The last power rankings of the year highlight the importance of strong point guard play. Eight of ten players in these rankings are in the playoffs. These rankings represent who is entering the playoffs strong, and who to look for to make noise in the postseason.

Rank Prev Player Pts Ast Reb Stl To DRtg Win Shares TPGR Change
1 1 Chris Paul 16.3 10.3 4.3 2.5 2.3 106 0.284 33.62 None
Just another couple of weeks for CP3. Averaging 16 and 10 and being responsible for nearly a third of every clippers win.
2 7 Deron Williams 27.0 8.7 2.1 0.6 2.3 111 0.183 32.82 +5
After dropping five spots last time, Williams picked up his game in time for the playoffs.
3 4 Russell Westbrook 27.3 6.2 5.7 1.8 2.7 102 0.197 32.50 +1
Westbrook leads PGs in scoring over the last two weeks and has controlled his turnovers well.
4 2 Stephen Curry 25.5 9.2 3.5 2.0 3.2 109 0.177 32.37 -2
Curry finishes his career year strong. Hoping to make a statement in the postseason.
5 3 John Wall 24.9 7.1 4.9 1.0 2.4 107 0.138 29.67 -2
Wall has proven that he can sustain this level of play. If he can stay healthy, he could have the Wizards in the playoffs next year.
6 5 Mike Conley 19.0 5.0 3.3 1.3 1.7 99 0.173 26.26 -1
Our usual TPGR defensive ace is still at it and does more on offense than he is given credit for.
7 N/A Jeff Teague 14.8 9.0 2.7 1.3 2.5 109 0.112 24.56 +4
For the Hawks to escape the postseason dissapointment they are used to, Teague will have to show up big.
8 N/A Ty Lawson 12.5 6.5 3.0 1.5 0.0 109 0.136 24.23 +3
Lawson has only played a couple games in the last two weeks, but it appears he will be ready to lead the Nuggets into the playoofs.
9 N/A Jeremy Lin 18.2 8.0 2.7 0.8 2.7 112 0.101 23.33 +2
The Rockets are all about James Harden, but Lin should not be overlooked.
10 N/A Kyle Lowry 10.3 8.7 4.3 1.0 2.2 106 0.131 23.08 +1
Raptors needed these numbers out of Lowry sooner if they wanted in the playoffs.

Mar 16, 2013; Washington, DC, USA; Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (2)

In the past two weeks, John Wall played the best basketball of his career, putting up over 20 points and eight assists per game while leading the top ten point guards in defensive rating. He joins Chris Paul and Deron Willaims in the elite 30+ point TPGR range.

Also of note, Kyrie Irving has fallen off the rankings for the first time since his dominance of All Star Weekend. It will be interesting to see if he can rejoin the top 10 in the next rankings.

Rank Prev Player Pts Ast Reb Stl To DRtg Win Shares TPGR Change
1 3 Chris Paul 18.8 10.0 3.0 1.2 1.4 115 0.291 32.96 +2
Chris Paul reclaims the top spot but has not been playing his best defense lately.
2 N/A Deron Williams 24.2 8.8 3.5 1.3 2.5 105 0.158 32.82 +9
Williams is going to have to keep up his solid play if the Nets are going to hang on to home court in the 1st round.
3 N/A John Wall 20.6 8.6 4.7 2.3 3.1 98 0.100 30.22 +8
If the Wizards had this John Wall for a full season, they would be a playoff team.
4 4 Stephen Curry 21.6 8.0 3.8 0.9 3.4 104 0.165 28.03 None
Despite too many turnovers, Curry is playing well enough to keep the Warriors in the six seed.
5 10 Mike Conley 16.3 8.3 3.4 2.6 3.0 102 0.160 27.23 +5
Conley should probably be getting more attention for his very solid season.
6 1 Russell Westbrook 23.3 5.5 5.6 1.5 3.0 104 0.194 26.89 -5
Westbrook’s drop in assists corresponds with his drop in the rankings.
7 N/A Damian Lillard 23.1 7.4 1.9 1.1 1.9 115 0.102 26.29 +4
Lillard is finishing strong in his bid to be the rookie of the year.
8 7 Ty Lawson 19.3 6.6 2.3 1.0 2.0 105 0.134 25.65 -1
When you think Denver, defense is not the first thing to come to mind, but Lawson is playing well on that end.
9 6 Brandon Jennings 16.6 10.3 2.6 1.1 2.4 117 0.103 25.52 -3
Jennings continues to play well, but the Bucks will need even more if they want to avoid the Heat in the first round.
10 N/A Jrue Holiday 15.6 10.4 4.4 1.9 3.1 112 0.073 25.28 +1
Holiday’s solid year has mostly been wasted as the 76ers continue to disappoint.
