It’s time for another ranking list. This time, the list involves the top point guards.
Ryan Blackburn breaks down his list of the top 10 point guards in the NBA heading into the 2023-24 season based entirely on how positively they impact their respective teams in the regular season and the playoffs. Can anyone challenge Stephen Curry at the top of the list? Where does Jamal Murray rank next to other up-and-coming point guards like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ja Morant, and Tyrese Haliburton? Where do older stalwarts like Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, and Kyrie Irving rank?
From there, Ryan reacts to the news of a new ESPN trio covering NBA games that includes Doris Burke. Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy are out as the primary broadcast team to be replaced by Doris Burke and Doc Rivers, and Ryan thinks that will help ESPN’s coverage. Finally, Ryan shares Nikola Jokić’s best under-discussed skill that he discussed in today’s article: ball handling.
