Go to pretty much any playground or scrimmage and ask “who is the best point guard in the NBA?” and most will say Chris Paul. But a new survey of NBA general managers shows half of them naming Deron Williams as top dog.
Team bosses are also full of praise for high-scoring star Kevin Durant. After guiding Team USA to gold at the World Championship in Turkey this summer, most GMs named him as the player they’d chose to build a franchise around. He’s also favourite to win this year’s MVP award.
