The NBA now has a severe lacking of quality shooting guards

[Derivative]

are there any upcomming potential SG drafts? (not those undersized 2 guards, but a legitimate 6'6 SG)

[Flash31]

Harden is not a joke SG's are supposed to score points and thats what he does you ****ing retards. ISH is dumb af sometimes . Name me one SG in the history of NBA history that shoots a high % every night and gets to the line 10+ times every night and your giving me michael ****ing jordan. SG's have off nights and if Harden can give you 30/5/5 on 50% only 40 games a year ill take him every year

Here

27,5,5
22,4,5
26,4,2

Kobe,Wade,Harden

Wade was most efficient at 52%
Kobe had most points per game
Defense-Wade
Playmaling-Wade

WTF does Harden do beside get 20fta a game
better than Kobe,Wade


Harden has NEVER come close to 30,5,5 on 50% in a season for even Close to 40 games total much less in a season


And seriously SG Shoot yeah no sht but they also play defense,and are
way way more efficient than Harden

Harden shot more than Wade,had more fta and yet only avg 4 more pts as 1st


Jordan
R Allen
R miller
Drexler
Wade
Kobe
Carter
West
Harden

Which one of these seems extremely off for a so called star?

Harden is the most inefficent "superstar" sg ever
and he is by far ThE worst defender EVER

he doesnt even TRY to play d
and his offensive game is mediocre at best
Shoot3s,get to rim,try to get a call

Thats LiTERALLY all HE Does

Harden is a clear definition of manufactured superstar

What Star with 10 fta +++ Shoots under 43% and can only get 26 ppg
with 4 ast all while being clear cut 1st option

NONE unless you count Harden as a star

Harden would be considered just a solid player at BEST if he played
in 2010-before as he does now

[Legends66NBA7]

^I'd say Bryant was better than Wade last year in playmaking.

[LoneyROY7]

His stats may not look great at the moment, but give him some time. He's on the way back.

Id take a hobbled Wade,a way past his prime V Carter,an injured chucking Kobe,
39 yr old R Allen
all before Harden


Harden plays worse defense than somebodies grandmother

harden is a joke of a so called "Superstar".

If you needed 20 pts theres 10 other guards way more efficient,if you needed playmaking theres 20 other sg,defense Anybody besides Harden


And no Harden doesnt get all legit calls to the line
A gust of wind blows or you breath near him his beard flies up and somehow he gets whiplashed Every time


Harden is called a superstar by the media trying to Create him as such
Wade,Kobe arent gonna play forever and theres nobody close to them

Its like how the media proclaimed D Rose Best Player or Top 5
when facts and everything else say otherwise


Harden is a JOKE,Its a major disgrace to even compare him to superstars much less call him one

Granger avg 25 ppg and nobody called him a superstar,
Ellis,K Martin avg 20+

I see the hype and media machine is really working in full effect

^I'd say Bryant was better than Wade last year in playmaking.

Majority of season Wade
Part of Season-Kobe

Lets not forget Kobe doing Rondo assists,completely giving up scoring,and
having a crapload of tos in trying to be better than Steve Nash at playmaking and assists

Kobe was better for part of the season though

as others have posted - plenty of potential at the SG position to be really solid in the future. In no particular order - Oladipo, Harden, Fournier, TRoss, McLemore, Beal, Klay, Jennings, Waiters, EGordon, Lamb, etc are all U24.

The bigman void has now been filled with Kevin Love and Anthony Davis. What the NBA desperately needs now are superstar level shooting guards, players who's main purpose is to score and to score alot. I really want to see more dynamic scorers like T-Mac, Iverson, Wade, and Kobe.

We have the greatest generation of PG in history (CP3, Curry, Westbrook, Irving, Rose, Wall, Rondo, Lilliard, MCW)

We have the greatest generation of SF in history (Lebron, Durant, Paul George)

We have an upcoming batch of great PFs (Love, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin)

Center position is still pretty much dead, but it can be replaced by the similar power forwards.

SGs are on the decline, Kobe is old and injured, Wade is old and dumb, Harden is a joke of a star. There isn't a player who can light up on points now. And there doesn't look to be a star SG draft in the future.


Really make me cherish Kobe as a player, even though he's just a poorman's copy of MJ. At least he tries. Now all the star players try to be like Lebron and focus on all-round game and good percentages. We never get to see 50 - 60 point games anymore.

IMO the 80s had still had the best SF generation. They were too stacked in that position. Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkins, Dr. J, Alex English, Adrian Dantley, Bernard King, and James Worthy. There are others as well.

Anyway, the SG position isn't bad as the center position. You may not like Harden, but he's still a very good scorer. Wade brought back his mid range J it seems, so that's great. But the SG isn't like it was in the early 00s. And Monta Ellis is ok.
