Some may say Telfair, but in my mind Jameer Nelson is the best overall point ready in this year's draft. He can shoot the midrange jumper, drive the basket, good passer, and can play ok defense. He'll have an adjustment because of his height but that shouldn't be any problem. He is just a falt out good ballplayer and floor captain
I bet NOONE will say Telfair is the best in this draft. Best PG has got to be Harris, Gordan, or Livingston.
Telfair is going late 1st round, he is too over-hyped and this is the reason he'll be a no-show for tonight. Ranking the PG's 1. Gordon 2. Harris 3. Livingston 4. Nelson 5. Duhon 6. Telfair 7. Chalmers 8. Antonio Burks The reason I place Duhon higher than Telfair is because he ran the point for Duke 4 straight years and has major experience.
here are the top points imo 1. Jameer Nelson 2. Shawn Livingston 3. Ben Gordan 4. Sebastian Telfer 4. Harris 5. Duhon Those are the top 5. Through skill level I believe that nelson is better than all of them, but probable wont be taken first because of his 5'10" stature. He has played all 4 years of his college career and is by far the point guard that will contribute right away. He may not be tall, but he is built. Gordan will also be over looked because of his size he is 6'1" but has a 6"11 wing spand. He can play the point or shooting guard and was probable the biggest reason for Uconn's win in the final four since okafor was out with that stinger. Livingston will be the first point taken I believe because of his size. He will take a couple years to develope since he is straight out of high school but will be great. Though I believe the clippers will select harris because from what I heard they fell in love with his game in the work outs. Plus nowing the clippers they dont want to wait because by the time that livingston is developed he will not be a clipper.
And seems like many people are sleeping on Burks. I feel he may have a good season. Not a great one, but a pretty good one. He played 4 years at Memphis and was this past season's C-USA player of the year. Very good PG. But here's my rankings: 1.Shaun Livingston 2.Ben Gordan 3.Devin Harris 4.Jameer Nelson 5.Sebastian Telfair 6.Antonio Burks 7.Chris Duhon
Ben Gordon isn't a pure point, Livingston and Nelson are, those two are the top guys for tonight's draft IMO. I do like Telfair though, I believe he will be a sleeper late in the draft for a team needing a good back up at the PG.
