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

Spencer Dinwiddie has been the perfect backcourt complement to Luka Doncic. He’s hitting 40 percent of his 3s, providing rock-solid defense at the point of attack, and carrying water for the second unit when Doncic sits. He’s a great slasher who’s perfectly positioned to attack skewed defenses while Doncic commands infinite attention.

Jordan Clarkson has improved drastically as a passer this season in addition to his impressive individual scoring talent. Utah entrusted Clarkson with a spot in the starting five and has been well rewarded. His twitchiness and shot-making talent are genuinely special, and he’s weaponizing his talent more efficiently than ever.

Alex Caruso is on the shortlist of best defensive guards in the NBA. Very few perimeter players can anchor a defense like Caruso: he’s all over the place, giving max energy at all times and consistently forcing stops. He’s not the flashiest offensive player, but he processes the game quickly and plays excellent, unselfish, complementary basketball.
