I took the time to put together an overall generator for each position, taking into account all aspects of every player's numerical ratings, and ran every current IBA player through it. Below I've ranked them 1 through 5 (with three honorable mentions) at each guard position. Another article will follow, later this week, ranking the league's forwards and centers. POINT GUARDS1. Jerry West, Philadelphia 76ers Overall Rating: 99 PPG: 25.9REB: 5.8AST: 10.3STL: 2.4FG PCT: 45.9%3P PCT: 45.3%2. Marcus Smart, Memphis Grizzlies Overall Rating: 96

You forgot that Ricky Berry is a 101 overall. First, Ricky Berry is a SF so he would be in the next article. Second, he's a 68 overall so you were close!

Just had to camp Westbrook's handling and passing to get his rating up.
Side note: I probably should have drafted B. Free, huh?

I was hoping Damon and Lowry would be closer to the top, but both of them have low handling/passing so they'd probably have higher overall if they were listed at SG. I would imagine Russ' overall would be higher at SG just because the PG position values handles more than SG.

I figured B Free would be closer to the top, but he has low Perimeter/Drive defensive numbers so thats what drags his overall down

Its strizz I'm curious to see if KD and Smits crack the top 5 at their respective positions. I KNOW Alvan will

But Starbury boasts a 100/100 handling/passing with 80-90 defensive ratings. B Free's mediocrity on the defensive end is what hurt his overall (same reason James Harden has a 90 rating in 2k - when a better handler/defender like CP3 has a higher overall. Harden is the better scorer, but Paul has a better rating)
