Dropping Dimes Staff Rankings: Week 17

This week, we forge ahead without the input of Ron Chow, who sent his regrets on not being able to send in his rankings. Week 17 consists of a six day week, as the NBA gives itself a long weekend during the all-star break. Happy Chinese New Year!

POINT GUARDS

It seems that Nash, Kidd and Iverson were ranked based on the assumption that they will be back on the court after the all-star break, despite them skipping the all-star game itself.
1. Gilbert Arenas (1.00)
2. Steve Nash (2.00)
3. Chauncey Billups (3.00)
4. Ray Allen (5.67)
5. Jason Kidd (6.33)
6. Chris Paul (7.33)
7. Allen Iverson (7.67)
8. Kirk Hinrich (8.00)
9. Deron Williams (8.33)...seems strangely low, but it’s a tough top five to crack.
10. Mike Bibby (10.33)
11. Maurice Williams (11.33)
12. Stephon Marbury (12.00)
13. Andre Miller (14.00)
14. Jason Terry (16.33)...two game week limits totals, but not efficiency
15. Jameer Nelson (16.67)...had the flu just before the break.
