I should note that I haven't edited the following 74 rated PGs: Rodney Stuckey, Michael Conley, Jonny Flynn, and Mario Chalmers. Stuckey is the only one with a realistic chance of making the top 20 (75 rated Felton is #21 on both lists).

The player most likely to drop off the list is Rafer Alston (obviously). He had a bit of a resurgance when he went to Orlando, and will be a backup in New Jersey if Harris is healthy.

Oh and before I forget, I changed Nate Robinson and Monta Ellis to SGs which is why they don't appear on the list. 2K had them rated 78 and 76 at PG respectively.


Let's see how mine break down by conference (and figure out who the all-stars are).

West
95 – Chris Paul (+1)
89 – Deron Williams (0)
85 – Tony Parker (+1)
84 – Chauncey Billups (-1)
82 – Baron Davis (0)
80 – Steve Nash (0)
80 – Jason Kidd (-1)
77 – Andre Miller (-1)
77 - Russell Westbrook (0)

Paul, Deron, and Parker are my all-star picks, with Billups as a possible 4th.

I don't think Nash's Suns will win enough games so the only way he makes it is if he gets voted in.

Andre Miller off the bench, really Nate?

East
85 – Devin Harris (-1)
84 – Rajon Rondo (-2)
81 – Gilbert Arenas (-3)
80 – Jameer Nelson (+1)
78 – Mo Williams (+1)
78 – Derrick Rose (-2)
77 – Mike Bibby (-1)
77 – Kirk Hinrich (0)
76 – Jose Calderon (+1)
76 – T.J. Ford (+1)
76 – Rafer Alston (+1)
75 – Raymond Felton (0)

It should be clear the best PGs in the league play in the west. Harris wouldn't even be an all-star in the west, and is a bigger injury risk than the rest of the top PGs to boot.

Rondo has grown so much he could make the all-star team in this weak group, though it'd mean he'd be the 4th Celtic making the team. Of course, considering the Pistons took 4 all-stars the year after they won the title, it's possible if the Celtics are in 1st when the break comes along.

Gilbert Arenas missed the last two season with injury (2009 all-stars Nelson and Williams are in his debt). He could return if the Wizards are a playoff team, though he'll need to keep the aforementioned players off his back to do it.

Of course, Derrick Rose could throw a wrench into all of that, if he continues to improve, and could conceivably be as high as 3rd on the conference list by the all-star break (and a decent shot at being the top east PG)
