US media ranks the top 10 guards in the league for the new season: Harden is ninth, Curry is fourth, and only three shooting guards are on the list.

October 18th, today is the final game of the NBA preseason. After the preseason, the regular season is coming, and the US media also wants to earn another wave of traffic before the start of the regular season, so they will predict the new season's record, player strength rankings, and predictions for major awards, etc. It is worth mentioning that the US media "USA Today" recently ranked the top 10 guards in the league in the new season. This time, point guards and shooting guards were ranked together. Is it reasonable to take a look together?

Tenth Morant

As one of the most athletic point guards in the active league, Morant was initially considered to be a presence at the next level of the league. However, due to his lack of effort and frequent injuries, he has now withdrawn from the list of top point guards. There is already a gap between Morant and the first-line point guards in the league. If he wants to catch up with them, then Morant should improve his shooting ability and make his attendance rate higher.

Ninth Harden

Harden is one of the best ball-handling cores in the active league. Although he has lost his peak and his offensive ability has declined, Harden is still one of the players with the best team leadership ability in the league. He led the Clippers without Leonard to the playoffs last season. Although Harden's offensive ability is not good now, his organizational skills, defense and golf intelligence are still top-notch at the same position. There is no problem in ranking at this position.

Eighth Booker

Booker was the league's No. 1 shooting guard in the past few seasons. Due to his unsatisfactory performance in leading the team in the past few seasons, and his switch to playing as a ball-handling core, his performance has been questioned a lot. In the new season, Booker will return to the No. 2 position this season. This is an opportunity for him to prove himself. Booker is one of the best scoring players currently, but his defense and team leadership skills need to be improved. During the offseason, he got a two-year 140 million contract extension and found a good club.

Seventh Cunningham

Cunningham is one of the best ball-handling cores in the active league. His original draft template was Doncic, but his record in leading the team in the first three years of his career was not ideal. Last season was considered He soared into the sky. He led the underdog Pistons into the playoffs and played top point guard statistics, so he received more recognition. Last season was only the fourth year of his career. After entering his peak period, he has the opportunity to become a top ten player in the league.

Sixth Brunson

As a second-round pick, Brunson’s ability to reach such heights really surprised many fans. Looking at Brunson now, it is estimated that the Mavericks regret their original decision very much. , they were not even willing to give Brunson a four-year, 100 million contract, but he was snatched away by the Knicks. In the past two years, Brunson led the team to the conference semifinals. His singles ability and court control ability are extremely good. He should be the number one point guard in the Eastern Conference now.

Fifth Mitchell

The current No. 1 shooting guard in the Eastern Conference is also one of the top three shooting guards in the league. There are only three shooting guards on this list. It is commendable that Mitchell can enter the top five. Mitchell In the past few years, he has never missed the playoffs while leading the team, but due to the unreasonable lineup, he failed to help the Cavaliers go far in the playoffs. He is only 1.85 meters tall and is really at a disadvantage as a shooting guard. If he were 10 centimeters taller, the league might be over.

Fourth Curry

Although Curry has entered the end of his career, he is still one of the best shooters in the league. Everyone should have seen the previous game against the Trail Blazers. Curry still wants to score. It’s really hard to guard against Curry. In terms of scoring ability, if you look at the current backcourt in the league, there are definitely no more than three people better than him. Curry still has a chance to compete for MVP and championship in the new season. It is indeed very rare for him to have such ability at this age.

Third Edwards

is currently the strongest shooting guard in the league and is considered the successor of Jordan. His offensive talent is so good, he has top explosive power, and he also has a rich arsenal of offensive weapons. Now It can be said that there is no scoring method that Edwards does not know. He has led the team to the conference finals in the past two years, which has already demonstrated his ability. Moreover, Hua Zi is only 23 years old now and seems to be inexperienced. In the future, he has the ability to compete for the league's appearance.

Second Doncic

Doncic is actually the number one position in the minds of many fans, but he has not won any major honors, which also makes him ranked second. Doncic is the best ball-handling player currently in service. At the core, there should be no doubt about this. Doncic's singles ability is currently top-notch in the league, and he is only 26 years old and has not yet entered his peak period. He is already a top five player in the league. The Lakers have found an excellent cornerstone.

No. 1 Alexander

In this offseason, most media ranked Alexander first. This is understandable. After all, he won the league scoring champion, MVP and championship last season. Although his ability is not much different from Doncic, he won the championship after all and has an advantage in personal honors, so he is ranked first. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the rankings given by the US media this time? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
