I'm glad Nate is finally getting the recognition. He's had a great year so far. I notice that Melo Trimble is rated much higher and, sadly, probably will continue to be even if Nate has a better year. I didn't care much for Nate's point guard abilities in his first two years but he's done a great job at the point this year and I think is a better point guard at this point than Trimble. What might keep him behind Trimble is Trimble's bigger name and more consistent shooting and scoring ability over his career.
