Fantasy NBA Rankings - - Point Guards

Came across the Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball rankings, and with the hoops season quickly approaching and this blog covering all aspects of sports we are now launching our NBA Previews. Starting with my Fantasy Point Guard rankings.

#1 Gilbert Arenas, Washington
"Hibachi" is going to have an outstanding year this season. Could be the leading scorer in the league at season's end. Arenas is an outstanding get because he can fill it up from beyond the arc. Arenas averaged nearly three 3-point makes per game in the season.

#2 Steve Nash, Phoenix
A guaranteed double-double every night in the Points and Assists categories, Nash is a candidate for MVP year in and year out. One of the few players who can dominate a game from the Point Guard spot.

#3 Chris Paul, New Orleans
Paul is going to be the workhorse for the Hornets yet again. One of the best in the league attacking the basket to get his points. His stats from his rookie to second season; expect more improvement this year.

#4 Jason Kidd, New Jersey
You know Kidd is a assist magician, but he fills up the stat sheet in other categories as well. Kidd had 8.2 rebounds, almost 2 steals, and 34% from the 3-Point line. One of the all-time greats at his position.

#5 Kirk Hinrich, Chicago
I expect a big season from Hinrich this year. The Bulls feel they are a championship contender this year and in order for them to achieve that, expect Hinrich to be more aggressive on the offensive end. Last year, Hinrich had a career-high 16.6 points per game.

#6 Baron Davis, Golden State
Was the catalyst in getting the Warriors to the playoffs last season. Davis had 20.1 ppg, his highest total in the past three years. Davis IF he is healthy is an outstanding pick, but he must stay healthy. Last year played in only 63 games which was one of his highest in recent years.

#7 Allen Iverson, Denver
Only had 24.8 ppg, once joining the Nuggets and Carmello Anthony in January. Iverson is always going to be sure-fire pick to get you points. Iverson can also be used at Shooting Guard in some leagues.

#8 Chauncey Billups, Detroit
Nothing flashy, Billups is just consistent. His stats last year slipped a bit in major categories but expect around 19 ppg, and 8 assists from Billups this season.

#9 Jason Terry, Dallas
Terry is a great 3-point shooter, shooting 44% last season. Has a knack for getting to the basket and making shots around the hoop.

#10 Deron Williams, Utah
A young player who looks to have a lot of upside. Really emerged last season during the Playoffs. Was the one bright spot for the Jazz in their beat down they took against the Spurs. Williams plays a lot of minutes in a game so expect production.
