the finals. Not to mention they had Stack coming off the bench...Livingston will be good, he just needs some time to develop.
As of right now i would pick Jameer as well. He was really impressive this year and him and Howard can be a deadly duo. Because of the fact that he ahs Howard on his team and he has already shown the most talent im choosing him.
Jameer has really proven himself along with Dwight Howard in Orlando as a up-and-coming point guard. I rank him no. 1. At no. 2, it's Delonte West. Not only he has good PG skills, but he also has decent defense to go along with his PG skills. Devin goes at no. 3, I dont really agree to what you said about him leading the Mavs to the Finals. He had some good games against the Spurs, which finally got Dallas over that hump, but Dirk was the real leader in the playoffs, along with Terry. Livingston is 6'7, but he has great court vision to play PG. He is fresh out of HS so he's adjusting to the NBA's style of play. All the other guys have gone to college, except him.
IMO its got to be Jameer Nelson... I don't think Devin Harris is as good as we all think. Sometimes I think he is overrated due to the fact that he made it to the finals. He didn't necessarily led his team to the finals - Dirk, Terry, and Howard did. Its like saying DJ Mbenga led his team to the playoffs or something.
As of right now Nelson for sure. He can score, we all know that from his college days, but he chooses to get his teamates envolved. I think Orlando is gonna explode next year and it is gonna have alot to do with Nelson. He is a leader.
Right now it's definitely Jameer. He has a nice feel for the game, he can score, he's quick, and his playmaking skills are twice as good as they were a year ago. He hustles as well and he's only getting better. These 4 PG's in order - RIGHT NOW: 1. Jameer Nelson 2. Delonte West 3. Devin Harris 4. Shaun Livingston These 4 PG's in order - FUTURE 1. Devin Harris 2. Jameer Nelson 3. Shaun Livingston (if he ever pans out) 4. Delonte West Yes, I put a Celtic at 4th lol. But it's true, I think Delonte will be a very good player, but if Livingston pans out to be what he could be, he would be #2, maybe #1 on this list in the future.

Maybe he wasn't the Lockerroom influence that Antonio Davis or Rasheed Wallace is, but I'm just saying, two straight seasons of starting late in the playoffs. Of course Terry is better than Devin, but In the future, Devin will turn out to be a better player overall than Terry.It's a close battle I'd have to agree with CelticBalla, but Devin second in right now, Delonte Third.
Right now Jameer Nelson.But in the future Shaun Livingston I think will be the best. I watched a few Clipper games, and like this young kid. I know a lot may not agree, but I really think this.
I like Jameer, but for me to put him higher than Devin he has to lead that team to the playoffs...Right now I'd put Devin/Jameer tied at top.Devin was a little overrated in the playoffs, he has to become more consistent. He shows up some games, and doesn't others. Devin needs to improve his decision making and become a more consistent scorer...and I think he will over the next 2 years.

He is a scoring monster. He proved that this year, when he was healthy, he could light it up for 25+ in some games. He doesnt get many turnovers and is a very mature player. He is strong on defense and can pull down some rebounds even though he is not very tall at all. I am looking for him to average around 17 and 6 next year.Delonte West is a very sufficient player who rarley turns the ball over. He is a very good shooter from all over the court when open and is also very mature. Must be something from St. Josephs Devin Harris proved that he could be a good role player right now for Dallas but IMO, he is nothing more than the 5th option on that team. He is very quick at going to the hole and has a decent mid range J, but he is a little too small. Muscle wise...Shaun Livingston could end up being the best out of all of these players but at the moment is the worst. He is an excellent passer in flashes but he needs to be more consistent. His jumpshot needs improvement and he of course needs to gain some weight. In a couple of years, he might just be the best out of all of these players.
