Throw in John Wall, Eric Bledsoe,Damian Lillard, and Jeff Teague, and describing Calderon as about average is pretty accurate.

This is a guy who has been in the league leaders in assists and assist to turnover ratio the last few years. I know the age is a concern but I think you would be hard pressed to find 15 starting point guards better than Calderon currently. 1. CP3 2. Deron Williams 3. Kyrie Irving 4. Jrue Holiday 5. Russell Westbrook 6. Stephen Curry 7. Kyle Lowry??? 8. Brandon Jennings??? 9. Steve Nash??? 10. Tony Parker 11. Mike Conley 12. Goran Dragic 13. Jeremy Lin??? 14. Luke Ridnour/Ricky Rubio??? 15. Ty Lawson I left Rose & Rondo off the list but if they were currently playing of course they would both be in the top 5. The list is in no particular order, but it's pretty subjective anyway. If you base it off the body of work then Calderon is in the top 10 easily but if you base it off potential then he drops down about 10 spots. I will say that doing this excercise it is easier to see that there are quite a few good to great starting PGs in this league, pluse I only did about 1/2 the teams.
