Parker
Calderon
Kidd (3rd only because he's in an isolation based system, so his only real asset, assists, is nullified to a large extent.

parker (offensewise he is a force if healthy...and now he is good on defense too)

kidd (may have lost something on offense, but can still make temmates better, rebound and defende pretty well)

calderon (nice shooting and passing...just what you want from your pointman...he is the poorest defender I've seen in a while...it hurts only calling him a "defender"...dont feel, he can expose his will on the opponent like parker with his speed and kidd with his all-round game)

I can understand putting kidd over parker (I nearly have done so), but as my pointman I just dont like the one-way game of calderon

I can understand putting Parker ahead of Calderon. Kidd on the other hand has not been as good this year.

For this season only...

Calderon
Parker
Kidd

However I feel like the order would be reversed if Parker wasn't injured so often, and if Kidd wasn't so butthurt playing in New Jersey. The biggest thing that hurts Calderon is his defense. I just don't understand why he's so bad; it's not like he doesn't try like Arenas.

This is like i say Gino is only a 3 pt shooter. Kidd and Parker are great too, but I prefer Calderon over Parker and Kidd is 35 years old in March.

Kidd is now in the strange position of having to prove to people that he isn't washed up. His defense has slipped, a lot, and his scoring ability went from below average to terrible.

I think people are beginning to treat Calderon like they treat Kobe. Just react to the over-reactions of the fanboys. To say that he is a good shooter or passer doesn't do him justice, he is an astonishingly efficient point guard which has apparently become underated since Kidd start shooting in the mid-30%s.

I took Parker though. He is more proven in the playoffs than Calderon and plays better D.
