The list to date:
22. Carmelo Anthony, Denver
23. Kevin Martin, Sacramento
24. Andrew Bynum, L.A. Lakers
25. Tony Parker, San Antonio
26. Caron Butler, Washington
27. David West, New Orleans
28. Allen Iverson, Denver
29. Tracy McGrady, Houston
30. Baron Davis, L.A. Clippers
31. Brandon Roy, Portland
32. Josh Smith, Atlanta
33. Jose Calderon, Toronto
34. Rasheed Wallace, Detroit
35. Shawn Marion, Miami
36. Antawn Jamison, Washington
37. Monta Ellis, Golden State
38. Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City
39. Rudy Gay, Memphis
40. Tyson Chandler, New Orleans
41. Corey Maggette, Golden State
42. Shane Battier, Houston
43. Ron Artest, Houston
44. Danny Granger, Indiana
45. T.J. Ford, Indiana
46. Michael Redd, Milwaukee
47. Gerald Wallace, Charlotte
48. Josh Howard, Dallas
49. Andre Iguodala, Philadelphia
50. Andris Biedrins, Golden State
Of course I'm not saying that just because Fanhouse said so it makes it true, but looking at that list...the only person I'd really even think about putting Kidd ahead of is Shane Battier.
So, what do you think? Is Jason Kidd still a top 50 player in this league? Is he even a top tier point guard? Because if you agree with that list, TJ Ford, Monta Ellis, Jose Calderon, Brandon Roy, Baron Davis, Allen Iverson, Tony Parker, and I'm assuming Steve Nash are all players who play the point guard position at least some of the time that are better than Kidd.
