So far, during the 2023-24 NBA season, we can see that the NBA has a lot of great point guards. We can see a lot of skinny and short point guards who have become some of the best players in the NBA.
To this end, the American media listed the 25 best point guards in the NBA after the 2023-24 All-Star Game, and divided them according to their performance and strength in the 2023-24 season, let's take a look at which point guards are overrated or underrated.
First gear: Stephen Curry, Alexander, Doncic
Doncic is averaging 34 per game2 points, 88 rebounds, 95 assists; With 492% shooting, 375% three-point shooting. Alexander averaged 31 per game1 point, 55 rebounds, 65 assists, 22 steals. Stephen Curry averages 280 points, 44 rebounds and 50 assists; Shooting percentage 462% and 42 three-point shooting1% and 92 free throw percentage2%。
In terms of stats, the three players are not too much of a problem in the first gear, but Stephen Curry is too old, and sometimes his form is not as ideal as expected, that is, relying too much on Draymond Green. Stephen Curry has a good chance of falling out of one gear, of course, not this season, and in the 2024-25 season, it's hard to say.
Second gear: Haliburton, Jalen Brunson, Maxey, Lillard, Trae Young, Fox
In the 2023-24 season, Haliburton averaged 218 points, 117 assists. Jalen Brunson averages 27 per game6 points, 65 assists and 09 steals. Maxey averages 25 per game7 points, 64 assists and 10 steals and shooting 449%。Lillard averages 24 per game6 points, 67 assists. Trae Young averaged 26 per game7 points, 109 assists. Fox averages 26 per game8 points, 41 rebound, 55 assists and 19 steals.
It feels like Jalen Brunson is underrated now that he should be in first gear. With a four-year, $100 million contract, and just two seasons after joining the Knicks, they became a powerhouse in the East. Maxey has also been criticized for failing to lead the team to win more games after Embiid's injury. It's not okay to get better just the data. The rest are not overrated or underrated, and none of their performances are too impressive.
Third pot: James Harden, Jamal Murray, Jrue Holiday , LaMelo Ball, Garland, Koby White, Cunningham
James Harden averages 17 per game5 points, 84 assists. Jamal Murray averages 20 per game5 points. 6.5 assists; Juholdi averaged 13 per game1 point, 59 rebounds and 48 assists. LaMelo Ball averaged 23 per game9 points, 51 rebound and 80 assists; Garland averaged 18 per game2 points and 59 assists and 47 percent shooting1%。Kobe White 196 points, 47 rebounds and 53 assists and 46 shooting percentages3% and 39 percent from three-point range7%。Cunningham averaged 21 per game9 points, 41 rebound, 75 assists;
James Harden fell out of second gear normally, in the Clippers, his responsibility is more to assist Paul George and Leonard, if you say well, the strong dragon does not suppress the snake, James Harden first came to report to grab the offensive ball, it is definitely not good. After all, in order to make James Harden a better version of himself, Wei Shao took the initiative to enter the bench.
It feels like Jamal Murray is underrated, but considering he has Jokic by his side, he is still not favored to move into a higher position. Zhu Holiday, who is both offensive and defensive, helped the Celtics rank first in the league this season.
Pot 4: Westbrook, D'Angelo Russell, Mike Conley, C.J. McCollum, Van Vleet, Quickley
Wei Shao averaged 11 per game4 points, 54 rebounds and 46 assists. D'Angelo Russell averages 17 per game5 points, 63 assists. Mike Conley is currently averaging 106 points, 64 assists and 10 steals. CJ McCollum averages 19 per game0 points, 46 assists and 11 steal. VanVleet averaged 16 per game5 points, 82 assists and 11 steal. Quickley averaged 16 per game5 points, 40 rebounds and 58 assists.
After Wei Shao entered the Clippers bench, he became the spiritual leader of the team, and Wei Shao's current state, if he plays the starter, there is no problem averaging 18+5+5 per game. D'Angelo Russell put it bluntly, that is, there are not enough opportunities to perform, and the state is not stable enough, but as long as the stability is certain, there is no problem with an average of 19+5+8 per game. CJ McCollum felt underrated, suffering a heart and lung collapse injury early in the season. The rankings of the rest of the people are not too much of a problem.
Pot 5: Kiyot George, Tyus Jones, Tre Jones
Kjot George was the 16th pick in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft and averaged 11. per game with the Jazz in his rookie season7 points and 4Statistics of 3 assists. Tyus Jones currently plays for the Wizards, averaging 126 points, 68 assists and 11 steal. Tre Jones, who plays for the Spurs, has been an efficient offense since returning to the starting line in January, shooting 53 from the field3%, 11 per game9 points, 70 assists and 13 steals. There are only three people in the fifth gear, none of them are overrated or underestimated, and all three of them still have some room for improvement.
