2020 draft had the best guards all-time?  

Post#1 » by RoyceDa59 » Sun Nov 26, 2023 12:24 am

Legit all-stars, likely all-NBA players soon:
Anthony Edwards
LaMelo Ball
Tyrese Haliburton
Tyrese Maxey
Desmond Bane

Not to mention, potential future stars:
Vassell
Quickley
Cole Anthony

I can’t recall a draft that has this many high end guards. Is this the best guard draft of this century?

How would you rank them in a redraft?
Go Raps!!

that’s a pretty impressive list of players. 1996 is probably the GOAT still.

Bryant
Iverson
Nash
Marbury
Ray Allen
Fisher

1998 &1999 was deep.

1998: Mike Bibby, Jason Williams, Vince Carter, Paul Pierce, Rafer Alston, Ty Lue, Larry Hughes, Cuttino Mobley

1999 especially with point guards:
Steve Francis, Baron Davis, Andre Miller, Jason Terry, RIP Hamilton, Ginobli,

Yeah that's the answer. 1996 just had too many great guards. Put Nash, Iverson, Ray Allen or Kobe in this era where your shooting 10+ 3's a night and it's not fair.

1970 had a great class of guards, Calvin Murphy, Geoff Pietre, Pete Maravich (32 ppg without shots being counted as 3's probably closer to 35-36 ppg), Nate Archibald, Charlie Scott, Randy Smith.

The word probably doesn't need to be attached to this statement because it insinuates there is room for debate.
