NBA- Best Point Guards Heading Into the 2010-11 Season (Part 2)
Continuing the list of point guards who serve as the foundation for any formidable unit and while not only dominate the proceedings but also play an important role in their team’s overall performances that ultimately lead to glory:
Aaron Brooks of the Houston Rockets had a breakout last year even though Yao was absent. Despite him lagging behind, when it comes to the size Brooks is one of the quickest players in NBA. This enables him to take on players that are even tougher and stronger than him. Regarded as more of a playmaker, experts say that this player needs to improve so that he can be categorized amongst the best NBA has seen. Like many other point guards, he is also a good three point shooter and possesses the ability to pull off shots from the difficult of positions. With Yao returning this season and opponents focusing on him, Aaron will get a chance to improve his abilities and help the Rockets as well.
Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma Thunders is another terrific player who is regarded best due to his quickness and leaping abilities. The diverse game that he has enables him to get past defenders and kill it off in the end with a strong finish. Not only on the offense but when it comes to defense also, Westbrook is able to prove himself an asset as he is one of the most active players who frequently come up with turn-overs. Despite facing a few injury problems in the first two seasons, he was able to battle his way out of them. According to experts, this player needs to work on other abilities rather than just turn-overs if he wants to be known as one of the best in the business.
Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics is said to be the fastest player not only in the NBA but on the whole planet!!!! With his abilities of running and loads of stamina, Rajon is able to make his way again and again up and down the court. His speed bursts enable him to cut pass defenders. This truly amazing player ends the move with a traditional fake behind the back pass or comes up with a simple one. With skills like jumping, rebounding and stealing, Rajon is regarded as one of the most consistent of the Boston Celtics team who helps players like Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett nail the move if he doesn’t. Experts are of the view that Rajon is one of the future prospects who could develop into the greats of the game. With more and more exposure in the NBA, he is expected to develop into a better player taking his game to new heights.
Utah Jazz also have one of the best point guards in the business in the form of Deron Williams. Regarded as more of a complete package by some experts, he is said to get past the defense, come up with three points and has one of the deadly crossovers in the NBA presently. His quickness and physic enables him to get past the defenders and then finish seeing the ball basket. However, sometimes it is seen that he gives away too many turn-overs while another of his flaws seem to be his lack of good guard abilities. Nevertheless, Deron is without doubt a talented player who will in future most probably develop into the best.
