NBA: Top 10 Point Guards For Next Season

10. Mo Williams (Cavaliers)

Williams is one of the highest-scoring point guards in the game. Last season on a bad Milwaukee team, he averaged over 17 points, 6.4 assists, and three rebounds. He also shot a very impressive 48 percent from the field, 39 percent from the three-point line and a very good 86 percent from the free-throw line.

This season, playing next to Lebron on a much better Cleveland team, Williams should blossom into one of the elite lead guards in the game. I can see him averaging around 18 points and eight assists, along with great percentages from the field, the three-point line, and the charity stripe.

9. Andre Miller (Sixers)

Miller has been one of the most consistent pass-first point guards in the league for the last decade. Last season, he led a young and below-average Sixers team into the playoffs, where they were highly competitive with the more talented and experienced Pistons. He averaged 17 points, seven assists and four rebounds last season, while also shooting a great 49 percent from the field and a solid 77 percent from the free throw line.

He is always a lock to play around 80 games and be at the top of the league's assist leaders. This season, with a more experienced and improved Sixers team—he will fit great with Elton Brand—he will average around 16 points and nine assists, along with good percentages from the field and free-throw line.

8. Tony Parker (Spurs)

Parker has developed into one of the top point guards in the league over the past couple of seasons. as he has learned to use his incredible quickness to get into the paint—scoring himself or creating easy shots for his teammates.

Last season, he averaged 19 points and six assists while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field on one of the best teams in the league—and he only turned the ball over a little over twice a game.

7. Jason Kidd (Mavericks)

Kidd is not the same player he was seven or eight years ago, but he is still one of the best passing and rebounding point guards in the league.

Last season in New Jersey and Dallas, he averaged 11 points, 10 assists, 7.5 rebounds, and two steals per game, and shot over 80 percent from the free-throw line.

Kidd is still one of the smartest and craftiest players in the league with the ball in his hands.  He will again be at the top of the assists leaders this season, and will undoubtedly be the leading rebounder amongst point guards.

6. Jose Calderon (Raptors)

Last season, Calderon burst onto the scene after starter T.J. Ford got injured. As a starter, he averaged 1three-points, nine assists and three rebounds.  He also became only the sixth player in the history of the league to shoot 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from the three-point line, and 90 percent from the free-throw line. He also averaged an unbelievably low two turnovers, and had an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4.5.

Now that the Raptors have traded Ford for six-time All-Star Jermaine O'Neal, who will pair up with Chris Bosh to form one of the best big-men duos in the league, Calderon will become the starting point guard in Toronto—and he will have a great team around him to become elite.
