You obviously can't tell who's the quickest (not even with the combine results), but i think we could guess the top 10. All i know, Roddy is up there with the best. Rose, Westbrook, Roddy, Harris, TJ Ford, Felton, Brooks, i'm sure i forget somebody, but i would say they're all probably in the top 10. The most athletically gifted (speed, explosiveness, wingspan, vertical) PG's list would be easier, it's Roddy, Rose, Westbrook, Wall, in no particular order.

When I think "quick" I think of the ability to break down a player off the dribble in isolation situations...the first minute or so of that video shows Francis/Iverson in their primes, 2 of the "quickest" players i've ever seen. Were they fastest baseline to baseline? Probably not (altho Iverson could be)...but guarding them musta felt next to impossible when they were in their athletic primes.

but in all seriousness, it really feels like Rondo...

I guess I would have to watch more game film but, whenever my team plays the C's or they're on National TV he seems like the quickest guy on the floor.

Derek Fisher used to be the quickest runner in the LA Lakers team from 2001.
