How about a top 5 PGs list?  This is mine.  Share yours.

1. Deron Williams
2. Chris Paul
3. Rajon Rondo
4. Steve Nash
5. Russell Westbrook

That list was pretty tough to put together.  There were a lot of names that you could make an argument for namely Derrick Rose, Tony Parker, and to a lesser extent Stephen Curry.  I put Westbrook slightly above Rose because he's a better defender and a great rebounder.  Honestly it could go either way, but I had to choose.  I think this might be the most talented group of PGs ever assembled in the NBA.  Top to Bottom there is loads of talent.  What do you think?

Here's mine :

1. Chris Paul
2. Deron Williams
3. Jason Kidd
4. Rajon Rondo
5. Derrick Rose 

I honestly believe that a PG order is the hardest to make.  

The only one of your top 5 that I would dispute would be Jason Kidd.  I've been a fan of Kidd throughout his career because I think he exemplifies what a true PG should be, but I think he's been surpassed as a top 5 gaurd.  Top 8 maybe, but not top 5 imo.  Too bad he never had a great outside shot.

To be fair to him, he's really started to develop that in the past few years. Since moving to Dallas he's been hitting over 40% of his three pointers, but obviously it's to compensate for his loss of athleticism. It's a shame he didn't develop it earlier in his career.
