The decline of the points guard! The US media rated active point guards, with only 5 players above A level, Huazi ranked first!

Recently, the famous American media Hoop Central ratings the active shooting guards, from the lowest F-level to the highest S-level, in total, six different levels were divided. Since they have been playing No. 1 or No. 3 this season, new MVPs Shea Kyrgyz Alexander and Devin Booker were not included in this list. Once this news was released, it caused quite a lot of discussion, because only 5 players in the A-level and S-level stars were selected. Therefore, fans also have to sigh that the past prosperous period of point guards is gone forever. Let’s take a look at who these five people are and how they performed this season!

1. Derek White

This season's data: 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks. Team: Boston Celtics

ranked third in the A-level is the Celtics. It has to be said that White once again played the best performance in his career this season. At the age of 30, he can output 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks in the regular season. The three-point shooting percentage reached 38.4%, and a total of 265 three-pointers were hit, which is extremely considerable in terms of efficiency and output. And it has to be mentioned that White's role on the defensive end is even more prominent than the team's soul, Marcus Smart, and his importance in the team is now comparable to Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Considering that his contract is only 4 years and 4 years of US$118 million, it can be said that he is the most cost-effective No. 2 position in the NBA today. In addition, although the team failed to defend the title this season, White still maintained an output of 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists in the playoffs, and his overall efficiency is also satisfactory. Therefore, even though he has never been selected into the All-Star lineup, White is definitely recognized by most fans on this list.

2.Daron Fox

This season's data: 23.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.5 steals

The team: San Antonio Spurs

ranked second in the A-level position, Fox, who has been playing No. 2 for a long time this season, although he failed to help the Spurs enter the playoffs, and he also had to undergo surgery at the end of the season due to a hand injury, and finally announced the season's reimbursement in advance. But looking at Fox's performance this year, the overall performance is still satisfactory, averaging 23.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game. This is Fox's data list for the Kings and the Spurs this year. Although he is still not good at shooting three-pointers, he dares to make a total of 118 three-pointers, which is quite satisfactory in terms of output. Of course, what the Spurs are interested in is his amazing speed and efficient breakthrough ability. Fox's offensive ability at the beginning of this season is really scary. He scored 60 points in a single game, which also set the highest record in his career. In addition, although not known for organization, this does not mean it will not be organized. The 6.3 assists this season are enough to prove his worth. However, since Chris Paul is likely to not return to the team, Fox will return to the familiar No. 1 position next season, so this list is also a compliment for his outstanding performance this season.

3.Taylor Herro

This season's data: 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, team: Miami Heat

. The first in the A-level ranking, perhaps many people did not expect that he is the core Hero of the Heat. This season is a milestone in her career for the 25-year-old Herro. Since the team and Jimmy Butler were unable to reach a consensus on the renewal of the contract and there was an irreconcilable conflict, but Butler was eventually sent away by the team, so Herro also became the team's first choice on the outside. After years of training, Herro did not disappoint the team. Heather averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage remained at 37.5%, and his total output also reached a good 251. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that Hero was successfully selected into the All-Star lineup and won the three-point competition championship. However, although he became the core of the team, compared with the big brother Butler, Herro's ability to lead the team was not enough. After staggering into the playoffs, they had no power to fight back against the Cavaliers, which ranked first in the East, and were eventually swept out by their opponents. In four games, Herro averaged only 17.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and he has always been good at only 9 three-pointers, which can be said to be a terrible performance. Therefore, if we want to help the Heat rise again, Herro still has a long way to go.

4. Donovan Mitchell

This season's data: 24 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.3 steals

Team: Cleveland Cavaliers

Due to their low-key style of play, although they have never missed the playoffs in the rookie season and have maintained a stable performance all year round, Mitchell is always used to being forgotten when talking about top shooting guards. However, during the regular season this season, Mitchell successfully completed a breakthrough. Although the data dropped to 24 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.3 steals, this was not Mitchell's ability decline, but his teammates had grown up. Mitchell was willing to split the ball and let them score points to help the team's prospects. Once it was a critical moment, Mitchell could also stand up and become a key figure in saving the team. It is precisely because of this that the Cavaliers won the first record in the Eastern Conference with 64 wins and 18 losses, and Mitchell was selected into the Best First Team, which is undoubtedly the best recognition of his performance this season.. However, although they were regarded as the favorite to win the championship, they lost their lead many times when facing the Pacers in the second round, but the Pacers seized the opportunity and were eventually swept by their opponent's gentleman and were eliminated in an upset manner. However, as the core, Mitchell's overall performance did not go a long way, averaging 29.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.9 steals per game. This is Mitchell's playoff data. It can be said that even if the team fails to win the championship, he deserves the respect of fans.

5. Anthony Edwards

This season's data: 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals, the team he works: Minnesota Timberwolves, finally, is the same S-level as Mitchell, and is nominally the first person, Edwards, who is only 23 years old. This season, the team lost Carl Anthony Towns. Although they got Julius Randle, there was a certain gap between Randle and Towns, so the Timberwolves' overall strength has declined. But in this case, Edwards stood up, and his average data increased to 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals. In addition to maintaining his usual offensive style of hitting the inside, his three-pointers also improved greatly. He made an astonishing 320 three-pointers this season, directly surpassing Stephen Curry and becoming the top three-pointer of the season. His three-point shooting percentage reached 39.5%, which is a very satisfactory number. It is also for this reason that Edwards was selected for the second consecutive year in the All-Second Team. Of course, the most important thing is that in this year's playoffs, he helped the Timberwolves defeat the Lakers and Warriors in a row, and entered the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year. Although he regretted losing to the Thunder, Edwards in the playoffs is still efficient, able to output 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists. For him, as long as he maintains the current speed of progress, he will have a chance to become the league's number one point guard, or even the first person in the future.
