Ranking 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey and the top 30 NBA shooting guards
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.
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 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.
