With the approach of the NBA preseason, besides the competition, everyone is most concerned about the selection of the NBA 75 stars. Although the official has not given a specific ranking, many media have already begun to predict, such as ESPN, USA Today and other media, but it is interesting that the well-known American media CBS did not make this ranking. They ranked the top 15 point guards of the active league today, which caused a lot of controversy. Let's take a look.
1-15, in order: Curry, Dongcic, Lillard, Owen, 1span, Paul Span, , , span2 Holiday , Simmons, Morant, Fox, Lowry, Murray (Nuggets), Westbrook, Conley and Smart this time Many players in the rankings are underestimated and some are overestimated. Let’s talk about the underestimated players one by one. Paul is the first to bear the brunt. Although Paul is 35 years old, although he does not have the athletic ability at his peak, But Paul has excellent team leadership and stable scoring ability.
Paul once led the underdog Thunder into the playoffs. In terms of team leadership alone, at least Irving has not proven himself? Although Paul may not be better than Owen in terms of personal tackling ability, Owen has never proved his ability to lead the team, and everything is useless without a record. Otherwise, can you say that with thick eyebrows is a better inside line than MVP Jokic? ? Obviously unrealistic,I think Paul is underestimated and Owen is overestimated.
Secondly, Simmons is overrated. If it is not better than the offensive aspect, Simmons will not lose anyone in any aspect, but it is because of the offensive ability that Simons is overrated. Sike pulled down. A player who doesn't even have the ability to shoot free throws. How high can you expect his ceiling? Perhaps in the future, if Simmons develops long-range shooting and self-confidence, his strength and personal ability can be ranked in the top four, but for now, it seems very unreasonable for him to be higher than Westbrook.
Westbrook is obviously underestimated, and Fox is obviously overestimated. So far in his career, Fox has not led the team to achieve decent results. Although the personal killing ability is outstanding, the problem of not leading the team is also It’s a headache. To be honest, I don’t think he is better than Conley. Conley has both offensive and defensive skills, and his experience and ball quotient are also top-notch. He also averaged 20+ points per game when he played for the Grizzlies and scored more points. Stable, Fox shouldn't even be ahead of Conley.
Westbrook is only 13th. I don’t know whether the American media deliberately provoked discussions or despised Westbrook. Westbrook averaged triple-doubles per game last season and led the perennial underdog wizards. In the playoffs, his team leadership and personal firepower are unquestionable. I even think he is better than the current Irving. Lowry does not have this ability. Although Murray has proven himself in the playoffs , But still a second-in-command. He and Lowry shouldn’t be ahead of Westbrook. To be honest, I think Westbrook is now the fourth point guard in the league after Curry, Lillard and Paul. , Irving fifth.
