 It is that time. I don't need these headphones anymore because there's no audio. Welcome back to REACTS. They released a shooting guard episode or article. We did point guards yesterday and y'all seemed to enjoy that. I saw some of the comments again. You can agree or disagree with what we say around here, but it seems like everybody kept a civil in the comment section. That's all we really care about. So, link is in the description to the actual article. It again is Andy Bailey and Dan Fevelle. And I still don't know if I pronounced his name right, so no disrespect if I'm not saying it right. But these are the top 15 shooting guards this season. Forget your resume before. This is strictly based on this season. That's the way I always see it when somebody says this season. Okay? So, let's get into it, man. Number 15, Danny Green. Tim Hardaway, Jr. Evan Fornier, Buddy Hew, and Marcus Smart. Shout out to Marcus Smart for making this list. That makes me so happy. Danny Green. Danny Green is, I mean, one of those players that every NBA team would love to have. He plays his role so well. There's not many people that play their role to the extent that he does, right? He's going to knock down that shot when you give it to him. He's going to play elite level defense. He's going to be one of the best. What is he very good at? Getting back on defense on like a fast break. Fast break defense. Danny Green is elite. Why? I don't know. I mean, he may not have a crazy chase down like LeBron James, but as far as just like preventing another team from scoring where he's the only guy back, great. He's amazing at it. And of course, again, he's older too. So maybe his impact may be not as good as it was last year or the year before that. Overall though, Danny Green is such, such a good player. And that's why he continues to get these contracts. Tim Hardaway Jr., man. I always see Tim Hardaway Jr. as like a flamethrower type of player. We're like, when he's on, he's on and he's looking great. And I guess I'm thinking about a microwave, right? And when he's off, sometimes he can look really, really off. But more than not, this season, he's been on, right? He has been on. The 2019-2020 season may be the best of Tim Hardaway's career. He's supposed to career highs and threes per possession, 3-point percentage, true shooting percentage and win shares. And you're hitting all of that in a single season. You're looking good. The Dallas Mavericks have been plus 12.7 points per 100 possession and 98th percentile when Hardaway is on the floor with Luca and a plus five when Luca is on the floor without Hardaway. So there's the big difference, right? You know, a big difference between 12.7 and just a five. Tim Hardaway and Luca has a nice connection on the court together. Actually, on my podcast, we actually talked about that today, which is very weird that it's coming up. Evan48. Evan48 is one of those players that made you overlook because he plays in Orlando and overall, Orlando's like a good but mediocre team at the same time. But this year, he has been very, very good. He isn't just a catch-and-shoot option either. He's done plenty of damage off the dribble. Shay, Chris Middleton, Kimba, James, Lillard are the only players in the lead who match or exceeded his field goal attempts and affect the field goal percentage on pull-up attempts this season. Legendary. See, I didn't know that. I mean, that's a great company to be in with Kimba. These are all-star players other than like Shay, but these are all-star players and he's in that same conversation on that one statistic that is also a very important statistic for a wing player. Buddy Hill. We know Buddy Hill is good at that thing, you know? Prior to seeing Steph Curry four times and Steven Novak, the only player in history with a season that matched Buddy Hill's three-pointers, you already know that. Then Marcus Smart again, bro. Oh, Zach Levina, 10. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. But Marcus Smart. I mean, if I'm picking a guard player to build my team around defensively, I have to pick Marcus Smart, bro. I have to. As far as impact goals, the man is ridiculous. You know what I'm saying? He is ridiculous on the defensive side of the ball, so I'll take that at 11. Number 10, Zach Levine. I would have to see who's above him, but I think I usually put him around Adish personally because I get to watch him every single night and I know the type of burden he has with playing with the Chicago Bulls. I know a lot of people don't like him because he is like, hey, I'm going to get me points and people see that as empty stats. But one thing I can say about Zach Levine, he's never been in a situation where his team should be good. You know what I'm saying? So I hope that the Bulls eventually get good enough with Zach Levine or that we trade him to a situation where he can be seen differently because I hate the idea of empty stats like Maté Ellis guided a bunch, just players like that, that, yes, I'm great at scoring the ball, but I've never been on teams that are really good, so my stats are considered empty to the general public. When I know that if Zach Levine was not on the Bulls, we are the worst team in the league. I honestly believe that. Without Zach Levine, we are the worst team in the league. That's how much of an offensive impact he's had. And over the course of the year, he's been to Chicago. His defense is getting better. His playmaking is getting better. His decision-making is getting better. Have to remember, he's still a young NBA player. But him being at 10, I'm not going to fuss about. I'm not going to fuss about. Depends on who's above him. And that's, yeah, I'm not going to fuss. I'm not going to fuss. CJ McCullough, man. I'm not going to fuss about CJ being over Damien Lillard at this point of their respective careers. I would hope that eventually when Zach Levine is CJ's age, he might be higher than nine. But CJ deserves a lot of credit is what they're saying when viewing his game through a lens of a conventional stardom. CJ is probably never going to make an all-star game. And he'll probably always be second fiddle to Damien Lillard. But he's like one of the best second fiddles you can have in the NBA. So I agree with CJ being at this point as well. Next, Don Vimichu at eight. Wow, that feels low. That feels low. But I have to see who's above him. Especially when you think about Don Vimichu. Again, we're only testing off this season. Keep that in mind. With the offensive burden that he has a lot on, you know, especially with Mike Connelly coming in and not being the Mike Connelly that we hope. And I hope that Mike Connelly was great. I am a Mike Connelly fan. I don't have many like, you know, those Jersey shirts with like a shirt, but it also got the name on the back. I have a Mike Connelly one. I have three. I have three of my entire collection. And one of them is Mike Connelly when he's with the Grizzlies. So like, I really love Mike Connelly. So when I saw him ended up in Utah, I was like, yes, let's go. And he just didn't end up that way. So Mike Connelly being bad, Don Vimichu was like, okay, I got to do more than what I did last year. Luckily they have by Donovitch and Joe Wiggles to come in and help as well. But okay, I can agree with him at around eight. Shea seven. Hey, if you're a kid, if you're a fan of the chatter, you know that she is my guy. He is my guy. But seven over Dono over Zach seven. Oh, hey, I believe he will be there. Seven. I mean, it does. It does. That's actually very interesting. Okay, I can see, again, I don't say I agree with it, but I can see you putting him over Zach Levin over CJ McCullough. Putting him over Don Vimichu is what's really curious to me. Because I mean, the knock on Zach Levin, of course, the team can't win. Don Vimichu's team has always been in the playoffs as far as he's been in his career. And Shea's on a playoff team as well. But you get what I'm saying? And I think Don Vimichu holds way more of an offensive burden than what Shea does. Considering Shea has the best closure in the NBA on this team this season. And everything like that. But it is okay. Let me see. All the tricks Shea, Gilgis Alexander, Flash as a rookie have proved to be a prelude. First of all, I must say I was very early on the Shea-Gilgis train. I saw him play his first game of Summer League and I was like, that's going to be my guy. I'm going to just say that. I'm just going to say that right now. He's no longer a young prospect ahead of the schedule. He's one of the NBA's most underrated scorers. Shea-Gilgis Alexander has made great use of the extra licensed O.K.C. Thunder, the 10%. It's very weird to see him. His all-star peak isn't yet in play. It feels inevitable. I do think he will make some all-star games in his career. It's very weird to have him over a guy that was literally an all-star this year. You know what I'm saying? I don't get it. But I can check the web for it. That just scared the absolute. My soul jumped out of my body. Next. Six. Jaylen Brown. I like Jaylen Brown at this point, man. Jaylen Brown acquired a lot of the doubters when he got that paycheck this offseason. They were like, max contract with Jaylen Brown. He didn't really accomplish anything on the offensive side of the ball. We knew his defense was good. And then this year, he's like, I'm an average of dub. I'm an average of dub. I'm going to shoot it very efficiently. 38% from three is very good. And then 55% on his twos. I can knock your plane about Jay Brown because he is a two-way player. And I'm saying if I'm picking a young up-and-coming guy, and I still consider him up-and-coming even though he's been in leave for what, four years now. He is also on the short list of young players that I would want to build a team around just because of his two-way ability. Still feels weird that he doesn't have his flat top anymore. Next. D-Book. D-Book at five. That's probably the highest I've seen him because D-Booker's another guy similar to like Zach Levine where people saw his numbers as empty. So I'm happy that he's getting some respect as the fifth best shooter on the league right here. Some of y'all may say that he deserves to be higher, but I think five is a good spot. We know him to be one of the best offensive players in the NBA. His team's front office hasn't been able to really build a team around him to be successful. But they're heading to the bubble, man. Anything can happen in the bubble. Four. Drew Holiday is really high. And again, I agree. He's damn good and underappreciated. I'd probably put D-Book above him, at least about one. Personally. Personally. And I know Drew Holiday has closed out a few games this season, but again, the offensive burden may be not as high as it is here. And in reality, their teams are kind of close in the standings anyway. I understand Drew Holiday being a two-way player. I mean, he can garf three and a half positions and stuff before seems a bit high. And I love me some Drew Holiday. Acting Drew Holiday is the second out of those three shirts that I have. It's my college Drew Holiday. And D-Rose. You know what I'm saying? And D-Rose. Bradley Bill at three. Bradley Bill's average at 30 points per game this season. He's been incredible. People were saying that once John Wall comes back, he won't average great numbers, but like, come on, bro. Bradley Bill is a bucket. He's turned into the star of that team. I don't care. Like, John Wall's great. Don't get me wrong. And I don't know if he'll be great once he comes back. But Bradley Bill is the star of that team, is what I'm saying. Three Bradley Bill, two Paul George. All right. Is there a more plug and play superstar than Paul George? I would say that for some reason, and correct me if I'm wrong in the comment section, this feels like a down year for Paul George. Maybe because last year he was an MVP candidate and that's kind of what I expected this year. It's an unrealistic expectation. I know he's been good this season, but for in my brain, it feels like a down year. But overall, great player, great player. The number one y'all know is going to be James Harden. Who else could it be at the best shooting garden NBA? All right. I mean, I don't hate this list. There are some things that I don't agree with, but that's the best thing about being a fan of sports is that you can disagree respectfully and just have a dialogue. Leave a like if you enjoy. I'll be back. Peace.
