Couple of notes...
My ratings were done on the 2k8 build. If anyone wants to let me know where to get the game early, let me know asap :)
I actually raised the ratings of Deron Williams, yet he has a worse overall than the listed 2k9 rating. This leads me to believe Deron has an offensive clutch rating of about 75 in 2k9. Clutch ratings are hidden and uneditable, even though we've only been calling for that to change for the last FIVE YEARS (Bravo 2k). Moving along...
Monta Ellis had some ridiculous ratings. He still rates an 85 as a shooting guard and is still an elite scorer, but his PG skills are nothing short of abominable until he shows otherwise. I love Monta but his averages are not that great considering he played for high octane Golden State. He is a top 10-15 SG in the league, but there is absolutely no question he not a top 10 PG.
The same players make up the top 23 in both lists. I'll say this about 2k - they aren't anywhere near as bad as they were 3-5 years ago.
Brevin Knight and Derek Fisher are both 78 default in 2k9, tied for 28th with 4 other PGs. Bayless and Lou Williams on the other hand I dropped a point each to 78, where they are currently tied with 7 PGs for 28th place.
Finally, it should be noted that no free agent point guards were included, as no free agent PG ratings were recorded by any sources. Delonte West and Sam Cassell could be in the 2k9 top 25 although I'm leaning against it.
Overall rating isn't everything, but for all intents and purposes it will suffice for now. To see the detailed attributes, to download my roster via 2k share on 10/7/08!

Rashidi, you put together great ratings. But, there is no way all 6 of those players are better than Tony Parker. He should definitely be in the top 5 with Paul, Williams, Nash and Arenas.
I think the problem is Parker is he's the only one at the top with a deficiency in 3pt shooting. Otherwise he'd be right up there.
Do you really think Gilbert Arenas is a better PG than Deron Williams? Maybe a scorer, but not as a point guard role. Your Tony Parker comment is dead on. He is deadly getting into the paint, and getting easy shots for his bigs when he penetrates, but needs a 3pt shot to be higher.
Kirk Hinrich had a big drop in production from 2007-2008 compared to 2006-2007, doesn't he deserve a little drop? Even his per 36 min. stats were pretty off.
Or did he just overachieve in 06-07? Interested in what you think.
I'd rather have Deron than Arenas because I prefer pass first PGs that defend well (not to mention stay healthy).
Regarding Hinrich, he's an interesting case. The only thing that really fell off was his shooting, which is tough to explain. He was still the same player, still taking the same shots in the same situations, it just seems he was mired in a season long slump as the Bulls struggled with chemistry issues. Consistency was his biggest enemy. I do think he stands to rebound a bit. It helps that he is a good defensive player. I think he'd be a great fit on the Knicks if the Bulls are interested in shedding salary.
Do you think Brevin Knight is better than Derek Fisher?
