The 15 Best NBA Shooting Guards Entering The 2026-27 Season, Ranked

Basically, this was a mess, but the same rules from the point guard ranking apply here: current level first, then efficiency, defense, impact, playoff performance, availability, and how much I trust what we just saw going into 2026-27.

How do you rank a shooting guard who shot 25.0% from three but was also one of the best defenders in the entire NBA?

That was basically my Ausar Thompson problem.

He averaged only 9.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 73 games, although his 52.5% from the field was good because almost everything he does offensively comes around the basket.
