Since our last rankings, Chris Paul has not played a game, Rajon Rondo was declared out for the season after a torn ACL and Jose Calderon changed jerseys. A crazy couple of weeks for point guards leads to a new number one in the rankings:

Rank	Prev	Player	Pts	Ast	Reb	Stl	To	DRtg	Win Shares	TPGR	Change
1	5	Tony Parker	23.2	9.5	3.3	1.0	3.8	101	0.220	32.99	+4
		It took injuries to Paul and Rondo, but Parker finally grabs the top spot.
2	NA	Ty Lawson	20.4	7.4	2.8	2.8	2.4	99	0.094	28.91	+9
		Nuggets have won six straight and Lawson is playing well, especially on defense.
3	3	Stephen Curry	25.3	5.7	2.0	1.3	2.0	111	0.168	26.98	None
		Every Warriors game is a mix of excitement and fear that Curry’s ankles will shatter.
4	2	Russell Westbrook	20.0	8.0	5.5	1.5	4.2	107	0.177	25.47	-2
		The Thunder no longer seem bullet-proof, but Westbrook is maintaining his high level of play.
5	NA	Kyrie Irving	28.3	4.0	3.3	1.8	2.7	111	0.146	24.98	+6
		Only four assists a game is not ideal, but nearly 30 ppg makes up for it.
6	NA	Goran Dragic	15.1	8.7	3.0	1.3	2.1	110	0.117	24.92	+5
		Dragic’s season has been a bit of a roller coaster, but he is up again for the Suns and intirim head coach Lindsey Hunter.
7	NA	Brandon Jennings	19.7	7.3	2.3	1.0	2.3	113	0.113	23.84	+4
		As trade rumors swirl, Jennings is proving his worth.
8	10	Deron Williams	15.9	8.1	3.7	0.9	3.0	109	0.149	23.42	+2
		Williams and the Nets are playing well, but the feeling is that both could be doing better.
9	4	Jrue Holiday	19.8	8.2	4.2	1.8	5.5	100	0.086	23.19	-5
		Holiday is doing it all for the Sixers, but his five and a half turnovers a game show it may be too much.
10	NA	Mike Conley	13.5	3.8	1.7	2.3	1.3	95	0.146	21.95	+1
		13 points and under four assists do not make a top ten pg. Allowing under a point per possession on defense does.
