NBA Power Rankings: Where is Fred VanVleet among point guards?
By Avishai Sol
After a slow start and some unreal expectations, Doncic is back to dominating. Just ask the Raptors. This was the year he was supposed to win the MVP and lift Dallas back into Finals contention. Instead, it had been the usual milling around in the bottom half of the playoffs before kicking it into high gear lately
Though only 22 years old, Luka isn’t a kid anymore. His warts should be taken into consideration, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that he’s one of the most singularly skilled players ever. He’s still nearly averaging a triple-double while shouldering an insane load.
Luka’s 2021-22 season hasn’t been as dominant as some Luka for MVP bettors may have hoped, but he’s still one of the best in the world and worthy of the No. 2 spot on this list.
NBA Power Rankings: Steph Curry is still up top.
The three most terrifying words in the history of professional basketball. Curry. For. Three.
Not much to debate here. Curry has been the unquestionable top dog and the PG position since he stole the crown from Paul in 2015. Curry’s Warriors have the 2nd best record in the West and are only poised to get better as now they have Klay Thompson to inject into their already gifted roster
There was a minute there where it looked like Steph was running away with MVP. While he’s still well in the running he’s come back down to earth a bit this past month.
Still contending for the MVP and the top seed in the NBA, not to mention making history every time he sinks a long ball, Steph’s rank atop of the point guard pyramid is one of the few constants in the NBA today.
Fred VanVleet has some big names to pass if he wants to gun for a spot in the top three.
