Deron Williams is the best point guard in the NBA

NBA GMs Vote DWill as NBA's best PG..... oh and say the Lakers not the Heat are the team to beat.

"The Los Angeles Lakers will win the NBA title and LeBron James won't win the NBA Most Valuable Player award -- at least if a survey of NBA general managers is accurate.

The annual NBA.com GM Survey, released Wednesday, says the Lakers are the team to beat, according to 63 percent of the 28 general managers who responded.

The Miami Heat, which picked up James and Chris Bosh to join Dwyane Wade during the offseason, was picked to win by 33 percent of the respondents.

The Boston Celtics were the pick of 4 percent.

In the MVP race, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder was the overwhelming pick, getting 67 percent of the votes. Kobe Bryant of the Lakers was second with 26 percent.

James, last year's league MVP, picked up just a single vote, as did Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.

Other winners included John Wall as the league's rookie of the year (68 percent); Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz as the league's best point guard (60 percent); Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks and Pau Gasol of the Lakers as the top power forward (29 percent); Howard as the league's top center (96 percent); James as the best small forward (68 percent); and Bryant as the top shooting guard (86 percent).

Bryant (79 percent) was the pick of the GMs as the player they'd rely on to take a shot with the game on the line.

Information from ESPN True Hoop blogger Henry Abbott is included in this report."
 
Interesting omissions on the coach who makes the best in-game adjustments and best coach in a close game.
 
:-)

and I'm glad you can spell better than Trout!

in other news, John Wall had a good game last night - this could be an interesting season! The Jazz-Wizards games should be good!

Why did they vote Oklahoma City as the most fun team to watch? That's crap, its Phoenix and it has been for a few years. Its good to know though that our HC Advantage is still alive and well

Jerry got no votes.

GM's got that right. Jerry is the best at preparing his team for the game, but he has no ability to make adjustments which also factors into the last 2 minutes of the game thing.
 
The thing that pisses me off is Deron got 50% of the vote for best PG but no votes in best passer, highest bball IQ or anything of that like.

It's talking about this upcoming season. If you think watching Phoenix a sub .500 Phoenix team this year is the most exciting team the NBA has to offer, then hooray for you and beer.

Non-sense. They picked Durant to be the MVP but the best small forward is LeBron...

I couldn't disagree more. How is Durant being predicted as the MVP nonsense? Durant very well could be the best basketball player in the world this year.

I think his point is that they picked Durant as MVP but not as the best small forward.
