    Default NBA player rankings by position

    To help me get started, post who you say the top 5-7 players are at each position in the NBA, for the 2009-10 season.

    Again, make it for next season. So, if a guy showed his age slightly this season, assume he'll be slightly worse next year.

    And, think offense and defense. And remember, defense isn't just shot-blocks or steals, it's a lot more than that.

    And, consider whether a guy helps make others better, or is really just a scorer who isn't too good at anything else. Etc.

    Aim for at least 5 at each position, and if you feel like going as high as 10, or even higher, go for it.

    And, if you feel like it, add an insightful comment about some or all of the players next to their name.

    Just to get started, not official:

    POINT GUARDS
    Chris Paul
    Deron Williams
    Tony Parker
    Chauncey Billups
    Devin Harris
    Steve Nash
    Jason Kidd

    SHOOTING GUARDS
    Kobe Bryant
    Dwyane Wade
    Brandon Roy

    SMALL FORWARDS
    LeBron James
    Carmelo Anthony

    POWER FORWARDS
    Kevin Garnett
    Tim Duncan

    CENTERS
    Dwight Howard
    Yao Ming
