![]() ![]() 20, and might rank even higher were it not for him having to share point-guard duties on the Charlotte Hornets with a certain second-year stud who’s coming up later in our ranking. Terry Rozier (Charlotte Hornets)Ģ020-21 stats: 20.4 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 4.2 apg, 3.2 3PTM, 45.0 FG%Įxplosive scorer Terry Rozier comes up next on our list at No. Rose will need to keep that outside shooting going strong next year for a Knicks team that needs help from beyond the arc, especially if he continues to decline athletically. Derrick Rose (New York Knicks)Ģ020-21 stats: 14.7 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 4.2 apg, 1.0 spg, 38.8 3PT%ĭespite many questioning why the New York Knicks would trade for Derrick Rose midseason, Rose had a great second half with New York in 2020-21, putting up almost 15 points per contest and dishing out over four helpers per game, despite having to share a lot of the ball with first-time All-Star Julius Randle.Īiding Rose’s resurgent campaign was his 38.8 three-point percentage for the league year, the best mark of his career by a wide margin, which helped make up for the fact that he shot just 51.7 percent from within three feet of the basket, the second-worst mark of his time as a professional. The San Antonio Spurs will need even more from the elite rebounding point guard in 2021-22 on the scoring end, but with the departure of DeMar DeRozan and the team fully committing to their young core, it’s easy to project Murray’s scoring and assisting numbers improving even further this upcoming league year. It was the offensive side of things where Murray had to show progress last season, and after a campaign that saw him put up over 15 points and five assists per contest while shooting a healthy 45-plus percent from the floor, it’s safe to say he was able to accomplish just that. Dejounte Murray (San Antonio Spurs)Ģ020-21 stats: 15.7 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 5.4 apg, 1.5 spg, 45.3 FG%Īn absolute freak defensively thanks to long arms, quick feet and straight-up tenacity, Dejounte Murray is already widely considered one of the best ball- and point-stopping point guards in basketball. Just missed the cut: Dennis Schroeder, Marcus Smart, Reggie Jackson, Jalen Suggs, John Wall. The one player who’s notably missing from the list is Jamal Murray, but that was injury-related and not because we don’t think he’s one of the best floor generals in the game.īelow, check out how we ranked the Top 22 point guards for the upcoming NBA campaign. Today, we start things off with the Top 22 point guards for the 2021-22 season, a difficult exercise due to how loaded the position is with top-notch ball-handlers, elite playmakers and confident bucket-getters.įor this exercise, we had each of our writers and editors put together their own lists and aggregated out the averages to rank the players.
