The top 20 point guards of the 2024/25 NBA season

The 2024/25 NBA season is just around the corner, and with it comes a new series of rankings where we will analyze each position group in the league, from number 1 to 30. We start with the point guards, one of the most talent-laden positions in the league today. To determine this ranking, we conducted a vote and aggregated the results to achieve the most fair ranking possible.

At the top of this list are Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Haliburton, and Stephen Curry, five players who have proven to be elite. Doncic, the undisputed leader, has solidified his position with stellar performances that make him a strong MVP candidate. Gilgeous-Alexander continues to impress with his scoring ability and playmaking, while Brunson, Haliburton, and Curry continue to show why they are considered among the best at their position. Here are the top 20 point guards for the 2024/25 season:

1. Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks)

Doncic keeps elevating his game each year. Coming off a season where he led the league in scoring and led Dallas to the NBA Finals, he solidifies himself as the best point guard in the league.

2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder)

Gilgeous-Alexander has had an impressively ascending career. His ability to score from anywhere on the court and his defensive prowess place him among the NBA elite.

3. Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks)

Brunson has proven more than capable of leading the Knicks. His performance in last season's playoffs showed that he is among the best.

4. Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers)

Haliburton led the league in assists and showcased masterful game management, combining his passing ability with reliable perimeter scoring.

5. Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)

Although Curry is entering the final phase of his career, he remains one of the most dangerous players in the league with his ability to score from any distance.

6. Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia 76ers)

Maxey, last season's Most Improved Player, continues to impress with his speed and scoring ability. He is one of the most exciting young talents in the league.

7. Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies)

Despite a challenging past season, Morant remains one of the most explosive and exciting players in the league. His return will be crucial for Memphis.

8. Damian Lillard (Milwaukee Bucks)

Lillard faces the challenge of adapting to a new team, but his scoring and leadership abilities remain elite. We expect him to return to his best form this season.

9. De'Aaron Fox (Sacramento Kings)

Fox continues to improve year after year. His speed and scoring ability make him a problem for any defense and are crucial to the Kings' success.

10. Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks)

Young remains one of the best playmakers and scorers in the league, although Atlanta's lack of collective success raises questions about his ability to lead a winning team.

11. Kyrie Irving (Dallas Mavericks)

Irving continues to show flashes of brilliance, especially in the playoffs. However, his inconsistency and injuries keep him out of the top 10.

12. Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets)

Murray has shown in previous playoffs that he can be one of the best, but he needs to translate that success into consistency during the regular season.

13. Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons)

Cunningham continues to develop as one of the best young talents in the league. He has all the tools to become a star but needs more consistency.

14. Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers)

Garland has emerged as an excellent scorer and playmaker, leading Cleveland to the playoffs and showing great chemistry with his teammates.

15. Fred VanVleet (Houston Rockets)

VanVleet remains one of the most underrated point guards in the league. His ability to run the game and score makes him invaluable to Houston.

16. LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets)

Ball continues to impress with his playmaking and scoring ability. If he can stay healthy, he should keep climbing this list.

17. Jrue Holiday (Boston Celtics)

Holiday is known for his elite defense and ability to score in crucial moments. He is a reliable veteran who raises the level of any team.

18. Jalen Green (Houston Rockets)

Green is showcasing his full potential as an explosive scorer. If he continues to develop his game, he could be a future star.

19. Marcus Smart (Memphis Grizzlies)

Smart, the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year, brings a defensive intensity few can match. He has also improved as a playmaker, making him a key piece for Memphis.

20. Jaden Ivey (Detroit Pistons)

Ivey has shown great potential in his rookie season. If he can improve his efficiency and consistency, he has the talent to rise quickly in this list.
