Point Guard Heavy

With the NBA Draft coming up, I want to take a look at the top guards in it, since there are so many... They are actually around 15 point guards in the draft, but I'm going to rank the Top 6.



1. Stephen Curry- I saw this kid play against Patty Mills and Saint Mary's... He will enter the NBA as one of the top 20 shooters.



2. Eric Maynor- Probably the least or second to least heard of in this group, the point guard out of VCU can flat out play, we saw that v.s. Duke, and UCLA... In my opinion, the best point guard of this group, Curry, is ahead of him through potential.



3. Ricky Rubio- This young guy from Spain can flat out play!!! One of two internationals on this list, his jump shot is decent, and he's pretty slow, but he's got otherworldly court vision.



4. Brandon Jennings- Well, he's pretty unheard of... he skipped college to play pro in Europe. He's beasting. Now, laugh at his high school stats... good luck figuring out which one is freak status. 32.7 PPG/ 7.5 APG/ 5.1 RPG/ and what the hell! is that... 13.7 steals every dang game!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you figure it out?



5. Patrick Mills- Speed! It kills and he's got it... Not to mention a great jump shot... What puts him ahead of Ty Lawson, he's got one inch on him, and probably .01 seconds on him on his 40 time.



6. Ty Lawson- Speed! It kills and he's got it... What puts him behind Mills, beside the fore-mentioned, he's a junior, Mills is a sophomore. A little more potential in Mills.

Notables- 7. Jonny Flynn 8. Jeff Teague 9. A.J. Price 10. Jrue Holiday 11. Curtis Jerrells 12. Darren Collison

  1. THERE IS NO WAY CURRY IS AHEAD OF MILLS. DID YOU SEE WHAT MILLS DID TO CURRY WHEN THEY PLAYED EACH OTHER. HE DISMANTLED HIM. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU MAKE A SILLY STATEMENT LIKE THIS.

  2. In response to Campbells comment... If It's Mark Campbell, please say so. If not, I happen to know MIlls personally, and I Did see him play Curry, and I saw Mills go 1 for 10 for three... you can say he was coming off an injury fine, Saint Mary's w/out Mills was better than Davidson w/ out Curry last year, who lost by double digits in the first round, who went to the elite eight and lost by 3? No disrespect to Mills, he's a great player, but I personally think Curry is better... better shooter, more NBA ready.
