3.) Deron Williams [PG; Brooklyn Nets]

2011-12 Stats: 55 GP (55 GS), 21.0 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 9.2 APG, 1.2 SPG, 4.0 TOPG, .407/.336/.843, .467 eFG%, .527 TS%, .099 WS/48, 20.3 PER
Contract: Free Agent

The top three point guards all have one thing in common, they're all capable of not only setting up their teammates but also the ability to create and make their own offense. Statistically though, Deron Williams probably doesn't deserve to get ranked inside the top three with how poor of a season he had this past year, but that largely had to do with injuries to key players an ineffectiveness of some of his teammates. That being said, he's probably the best half-court point guard in the league with his great size allowing him to post up small point guards. That isn't to say that he can't get up and down in a full court offense. He's set to become a free agent in a few weeks with the Mavericks and Nets vying for his services as one of the top point guards in the NBA. He's set to get a maximum deal from whoever ends up signing him, and is easily the most desirable free agent on the market this year.

2.) Derrick Rose [PG; Chicago Bulls]

2011-12 Stats: 39 GP (39 GS), 21.8 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 7.9 APG, 0.9 SPG, 3.1 TOPG, .435/.312/.812, .473 eFG%, .532 TS%, .211 WS/48, 23.0 PER
Contract: 5 Years, $89,163,134

Derrick Rose is one of the young superstars in the NBA right now, and even though he did tear his ACL in the playoffs it doesn't change the fact that he's a multifaceted player who could be the #1 guy on many NBA teams. His ability to get to the range and finish at the rim better than any other point guards in the NBA. While he's not quite the passer that say Deron Williams is, or the defender that Rajon Rondo is but he's going to be the guy whose most likely going to make the game winning shot of all the people on the list. If he doesn't make that shot, there is a very strong chance that he ends up drawing a foul and ends on the free throw line. Even though he's only 23 years old, he'll likely miss a majority of the year recovering from the ACL surgery, but there is only one point guard I'd take over him right now.

1.) Chris Paul [PG; Los Angeles Clippers]

2011-12 Stats: 60 GP (60 GS), 19.8 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 9.1 APG, 2.5 SPG, 2.1 TOPG, .478/.371/.861, .522 eFG%, .581 TS%, .278 WS/48, 27.0 PER
Contract: 1 Year, $17,779,458

Chris Paul was by a considerable margin the most productive point guard, and had it not been for David Stern intervening would have occurred as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Instead, that transpired and he found himself suiting up for the Los Angeles Clippers and helped lead an eight game turnaround and put the Clippers right in the thick of things with the Lakers for the Pacific Division title. Even though he played really well, he became quite nicked up and it affected him as the Clippers struggled to put away Memphis and the Spurs dismantled the Clippers in the second round. The Clippers will need to make some more moves if they want to convince Chris Paul to resign with the Clippers past this season.

CP3 #1. Your past blunders on this list have been forgiven.

I am glad you didn't overreact to Williams's statistical blight this season. Moving from the Jazz to Nets meant he had to basically become the go-to guy on offense and had to become something of a volume shooter to keep them in games. He was taking over 2 more shots per game than last year with Utah and almost 4 more per game than his '09-'10 season with the Jazz. Also, his assist numbers dipped because of the caliber of players he was surrounded with. Whereas for many years the Jazz were a fringe or better playoff team out West, the Nets were cellar dwellers. Deron definitely deserves to go to a good team.
