HoopsHype recently compiled a list of the top 30 point guards in the NBA, in their opinion, and two generals from the Indiana Pacers belong on the list.
The rankings, published by Frank Urbina, are designed to predict point guard production for the 2024-25 season. Past performance matters, but the list is designed to project into the upcoming campaign.
Gold medalist and All-NBA point guard Tyrese Haliburton was among the best players in the NBA last season, especially in the first few months of the campaign.
The 24-year-old from Wisconsin is ranked fourth among all point guards. The only players ranked higher than Haliburton are Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Brunson. All three are formidable talents and were selected to All-NBA teams ahead of Haliburton.
Right behind the Iowa State product are Steph Curry, Tyrese Maxey and Ja Morant. The point guard position is well-stocked and Haliburton is close to the top 10 at the position.
Andrew Nembhard, the Pacers’ starting second guard who can naturally play point guard, also makes the list. He’s ranked 30th, the last spot listed.
Nembhard had a fantastic end to the season and is one of the most promising shooting guards in the league. He can do a little bit of everything and is strong on both ends. He averaged 9.2 points and 4.1 assists per game last season.
Nembhard is just behind Mike Conley, Terry Rozier and Scott Henderson on the list. TJ McConnell is not among the top 30 point guards on the list. HoopsHype’s full article can be found here.
