Position rankings: Top 10 point guards

By | SportsLine.com Senior Writer

Doyel's rankings: PG | SG | SF | PF | C | Coaches

The best point guards make the best decisions, so it's no surprise three of the five guys on this list made the right choice this past spring.

Saint Joseph's Jameer Nelson, Washington State's Marcus Moore and Notre Dame's Chris Thomas entered the NBA Draft, but all three avoided becoming this year's version of Marcus Taylor, when they opted to return to school.

Taylor left Michigan State after his sophomore season, was chosen in the second round of the 2002 NBA Draft, then disappeared. He turned up in the Continental Basketball Association, where he was seventh on the Sioux Falls Skyforce in scoring at eight points per game.

That fate will not befall Nelson, Moore and Thomas -- at least not this season -- because they're back in school. And as a reward, they get included on SportsLine.com's first position ranking of the 2003-04 season!

Rank Player School Class Pt./Asst. Skinny

7 Andre Barrett Seton Hall Sr. 16.7/5.3 Scorer first, but can run a team
8 Daniel Horton Michigan So. 15.2/4.5 A little appreciation, please
9 Marques Green St. Bonaventure Sr. 21.3/8.0 Deserves better fate
10 T.J. Sorrentine Vermont Jr. 18.8/4.3* Small-schooler a big talent
