NBA Free Agency: 5 Best Point Guards Available in 2018

#1 Chris Paul

Chris Paul had the best postseason of his career with the Rockets

Chris Paul could have been the man who ended the reign of the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. His Game 5 performance in the Western Conference Finals gave Houston a 3-2 lead. Unfortunately, it was also his last performance in the series, as a hamstring injury late in the game caused him to miss games six and seven, which the Rockets lost.

Paul is one of the best point guards of the 21st century; he led the league in steals six times and in assists four times, he has nine All-Star appearances, nine All-Defensive selections and eight All-NBA selections. He is also the only player in NBA history to average over four assists per turnover with more than 8000 career assists.

His preferred landing spot might be his current team, the Houston Rockets, trying to return to the conference finals and this time go all the way. Nevertheless, he will also want to get paid, as reports say he looks for a max contract. If Houston is not willing to do that, teams with cap space and championship aspirations will.
