An outstanding shooting guard makes good teams great. For the most part, solid two guards have both an inside and outside game and that play style allows their teammates to be even more productive. Many of them are lights out shooters and open up the floor, allowing the hyper-athletic point guards blow past their defenders and get to the cup; it’s almost the same with post players, except a great shooting guard dictates where the double team comes from.
In this ranking, the individuals are more than just scorers, since they get a lot of time with the ball in their hands.
