Top 10 point guards in the NBA today

Here are, in my opinion, the top 10 point guards in the NBA today:

Russell Westbrook

10. Ty Lawson

This year Lawson has really stood out from the rest. He’s averaging 18 points and close to 9 assists a game, and he is third in assists. If he plays like this in the future, he will definitely move up on this list.

9. Tony Parker

The French point guard has done extraordinary things for the Spurs. He’s a 6-time All Star, and a 3-time NBA champion. He’s averaging 17 points and 6 assists this year, and has always been considered one of the most underrated players in the league.

8. Kyle Lowry

This season, Kyle Lowry has been taking his game to a new level. It was a major surprise when he didn’t make the All Star game, and earlier in the season he was being considered as an MVP nominee. He’s averaging 16.8 points and 7.6 assists a game. He is one of the major reasons for Toronto’s success this year.

7. Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook is, as has been frequently claimed, the Robin to Kevin Durant‘s Batman. Westbrook has been injured often this season, but for the games he did play he’s averaging 21 points and 7 assists a game. He’s only 25 and already a 3 time NBA All Star.

6. Kyrie Irving

Irving is among the best at ball-handling in the league. He certainly demonstrated that with his ankle breaker against Brandon Knight during the Rising stars challenge. Kyrie is a 2-time All Star and being just 21, he definitely will be attending many more All Star games.
