Rank the best SG in the game right now...

[dirk4mvp]

Any list without Monta leading the way is shat.

As far as SGs go, it's wade/Kobe changing 1 and 2 spots all the time. Just a testament to how weak the position is now.

At least best Shooting Guard is somewhat arguable. Small Forward and Center have been locked up by the same two players for years.

[fevertrees]

Belinelli is in the top 5 for sure

[HarlemHeat37]

1. Wade
2. Bryant
3. Ginobili
4. Ellis
5. Johnson

most great players who're capable of playing SG would prefer to play SF or PG imho, leaving a vacuum at SG. wade is that greatest SG of the league now w/o a doubt, kobe is a distant 2nd place while the rest full-time SGs are nowhere close to them tbh

I understand the fascination with PG, but what makes SF such a glorified position? The chance to play "point forward"?

[Latarian Milton]

manu/kobe/monta are the only known names who play SG 100% time imho

[endrity]

The position really took a bad turn the last 2-3 years. Manu keeps getting injured. Roy got hurt and retired. Vince, Rip got old. Ray Allen keeps playing well but he is past his prime. AI went broke. I think Joe Johnson is alright, too many people focus on his overvalued contract.
So it's probably
Kobe
Wade


Joe Johnson
Manu
Harden
Monta

Yeah, but after 1 & 2, nobody gives a flying who is #3,4,5...etc

The position is weaker now than it has been in decades.

I have not seen much from Wade this year to say he is better than Kobe. I wish Kobe would shoot a bit less. But considering Wade has been injured part of the year, this year Kobe's 1st team ALL NBA over Wade will be more deserving than last year when I thought maybe Wade has passed him ...

Probably true. Look at the mid to late 90s during Jordan's last few seasons with the Bulls. Guys were there to emerge like Kobe, Iverson, Penny, Ray Allen, then Vince and T-Mac. And even guys like Eddie Jones and Michael Finley gave the SG position some depth in the league.

Right now, after Kobe and Wade, the SG position looks pretty bad, especially when you look at the younger SGs who should carry the league 5 years down the line. DeMar DeRozen? OJ Mayo? Nick Young? How pathetic the younger SGs are in this league, BR may look like a prophet when Marco Belinelli is a top 3 SG in 5 years.
