In my eyes, the only import thing is the balance between the ballers. A center or power forward should not break ankles of guards. Of course, there are few exceptions, for example Josh Smith and Gerald Wallace, but the majority of big men should have a low value in quickness.
In my roster patch, quicker big men are around 50 in quickness (Bosh, Nowitzki, Garnett, Stoudemire are a bit higher). Other big men are between 30 and mid 40s.
Small forwards are very different. Some like LeBron, Durant, Anthony and Iguodala are quick like guards (between high 60s and mid 70s), others like Shane Battier or Boris Diaw, etc. are between 50s and mid 60s. The same differentiation for guards. Point guards are generelly much quicker than shooting guards. They need this quickness to score against taller players as they are the smallest in the league. In my roster patch, shooting guards are around high 60s and low 80s (only exception: Monta Ellis is in the 90s) and point guards usually have a value of at least 70 in quickness. Average value is high 70s to low 80s. Ankle breaker like Derrick Rose, Chris Paul or Devin Harris are above 94 in quickness.

Another variable of my formula is the amount of free throws per game in relation to the points per game. Players who are getting to the line more often, usually are quicker than others and get fouled when they penetrate. Typical quick ballers are LeBron, Dwyane, KD or Corey Maggette. They are penetrating a lot of time. The opposite are players with relatively few free throws. Typical players are Joe Johnson, Jason Richardson or many of the 3 point specialists. They can shoot the ball very well, but aren't very quick or athletic. They don't penetrate (low value in offensive abibility!) very often.

Another aspect is the ballhandling. Quickness has impact on steal ability (the more quickness -with constant steal ability- the more the players steals per game), but as well on the player's ability to penetrate, as I mentioned before.
I would suggest to assign a higher value of ballhandling to players with a high free throw per game rate and generally to point guards and many of the superstars.
Important note: A value under 50 results in a much more difficult touch when taking jump shots. Three point specialists should have a ballhandling value above. The other barrier is 60. Only players over a ballhandling value of 60 can perform a cross over or the front step feint move.

But this formula is not working in every case. Dwight Howard has the highest rate of free throws per game (> 10 per game), while only scoring around 18 to 20 points per game. And he's definitely NOT a ball handling genious like Lamar Odom (who doesn't penetrate very often). So there are some exceptions.

Finally, this is just my interpretation of these ballers.
