Shooting guards hold a crucial role on every NBA team, and the league is packed with elite talent at this position. But who stands above the rest? In a recent episode of his show, Patrick Beverley shared his top five current shooting guards, as reported by NBACentral.
His list kicked off with Anthony Edwards from the Minnesota Timberwolves, followed by Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks, and Paul George, now with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Rounding out the top five were DeMar DeRozan from the Sacramento Kings and Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns. Each player on Beverley’s list enters the 2024-25 season with a lot to prove.
Edwards is coming off a phenomenal season with the rising Timberwolves and shined with Team USA in the Olympics, setting the stage for even greater success. Meanwhile, Middleton aims to stay healthy and raise the Bucks back to the top of the Eastern Conference.
For George and DeRozan, both are looking for fresh starts with their new teams, hoping to lead them to deep playoff runs. Lastly, Booker is focused on making this the season where the Suns finally achieve their ultimate goal.
These five players aren’t just dominant shooting guards—they’re some of the league’s top talents. The big question now is which one will go furthest in the upcoming season and potentially lift a championship in 2024-25?
