Who’s better? A question asked every year. This season seems to have another general question: Who’s the best point guard in the NBA?  The question is expanded into: Who’s the top 5 point guards in the NBA? Top 10 in the NBA?  As someone who loves the NBA, I feel intrigued and discouraged by the answers I’ve seen. The reason? I value many different things from a point guard. The last point guards to lead thier teams to a NBA Championship as the main player? Chauncey Billups in 2004, Isiah Thomas in 1989. Before jumping off the deep end, yes [...]

Every season, we must get used to new prospects entering the NBA. Draftniks discuss players and there wingspan, jumpshots, potential and all of that, I’ll do the same. I try to keep it light for the readers so, I’ll break it down position by position, starting with point guards. For this conversation, I’ll put some of the Euro prospects near the end of the position groups. Point Guards: This year is a nice pool for point guards. The best? Duke’s Kyrie Irving.

Think back. Think back about the 2010 NBA Draft.  Don’t think about the lottery, think about the time you turned it off, it was probably right around “With the 30th pick in the 2010 draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select Lazar Hayward”. Boom, I just seen all the first round picks in the draft and that’s it. Oh, but you were wrong. In fact: You been wrong for about the last 10 seasons. The NBA’s 2nd round has been a staple for building a roster for alot of teams now. Don’t believe me? Here’s some players drafted in round 2 since [...]

Draft day-2008 Memphis traded the rights of Kevin Love to Minnesota for the rights to OJ Mayo. This offseason Al Jefferson traded to Utah for 2 1st round picks What do those two things have to do with my article? Nothing, but Kevin Love has a cult in the blog sphere and in Minnesota. Why? Is it because he’s the modern day Jerry Lucas? Is it because he’s on a helpless Minnesota Timberwolves team? I don’t know, the thing is: I never seen anything like it. To me, Kevin Love is a great player who could be a #3 option [...]
