This year's NBA draft class impressed fans and scouts when the top names performed splendidly well during the summer league a few months ago.

The 1^st overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns displayed the versatility he is known best, Jahlil Okafor is as good as advertised down low, Stanley Johnson just showed why he is the dark horse contender for this year's rookie of the year award, and Myles Turner for being a very well-rounded center for the Pacers.

But eyes are set on the point guards drafted early, the 2^nd overall pick of the Los Angeles Lakers, D'Angelo Russell, and the 7^th overall picks of the Denver Nuggets, Emmanuel Mudiay.

Now that talks are hot in Bleacher Report on what is the ideal point guard of today's generation. For Sports Illustrated's Lee Jenkins, both combo guards will be the mold of future NBA point guards coming in the league.

Starting with LA's new prized point guard: "In grabbing Russell, the Ohio State product, second overall, the Lakers finally and officially joined the small-ball revolution and the modern NBA. Now, they too employ a jitterbug who can bound around a high screen, sink a pull-up three or feather a telepathic pass, the bedrock of so much contemporary offense."

Mudiay, meanwhile is deemed as: "Emmanuel Mudiay, the No. 7 pick of the Denver Nuggets this past June, is a subpar shooter, but is quick enough, strong enough and fearless enough to attack the paint at will and generate scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates."

The only improvement Emmanuel Mudiay needs to work on is his outside shooting, which is usually perfected by practice. Who do you think will turn out as the better point guard five years from now?
