How do you think the top 15 PGs for the second half of the 20's compared with the ones from the 00's and 10's? How would you rank them for your personal projections in the second half of the decade? (alien.top)

At a guess they will be in some order (accounting for PG/SG difference semantics):

Luka, SGA, Fox, Trae, Hali, Jamal, Book, Maxey, Ja, Mitchel, Lamelo, Brunson, Garland, Scoot, and Cade.

Of course some players will show up and take one of those spots,

I remember the discussion being how many truly elite PG we had in the league at the same time due to how guard heavy the league had become, but are we about to see the best top 15 PGs in league history with the upcoming crop or would that be a stretch?

Curious to hear you guys' toughts. Who are you higher/lower on?

Haliburton #1 and then the rest..... How many of these other guards are pass first point guards? Most of them jack up their own shots and average 4 assists a game.

No Ant huh. Intersting take.

Hard to evaluate Jamal and Maxey, both play next to MVPs and greatly benefit from it but they are good regardless.

Game ain’t the same youngblood, can’t compare across eras

Not sure how you would even compare the eras tbh.

By 00s PG standard, only CP3, Tyrese, Garland and MAYBE Luka and Trae would even be regarded PGs. Even though I consider Luka a Point Forward.

Most modern guards play like SG with the goal to score, not set up their teammates.

What makes it even harder is that numbers have been inflated for almost a decade now. So a guard that averages 8 assists nowadays would probably be around 5 in the early 00s. I am ignoring individual factors like usage rate, play style and such, but you get my point.
