    Two that come to mind for me are Carmelo and Kobe Bryant. From what I've seen from Melo the guy has some great court vision and is great and getting players the ball down low. I've seen him make a few amazing passes to Camby where most players wouldn't have noticed him. As for Kobe Bryant the guy still gets labled as a ballhog and I guess he always will. He's been doing a great job getting teammates involved this season and can be partly thanked for the progress of some of the Lakers younger players like Luke Walton.

    Brevin Knight, without question. This guy is a flat out floor general, he limits mistakes, he's a leader, and he is an exceptional playmaker. He can make plays in a half-court set, on the fly, and he has a nice drive and kick game (which would show up better if Charlotte had better shooters).

    I am going to say Iverson because he good assist numbers always get overshadowed by his monster scoring

And since your so big on stats you realize Kobe is averaging 5.5 apg with a crappy supoorting cast right?

Another guy is Delonte West. He came into the NBA as an undersized 2, and switched to the point. Now he looks like a natural point out there. As he plays more point this year, he will only improve even more, as its only his 2nd year there. But he plays very intelligently on the break, and would be great in a half court set if Doc actually ran some plays out there other than isos, and just random passing to someone who is open.

    Andrew Bogut is a great passer from the post and pretty much everywhere, thats something that you rarely hear about him.

    Carmelo is NOT a good passer. He is a turnover waiting to happen. Bryant doesn't attemp many risky passes. If he did he would have an extremely high turnover rate like he did a couple years ago. I think Terry is gotta be one of the most underrated passers. People think of him as 'tweener but he has been really passing well this year.

He was all about his shots even with a team full of talent.

How is Kobe's supporting cast better than average at best. Lamar Odom has been injured half of the season and Luke Walton has been his best passing option while Odom was out. The offense is run by fricken Smush Parker and they have no good big men right now. Expalin how his supporting cast is good.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mavsfan1000 @ Jan 27 2007, 04:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I saw enough of him play in the Olympics.

Buddy were talking about the NBA, not the world championships. Plus just because you don't pass a ton or because yu don't have a high apg doesn't mean you can't pass well. All you've proven is that you never watch Melo play in actual NBA games.

He rarely turns the ball over because of a bad pass, I'm not sure what you were trying to say. Typical Kobe Bryant hate coming from the exact same people, open up your eyes and stop being biased. You're missing something great.Heres my list: Sam Cassell Damon StoudamireDeron WilliamsCarlos Arroyo

    Andre Iguodala. This guy has unbelievable court vision and he actually doesn't mind passing and setting up his teammates. Watch him play (hard to do because the Sixers are so boring now), and you'll be surprised and see what I'm talking about.

And now that the ball is in his hands he just keeps getting better and better. He is definitely proving to me he can be a first-option type player in this league. This kid is going to break out next year.
