Is this the worst state of the SG position in NBA history, tbh?..

Harden is the best SG in the NBA, and he's an elite player, but he's very reliant on officiating/cheap calls and one of the worst defensive players in the league..

Kobe, like Harden, is one of the worst defensive players in the league, and we don't know what he will look like after the injury..

Wade is always hurt and can't play at a high level on a consistent basis anymore..

Who is left? Monta Ellis? Joe Johnson? Manu?:lol..

It looks like the 5 position earlier in this era with Shaq/Yao/Wallace + scrubs..

fuck that argie cunt, he's one of the worst. Johnson at least hit a few game winners last year and had a reasonable season

Idk but after watching this Rockets game I'd say Harden's defense is downright awful. Dude just looks lazy on D, like he couldn't care less to play any. I think he could be decent if he put forth an effort.

Tyreke Evans was the coveted SG free agent, that's the state of the SG position in the NBA

definitely not. it doesnt have prime star power anymore with wade's steep decline and kobe's questionable health but this years crop is still somewhat better than what 94 and 95 had to offer.

klay, kobe, wade, harden, eric gordon, beal, joe johnson, monta, ray allen are far better than hwat 94-95 has to offer with dumars,richmond, sprewell, nick anderson. john starks, jeff hornacek and reggie miller being the highlight of SG's. :lol


that 2 year span was so atrocious they were hyping jalen rose as the next big thing in draft night :lol

It's funny, tbh, because even at this stage of his late career, Manu is still a top 5 NBA SG. Perhaps that's more of an indication of the sad state of the position in the NBA than anything else, though, tbh. :lol

But yeah I agree with OP

However the same can be said for every other position (perhaps except for PG ........ maybe ....)



It's just that today's NBA is shit

SF is stacked tbh
SG sucks indeed, in that context Danny Green is a great value for his contract
PG has great talents
C is getting a bit better: Lopez, Gasol, Howard, Gortat, pek, chandler, hibbert, bogut... no all time greats by no mean but much more solid than it was
PF is full of TOSB and softies jump shooter aka Aldridge

Cavs should've drafted a PG with their #1 pick, then my nigga Irving would settle at SG and become the best of the league at this position, instead they used that pick to create what will turn out to be the biggest #1 pick flop since 02 tbh.

Just a complete 180 from the heyday of the shooting guard with Jordan, Drexler, Miller, and Dumars.

K. Bryant issued in the concept of an overrated, inefficient SG. If you look at a guy like Iceman, or his contemporary David Thompson, they both shot 50% from the field, and got to the line a ton. So did Jordan, and Jordan could also make plays for others to a greater degree than Gervin and Thompson, who were simply guys who could get a bucket at will. Bryant has always been terribly inefficient (124th on the all-time career True Shooting Percentage list), despite playing with dominant bigs (Shaquille, Pau, and to a lesser extent, Bynum) for most of his career. Harden's TSP is extremely high, and he's also able to create for others far better than Bryant. Hopefully Harden will begin a new wave of SGs that will play the game the right way, not the K. Bryant way.

i think this is a big reason why. the SF position is more stacked than ever, and many of them play styles similar to SGs.
