2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Rankings: Point Guards 1-20 | PGs 21-40

  1. Chris Paul, Hornets
    Some believe that CP3 is not only the top point guard in fantasy basketball, but also the top overall pick. Whichever way you are leaning, there is no question that is will be the first point guard taken off the board. Last season among his position mates, Paul was first in points, assists, and steals, and second in rebounds. He also has very respectable percentages from the field and free throw line despite not being the deadliest shooter from beyond the arc.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 23.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 10.5 apg, 2.75 spg, 80 3PTM

  2. Deron Williams, Jazz
    Williams' numbers from a year ago are a bit skewed since he missed 14 games early in the season due to injury. When he got healthy, he ended up posting career-high averages in points and assists though his three-point shooting percentage was a career-low. His team is back in tact meaning he will likely put up similar numbers. Don't be surprised if he ends up playing off the ball a little more and his assist total is a tad down since Utah drafted point guard Eric Maynor this summer.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 20.5 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 9.5 apg, 1.25 spg, 95 3PTM

  3. Jason Kidd, Mavericks
    At 36, J-Kidd is still a very valuable fantasy option. Scoring has never been his forte, but his rebounds and assists are among the best at the position. Durability will be a concern, but Dallas doesn't have a true back-up point guard breathing down his neck and the Mavs did find some better talent to put around him which can only help his numbers. If you take a big-time scorer with your top pick, Kidd would be a great second or better yet, third round pick.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 10.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 9.0 apg, 1.75 spg, 115 3PTM

  4. Steve Nash, Suns
    Like Kidd, age is beginning to become a concern for fantasy owners when thinking about drafting Nash. But at 35, the former league NBA is still a top tier point guard. With Terry Porter and Shaq both out of Phoenix, the Suns should employ a more up-tempo style offense which should greatly benefit Nash. He will be one of the league leaders in assists and shoots the ball at a high percentage. A healthy Amare Stoudemire will also make Nash even better.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 18.0 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 11.0 apg, 1.00 spg, 125 3PTM



  5. Chauncey Billups, Nuggets
    Billups has been a consistent fantasy producer since 2002 when he arrived in Detroit. That won't change this year as Billups will put up solid numbers across the board, except his poor shooting percentage from the field. Be cautious of how high you draft him though, as rookie Ty Lawson will likely take away some minutes from Billups.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 16.5 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 6.0 apg, 1.25 spg, 150 3PTM

  6. Jose Calderon, Raptors
    Despite missing 14 games last season, Calderon was still one of the top ranked point guards in the NBA. The addition of Hedo Turkuglu will make the Raptors a more offensive-minded team which should help Calderon's numbers. Toronto did sign combo guard Jarrett Jack though, so there is some concern that Calderon might see less of the ball this year. He is automatic from the charity stripe, shooting 98% a year ago.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 12.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 8.5 apg, 1.25 spg, 110 3PTM

  7. Devin Harris, Nets
    The former Wisconsin Badger not only made the leap to an NBA All-Star but was one of the fantasy steals of a year ago. Harris surpassed career highs in almost every statistical category and could do so again this year. Being on a young team, he will shoulder most of the offensive load meaning. His lackluster percentages from the field and three-point range keeps him out of the top five point guard prospects.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 23.0 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 6.5 apg, 1.75 spg, 70 3PTM

  8. Gilbert Arenas, Wizards
    It could be feast or famine with Agent Zero. Injuries have forced him to play in just 15 games in the past two seasons, but he appears as if he is 100%. If so, the usual Arenas should return with slightly lowered numbers due to the development of Caron Butler and recent additions of Randy Foye and Mike Miller. Arenas scores in bunches but shoots a very low percentage from the field. He could slip on draft day due to his recent injury history but could also be a great value if he's healthy.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 23.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 5.0 apg, 1.50 spg, 170 3PTM

  9. Derrick Rose, Bulls
    Rose is a "sexy" player who is entertaining to watch and extremely skilled on the court, but is not yet an elite fantasy point guard. His post-season performance against the Celtics proves that the up-side is there. And with Ben Gordon gone, Rose will be more of a focal point in the Bulls' offense. However, he is still a fairly terrible outside shooter, struggles from the free throw line, and doesn't get a lot of steals though he is a great rebounder for a point. Before you roll the dice on him in one of the early rounds, make sure you have some three-point shooters on your roster.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 18.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 6.5 apg, 1.00 spg, 20 3PTM



  10. Rajon Rando, Celtics
    Rando elevated his game and posted ridiculous numbers in the post-season, nearly averaging a triple-double per game. To expect that this season would be ridiculous, but Rando should become a more integral part of the Celtics offense. He racks up assists and steals, and is a solid rebound guy for his position, but is not much of a free throw or three-point shooter. He will likely be drafted higher than he should in drafts, but may be worth the risk.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 13.5 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 9.0 apg, 2.00 spg, 20 3PTM

  11. Baron Davis, Clippers
    Davis is one of those guys that I avoid when drafting my team. Injuries and an overall lack of motivation are two deterrents that keep him on my "do not draft" list. He has only played more than 70 games in a single season once since the 2002-2003 season. Having Blake Griffin in Clipper-land should hopefully motivate Davis to play hard every night, but that is asking an awful lot. I wouldn't roll the dice on Davis as a high pick at all, but would be okay with him as my second point guard.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 17.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 8.0 apg, 1.50 spg, 120 3PTM

  12. Russell Westbrook, Thunder
    Here's my point guard sleeper for this season. Westbrook had a spectacular rookie season and should only get better playing on an improving Thunder roster. His quickness makes him a dynamic threat with the basketball and having James Harden as his running mate in the backcourt will certainly be an asset. If you are in a keeper league, Westbrook's value is even higher.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 17.0 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 6.0 apg, 1.50 spg, 50 3PTM

  13. Tony Parker, Spurs
    Parker is one of those guys who is a better actual player than fantasy player, if that makes sense. Because of that, he might be slightly over-valued on draft day. Add in that he averaged a career-high in points and assists last season mainly due to injuries on the Spurs roster, and be careful not to take him too high. With a healthy Manu Ginobli and newly acquired Richard Jefferson, his numbers will go down. Plus, he is likely to see less playing since the Spurs seem to be very high on back-up George Hill.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 17.5 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 6.0 apg, 0.75 spg, 15 3PTM

  14. Tyreke Evans, Kings
    I think Evans is going to eventually be an absolute stud in the NBA. He does everything on the floor; score, rebound, dish out assists. On a pathetic Kings roster, he should get every chance possible to be one of their featured players, especially with Francisco Garcia's injury. The major downfall to having Evans on your roster will his poor shot selection which will hurt his FG% and the fact that his outside shot needs a lot of work so he won't hit a bunch of three's. Evans should be listed as a PG/SG.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 18.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 6.0 apg, 1.75 spg, 20 3PTM

  15. Monta Ellis, Warriors
    A suspension and injuries stunted Ellis' development last season. Still, he is a very talented scorer who also produces a good amount of steals. Outside of that, he will only slightly contribute to other categories. I am also curious to see what his role is with rookie Stephen Curry also in the backcourt. Curry is a combo-type guard just like Ellis and might hurt Ellis' overall production. He is still a solid fantasy option, but I wouldn't reach too high to grab him.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 18.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 3.5 apg, 1.75 spg, 25 3PTM

  16. Mo Williams, Cavaliers
    Joining the Cavs was the best thing to happen to Mo Williams fantasy stock. His scoring and three-pointers jumped drastically though his assists took a hit. It's unlikely that he will hit 183 triples like he did a year ago and the acquisition of Shaq may take away some of his scoring. He is also not much of an assist man with LeBron having the ball in his hands as much as he does. Still, he is a solid mid-round point guard prospect.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 16.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 4.0 apg, 0.75 spg, 160 3PTM



  17. Jameer Nelson, Magic
    Before a shoulder injury prematurely ended Nelson's season, he was posting career highs in points, three-pointers, and shooting percentages. He has consistently improved during his career and should be a valuable second point guard option. The addition of Vince Carter will likely lower Nelson's scoring, but should help his assist total.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 14.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 6.0 apg, 1.25 spg, 145 3PTM

  18. Jason Terry, Mavericks
    A likely PG/SG combo, Terry is a fairly one dimensional fantasy player who will provide scoring and three-pointers. His numbers probably won't be as high as they were last year with more talent on the Dallas roster, but he can still be a good mid-round value.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 16.5 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.00 spg, 160 3PTM

  19. Mike Bibby, Hawks
    The additions of Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague both scare me away from Bibby a bit. Both new Hawks excel with the ball in their hands and like to take a lot of shots. I think Bibby's playing time will take a hit as will his production. I wouldn't count on him for anything more than a fantasy back-up this season.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 13.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 4.5 apg, 1.00 spg, 140 3PTM

  20. Andre Miller, Blazers
    A change of scenery will have a negative effect on Miller's fantasy status. Steve Blake, Jerryd Bayless, Brandon Roy, and Rudy Fernandez all like to handle the ball as well for Portland. Miller will not be asked to score a lot, but should still get his share of assists and rebounds. He is the opposite of a threat from deep.

    Projected 2009-10 Fantasy Basketball Stats: 12.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 6.0 apg, 1.25 spg, 10 3PTM
