Now that we've had a full season and postseason, where do we stand on the leagues best floor generals? Here is my stance (note: I am talking about point guards who play point guard on offense and defense so Luka and Harden are out, you need a quick guard on the floor with them so they are more like lead playmakers than PGs to me)
Tier 1
1. Curry
Tier 2
2. Dame
3. Jamal Murray
4. Ja
5. Jalen Brunson
6. Halliburton
Tier 3
7. Jrue
8. Kyrie
9. Trae
10. Fox
11. Garland
12. VanVleet
Tier 2.5
13. LaMelo
This is hard. I just feel like Murray earned this ranking and Brunson was so damn good in the playoffs. Ja is still an incredible force at the rim and that rim pressure is so incredibly valuable. Fox and Kyrie are the hardest for me.

Not sure how Haliburton is a tier ahead of Trae or Garland.

Me neither. Idk if there is any separation from the 2nd and 3rd tier guys. I was just throwing a gut reaction out there. I am more interested in finding out what other people think separate some of these guys who are all super close if you ask me.

Re: Rank these current Point Guards now that the playoffs are over.
To me there are basically 3 tiers.
Curry tier, average tier, and below average tier. So many of these guys feel very situation and matchup dependent that comparing them is pretty tough. Like I'll admit Murry played at an extremely high level these playoffs, but if he was swapped with Jrue or VanVleet would the results have been much different? Hard for me to know for sure. Obviously once you get down to guys like Westbrook or Conley, yeah that's a different tier for me, guys that under no circumstances can be the #2 guy on a title contending team.
