Top Five Fantasy Point Guards
As we close in on a month of NBA action, here’s a list of the top five fantasy point guards to have on your team:
1) Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
Paul was regarded highly in the preseason – but not this highly. He’s easily been the best point guard in fantasy basketball and it hasn’t even been close. The only thing that has slowed him down recently was an injury. As long as Paul remains healthy, he’s a stud.
2) Chauncey Billups, Detroit Pistons
Compared to last year, Billups is playing much better. His points and assists are up, as are his field goal percentage, three-point percentage and free throw percentage. Just as importantly, his turnovers are down and his steals are up. Billups has been great so far this season.
3) Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns
Nash has been very good so far this season. The only thing that keeps him from being in the top two are his turnovers (four per game). Other than that, he’s been flawless. All his shooting percentages are up (he hasn’t missed a free throw yet this season). Nash is about as solid as it gets.
4) Baron Davis, Golden State Warriors
Davis was great last year in the playoffs when the Warriors took down the 67-win Dallas Mavericks. This year, he’s built on that performance and is having a career best year. Davis is averaging a career-high in points and rebounds, while he’s getting more assists than he averaged last year.
5) Allen Iverson, Philadelphia 76ers
With Steve Blake lost to free agency and Chucky Atkins injured, Iverson has played a lot of time at point guard this season. He’s responded by putting up very solid numbers. While his turnovers are a little high, the rest of his numbers are very solid.
