Yesterday I gave my top 5 point guards, so today let's move another position through the lineup and talk shooting guards.
I have always found this position to be the most ambiguous on the floor as many of the guys tend to slide to the point position during many moments of the game, but a shooting guard is often a guy playing more off-ball.
Honorable mentions for me include Zach Lavine, Donnovan Mitchell and CJ McCollum.
This man is clutch. D Book really came to play this year in his first playoffs and though it seems like he's been in the league for forever, he is only 24 years old. He needs to improve on the defensive end to climb up this list, but this dude can get hotter than anyone in the league with his jumper.
A player who has the talent of a hall of famer but never seems to get himself together in the right moments. Depending on the game he is either playoff P or pandemic P and there is no in between really. He has great range and is a great force on the defensive end. Consistency is the only thing holding him back.
This guy is going to be special. He is making some of the most ridiculous shots I have ever seen and has been putting up all star numbers on a mediocre squad. Watch out for SGA to be putting up all star numbers over the next few years as the young Thunder squad look to improve.
Bradley Beal whines a lot during the course of the game, but still manages to put up like 40 points a night. Note that Beal plays on a team where he is the only real offensive option in the Wizards except for those random nights Bertans puts up 30. I wanted to see Beal get dealt to the Sixers, but I think he'll probably be in Washington for a while.
I think that a healthy Harden is probably the best player in the league. He draws fouls like nobody ever has before and has the craziest finishing ability I have ever seen. He is also fantastic at disguising whether or not he'll be passing the ball to his centers and is always a threat to put up a triple double as a result.
