Top 5 NBA Players in Various Positions-Shooting Guard

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, first of all, it is stated that this series of inventory takes the performance of recent seasons as a reference factor; it does not compete with history to accumulate honors, and only evaluates the field of battle. This is the second part of the series. Shooting guards are counted. Welcome to communicate.

The second position on the court, Shooting Guard, referred to as SG, shooting guard, also known as attacking guard. The role on the field is mostly to end the offense, and the defensive end is mostly to stare at the offensive outside players. Technical characteristics require a very stable shooting ability (early basketball did not have a three-point line, and the shooting referred to here refers to a mid-range shot that is more than ten feet away from the basket). The defensive end needs to have a strong defensive awareness and cannot miss people. No space can be left for the attacking team. Famous shooting guards in history include basketball god Jordan, Peter Pan Kobe, and logoman Jerry West, iceman George Gervin, answer Iverson and so on.

After decades of evolution of basketball skills and tactics, the position of shooting guard has gradually emerged with a more comprehensive technique. Especially after Jordan promoted NBA to the world, more and more shooting guards also have greater and more comprehensive requirements for their own skills, forming the "industry roll" of shooting guards, so the second position gradually evolved. It has become a stage for the front and back swingers to compete. The swingman of the forward and guard - as the name suggests, can be both a striker and a defender. This usually refers to the interoperability of position 2.3 on the court. striker swingman must not only be proficient in fixed-point shooting, but also have the physical talent of the third position, which can hold the ball to attack the opponent's inside line. In addition, on the defensive end, in addition to defending against players without the ball, they must also be able to defend against opponents. The third position punches the frame, and if necessary, it is necessary to make up the guard frame under the basket. It can be seen that the forward swingman has to touch the ball more on the offensive end than the traditional second position, and on the defensive end, it has to take on a larger defensive range than the traditional second position. At the beginning of the 21st century, there were two top guard swingmen Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce . Most of the current players in the second position have the technical characteristics and physical talents of the striker and swingman.Among them, the most distinctive features are Zaklawen and Jimmy Butler .

Now enter the topic:


5. Zakrawan

is just a ravin ? Don't stay in the impression flow anymore, he is now the league's leading efficient scorer. In the just-concluded last season, Zakravin averaged 27+5+5 in field goal percentage of 50%+42%+85% and ranked seventh in scoring. Remember the technical characteristics of shooting guards just mentioned? The first is to efficiently grasp the mobile phone meeting. If you can't have such characteristics at the peak of your career, then just do defensive work with peace of mind. However, the 13th overall shooting guard is often placed high hopes. LaVine has also played in the face of the Timberwolves management. Wiggins has already taken a high salary to do blue-collar work; and LaVine , Is doing what the superstar should do with a blue-collar salary. Even though LaVine is the most efficient one on the list, he still needs to prove that he can lead the team to win. He has not had a playoff experience in his 7-year career, what height can he reach this season...


4. Donovan Mitchell

Different from LaVine's high efficiency, Mitchell shows the other side of the stadium leader. He has a big heart to help the team move forward with difficult long shots. Strictly speaking, the Utah Jazz is based on Gobert as the core team.Mitchell is the icing on the cake. But in the last two seasons of the playoffs, Mitchell averaged 33.9 points per game, and now he still remembers his fight with Jamal Murray in the tiebreaker. Therefore, it is Gobert who determines the Jazz's lower limit, and Mitchell is the one who determines how far the Jazz can go in the playoffs. 20.5, 23.4, 24, and 26.4 are Mitchell's achievements each season. What kind of statistics will he tell the world this season that he is also worthy of the 13th overall shooting guard.


3. Devin Booker

Booker entered the awkward status of the ancient substitute two years ago. Booker's panel data is not good enough, averaging 25.5+4+4, and the three hit rate is 48%+34% +86%. This efficiency is only just passing in the backcourt. But the arrival of Paul liberated Booker's possession and he can be a more pure killer. Booker’s offensive style is somewhat similar to Durant, he almost dominates all the two-point areas except the three-second zone. In addition to many shots, his shooting rate is also quite gratifying, but too many three-point shots caused him to panel. The main reason why the data seems inefficient. But Booker entered the finals when he reached the playoffs for the first time. Although he finally bitterly, this result is already outstanding among his peers. Perhaps Booker is more suitable to emulate Wade and cooperate with a physically strong puncher. . The bonus period for the sun is running out, and Booker's future should not be here.


2. Bradley Beal

scored 90% ahead of the span in the season _span4At the last minute, he lost to Curry and missed the scoring champion. But of course, Bill's ability does not need to be proved by the scorer. After Wall was injured, Bill led the Washington Wizards alone. Although he did not make the playoffs before came, Bill's data was excellent enough, averaging 30.8+4.5+5 per game. Bill is different from most shooting guards. He is more like a pure scorer. From the hot zone map, you can see that any area is his attack range, and there is no difference between high and low, and the accuracy is about the same. He has been in the 100th round of offensive efficiency for two consecutive years and ranked among the top five in the league in offensive efficiency in 36 minutes. This season the Wizards traded Westbrook in exchange for Kuzma and Dingwidi and Harrell . It seems that Washington wants to carry out the bombardment to the end, and Bill seems to have increased the weight of the competition for the scoring champion.


1. James Harden

The well-deserved active first SG, and no one can shake his title of active first shooting guard before he is 35 . In addition to the championship, he has all the honors, MVP + 3 scoring champions + assists champion + 6 rounds. His MVP is also the only MVP with a shooting guard position since the Kobe MVP season in the 08 season. It is undeniable that this is the era of the decline of shooting guards. Unlike point guards, everyone is full of honors. Shooting guards have very few honors except Harden, and the bearded Harden is the last stubbornness of the shooting guard. He averaged 35.7 points + 7.5 assists per game in the two seasons of 2018-2020. After coming to the Nets, Harden reduced the ball and put more energy in organization and defense. The Nets last season was not a success.The reason is that there are no three big players on the court at the same time. The Nets still rank first in the championship odds this season. Whether it can start the Nets era is worth paying attention to.
