US media commented on top five point guards in the NBA next season: Mitchell is second, Huazi is at the top of the list without any suspense

Scoring guards have a very high position in the NBA now. After all, they generally bear the heavy responsibility of the team's main scoring points. The team's offensive ceiling generally depends on the performance of the point guard. Recently, US media HoopsHype has named the top five point guards in the new season of the NBA. Let’s take a look at who they are!

5: Booker

As the star of the Suns, Booker actually took on the team's main offensive point after Durant left the team in the offseason. The offensive level of the Suns next season is still a very test for Booker's performance. Last season, he averaged 25.6 points per game, and his shooting percentage declined significantly compared to before. However, this is also because the Suns were too chaotic last season. Now Durant and Bill have left the team one after another, and Booker has returned to the familiar environment.

As the top scorer in the league and the first 70-pointer in the active NBA, Booker's scoring explosiveness is still very outstanding as long as he can find the game feeling. So Booker's performance in the new season is also a major highlight. Let's look at his future performance!

4: Jaylen Brown

After Tatum's Achilles tendon injury last season, the Celtics' new season plan has completely changed. They knew it would be unrealistic to attack the championship again, so they sent away players such as Holiday and Possian in exchange for some draft picks. Under such circumstances, Jaylen Brown became the absolute core of the Celtics next season. In fact, Brown has always played as the second core of the Celtics, so his scoring data is often not an exaggeration. Last season, he averaged 22.2 points per game, which is just the data he got when he averaged only 17.7 shots per game.

He doesn't have much shot. In fact, if he gives him enough ball, Brown can still play very beautiful data. In the 22-23 season, he averaged 20.6 shots per game. When Tatum couldn't play, Brown's shots in the new season will only be higher than before, and he is expected to play the best season in his career.

3: Jaylen Williams

As the second core of the championship team Thunder, Jaylen Williams performed very well in the game. Last season, he even insisted on playing in the playoffs with a hand injury, which was quite mamba-like. Moreover, in the finals, Jaylen Williams also scored a 40-point feat in a single game, and his performance at critical moments is obvious to all, so in the offseason, the Thunder decisively renewed his contract with a 5-year, 239 million contract.

Last season, Jaylen Williams averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. He is also the best scorer around Alexander. After gaining championship experience in the new season, his performance on the court is more worth looking forward to. Let's see what kind of surprises he can bring to everyone!

2: Mitchell

Mitchell, as the 13th pick in the 2017 draft, has been refreshing everyone's perception since he entered the league. After all, he was able to eliminate the Thunder Three in the playoffs in the rookie season, and he has played better and better since then, and he can keep improving every season. However, although Mitchell often led the team to the playoffs during the Jazz, he was far from the championship. That's why the team chose to rebuild, and under such circumstances he came to the Cavaliers.

Mitchell, in the Cavaliers, is still the first core of the team. Last season, he even led the team to the top record in the Eastern Conference. If many players in the Cavaliers lineup were not plagued by injuries in the playoffs, they would have a chance to go further. Therefore, with the Cavaliers' lineup in the new season, it is also a big highlight for Mitchell to lead the team. After the strength of the Eastern team's lineup has changed drastically, they also have the opportunity to launch an attack on the championship.

1: Edwards

The player ranked first is naturally Edwards. He is also the best point guard in the past two seasons as the team's core team. He has reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons. What's more valuable is that he is only 23 years old and still has a lot of room for improvement. Last season, he practiced a three-pointer with no solution to the breakthrough and became the top three-pointer of the season. At his age, he was at the time when his game skills were constantly enriched, so he was far from reaching his upper limit.

, but Edwards still has several problems on the court that are difficult to solve, that is, his ability to handle the ball when facing double-teams and how to maintain a mentality when falling behind. As long as he can handle these issues well, his performance on the court will be better. After all, this is a necessary trait for superstars. If he wants to become a real top point guard in the league, he must do these things.
