18. . SG. Boston Celtics. Jaylen Brown. 3. player

Jaylen Brown continues to get better with each passing year. A deadly slasher who can make every shot on the floor, Brown has grown to complement Jayson Tatum rather seamlessly after years of speculation about the wings’ fit in Boston. He’s a high-level defender too, especially when the lights are bright.

SG. Cleveland Cavaliers. Donovan Mitchell. 2. player. 156.

Donovan Mitchell might be getting MVP buzz in a normal year, but the sheer volume of wild offensive outputs around the league has left his magnificent first-season run in Cleveland on the back burner for a lot of media entities. But make no mistake: Superstar Spida has arrived, and he’s maybe the most electric slasher in the NBA not named Ja Morant.

Devin Booker. 1. player. 66. . SG. Phoenix Suns

Devin Booker has cemented his place atop the shooting guard list, despite Phoenix’s team-wide struggles. A patient scorer with unmatched footwork and craft, Booker has developed into a genuine lead creator and one of the NBA’s most prolific pull-up shooters. The cherry on top is his development into a reliable defender.
