Top NBA players at their positions Part 2




This part was a little more difficult when talking shooting guards. Some of these players can be called "combo guards" which means they can play multiple positions. Once again i ranked them based on shooting guard abilities, passing ,scoring , playing defense and clutch performers. When the games on the line do they have the ability to perform well when they are under a lot of pressure? (Gilbert Arenas could be considered a combo guard as well.)




My top ten Shooting guards for the up coming season




1. Kobe Bryant (Black Mamba), relentless scorer, best scorer in NBA, plays on both sides of court, (offensive and defense.) 3X NBA champion. Literally un-guardable, can score anywhere on court. There’s no better all around scorer playing right now. Ultimate, confident clutch performer. Lethal


2. Dwayne Wade (Flash), Relentless scorer, plays defense, open court master. 3pt shooting flawed, will return with a vengeance this season. Quick first step, good passer, pure scorer. Clutch performer. NBA champion


3. Tracy McGrady (T-Mac), Another pure scorer, injuries have slowed him down; can score from anywhere on floor, ok defender, decent passer. Clutch performer.


4. Allen Iverson (The Answer), Age hasn’t slowed him down, quick first step, can score from anywhere in the paint, MVP, clutch performer, ok passer, superb defender, fearless slasher, great body control.


5. Vince Carter (VC; Half man-Half Amazing), great scorer, decent passer, unmatched- air time and body control, decent clutch performer, now a 3pt threat, can score from anywhere in the paint.


6. Ray Allen (ray-ray), pure shooter, lethal 3pt shooter, bad defender, decent passer, not a clutch performer, puts the “shooting” in shooting guard, all rhythm no blues.


7. Emanuel Ginobili (Manu), Fearless slasher, great defender, clutch performer, good shooter, unmatched driving confidence, could be more durable. NBA champion


8. Richard Hamilton (RIP), unmatched stamina, Good scorer, good defender, NBA champion, only couple good seasons, can be slowed down, one of the best jump shooters in the game. Not a 3pt threat.


9. Ben Gordon (BG), emerging scorer, bright future, decent passer, developing clutch performer, great jump shot, good 3pt shooter, will be an all-star, decent defender.


10. Joe Johnson (JJ) breakout year, great scorer, lethal 3pt shooter, decent jump shot, good passer, point guard handling skills, all-star. Not a clutch performer, bad defender, prone to injury.
