Points guards drafted in the top ten over the last ten years:

2008: Derrick Rose; Russell Westbrook; DJ Augustin (OJ Mayo listed as SG)
2007: Mike Conley
2006: Brandon Roy; Randy Foye
2005: Deron Williams; Chris Paul; Raymond Felton
2004: Ben Gordon; Shaun Livingston; Devin Harris
2003: Kirk Hinrich; TJ Ford
2002: Jay Williams; Dajuan Wagner
2001: None
2000: Jamal Crawford
1999: Steve Francis; Baron Davis; Andre Miller; Jason Terry
1998: Mike Bibby; Jason Williams

The NBA scouts are obviously pretty good at sizing up point guards and tweener shooting guards -- way more often than not, they get it right. The NBA scouts thought highly enough of Jay Williams to draft him #2 overall. Thus, it is way more likely that Jay Williams would have been a very good NBA point guard than a bust.

That's my conclusion. Feel free to form your own. Or if you're BPV or JZV, wait until Hat forms an opinion of his own, and then simply restate that opinion.
How many of those guys are you saying are very good NBA point guards?
