The NBA, as the pinnacle of global basketball, has always played a crucial role as a point guard. They are not only the initiators of scoring, but also demonstrate outstanding abilities on the defensive end. Here are the top five NBA active point guard players selected by American media. Let's take a look at which players have made it to the list.

Fifth place: James Harden

James Harden, an outstanding shooting guard, has shown remarkable performance on the offensive end. In last season's playoffs, he averaged 20.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game. Harden has become the core of the team's attack with his outstanding scoring ability and organizational talent. His three-point shooting, mid-range shooting, and free throw shooting rates are extremely high, contributing valuable points to the team at critical moments.

Despite a slightly poor performance in the playoffs last season, there were still two stunning performances. Harden is still considered the most outstanding passing master in the current NBA, and his next stop will become a hot topic among fans. If the championship is not yet crowned next season, perhaps the chance will gradually diminish, after all, time waits for no one.

Jay Brown, who had a slightly lackluster playoff performance last season, contributed an average of 27+7+3 in the regular season midfield. During the playoffs, his data declined to 22.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. However, his scoring ability and comprehensiveness still make him the attacking firepower of the team. He excels in breaking, shooting, and passing, creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Although his performance in the playoffs last season may have been questioned, there is no doubt that Brown is one of the best offensive and defensive balance players among the current NBA point guards. At the age of only 26, he is at his peak, and next season, Green Kai will still be one of the favorites to compete for the championship.

Third place: Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell has always been a scoring arrow for the Cavaliers. With his outstanding breakthrough and shooting skills, he is able to quickly accumulate points in the game and demonstrate calm and stable performance at critical moments.

In the regular season, Mitchell averaged 28+4+4 points per game, even scoring 71 points in a single game, setting a record for the highest single game score in active duty. However, in the playoffs last season, his performance was slightly weak, averaging 23.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game. If we don't consider the contrast between the regular season and playoffs, Mitchell is expected to be at the top of the list.

Second place: Anthony Edwards

Last season's playoffs, Minnesota's rookie Anthony Edwards became a shining star. He averaged 31.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game, demonstrating astonishing scoring ability and confidence. No matter where he is and what kind of defense he faces, he is able to play steadily at critical moments, with excellent skills and superb shooting skills.

Edwards is only 22 years old, very young, but has already shown the potential of a superstar. In five years, he is expected to become the new darling of the alliance.

First place: Devon Booker

Devon Booker, known as the undisputed number one shooting guard in the current NBA, has a unique scoring ability throughout the entire league. In the regular season last season, he averaged 28+4+5 points per game, while in the playoffs, he averaged 33.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game, with a stunning shooting percentage of 58.5%. Even the super scorer Durant paled in front of him.

Booker's superb shooting and excellent hand feel enable him to easily score under various defenses. His mid-range shots, three-pointers, and free throws have all reached a high level, making him the scoring king and leader of the team. Next season, the Suns are considered one of the most likely teams to become dark horses.

In summary, these five active NBA point guards have all demonstrated outstanding scoring abilities in the game. They are not only the scoring machines of the team, but also play an important role in defense, presenting exciting and unparalleled game scenes for fans. Looking forward to them bringing more refinement next season

The colorful performance brings more surprises and passion to the basketball world.

From James Harden's superb organizational skills to Jay Brown's comprehensive performance, to Donovan Mitchell's rapid breakthrough, and Anthony Edwards's decisive moments, these point guards each have their own unique characteristics on the field. However, the most eye-catching one is Devon Booker, whose scoring ability is simply an art of basketball. He is not only able to shoot, but also able to exert tremendous pressure on the defensive end.

In the fiercely competitive NBA league, every player is constantly evolving and improving their skills. The rankings of these five point guards may change next season, but in any case, they have brought endless fun and anticipation to basketball fans.

So, let's wait and see, looking forward to the arrival of the next season, and see if these NBA active point guards can continue to create miracles on the court, presenting us with more incredible basketball moments.
