05/02/2012 02:58 Postseason Extra: A season of distinct highs, lows
The regular season is over, but as the playoffs get under way, our Chris Towers takes a step back to take a look at the season that was.
Steve Nash continued to defy the aging process in his 15th NBA season, averaging 14.7 points and 11.4 assists per game over 75 games. But at age 37, how much longer can that last? Nash finished seventh among all guard-eligible players in standard-scoring CBSSports.com Head-to-Head leagues last season. He failed to average 15 points per game for the first time since 2003-04 (his final season with Dallas before re-joining the Suns) and could continue to experience a decline in that aspect of his game. But his prowess as a passer should allow him to remain among the cream of the crop at the point guard position as long as he can remain healthy. He will remain a premium option for help in free-throw percentage and will also chip in about a 3-pointer made per game, but owners should consider the younger crop of elite point guards (Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo)over him given the significant possibility that his numbers could begin to decline sharply. Once those names are off the board, however, you'll find it hard to beat what he can still offer. (Updated 8/28/11)
