NBN PER: Top 10 SGs
PER Intro & Overall Top 10
Top 10 Cs
Top 10 PFs
Top 10 SFs
1. Devin Vassell – 25.0 PPG/ 6.4 RPG/ 3.0 APG/ 1.7 StPG, 21.36 PER
Devin Vassell was probably an underdog for the #1 SG but he had a hell of an inaugural season with the Spurs. He was the most prolific shooter at the position, leading all SGs in 3s made (198) and attempted (489), leading to a 25 PPG average. On top of the sharpshooting, Vassell was an all-around contributor. He was a top 5 rebounder at the position and just missed the top 10 in steals.
2. Devin Booker – 24.1 PPG/ 5.4 RPG/ 4.4 APG/ 1.7 StPG, 21.35 PER
Devin Booker comes in at #2 after his season landed him on the All-League 3rd Team. As the lone survivor of the Suns’ Big 3, Booker shouldered the offensive load for the Suns and led them to the #1 seed in the West. Booker was top 3 in assists, top 5 in scoring, and 2nd in 3 pointers made and did so shooting 48% from the field, 83% from the line, and 45% from deep.
3. Austin Reaves – 25.2 PPG/ 6.5 RPG/ 4.9 APG/ 1.5 StPG, 20.55 PER
The All-League 1st Team SG took the league by storm, proving himself among the best offensive weapons in the league. Reaves led all SGs in scoring and assists on good efficiency on a Lakers team short on options. He showed off a good all-around game as he also came in #2 in rebounds and top 10 in steals at the position. His turnovers let him down as he was #3 among SGs.
4. Cam Thomas – 22.6 PPG/ 5.2 RPG/ 2.5 APG/ 1.9 StPG, 19.81 PER
Cam Thomas had a nice season for the Nets and continues the youth movement at the top of the SG position. His scoring ability combined with his rookie-level contract and the relative weakness of the position makes Thomas one of the more valuable players in the league. His fouls were his downfall in the rankings as he led the position with 188.
5. Terry Rozier – 22.1 PPG/ 5.2 RPG/ 3.8 APG/ 1.6 StPG, 19.28 PER
Rozier surprised a lot of people with his All-Star Game selection and his eventual trade for two 1st round picks at the deadline. Rozier was a great offensive weapon for the Hornets and Thunder last season and did so on great efficiency. Rozier’s struggles came with his ball handling and around the FT line. He was top 10 in his position in TOs, 3rd in fouls, and among the lowest top-rated SGs in FT %.
6. Desmond Bane – 25.0 PPG/ 6.5 RPG/ 4.3 APG/ 1.9 StPG, 19.18 PER
Bane had himself a huge season, establishing himself as a star in Ja Morant’s absence, earning himself an All-League spot. His 25 PPG puts him in the top 3 at the position and he set himself apart on the defensive side, leading the position in steals and earning an All-Defense selection.
7. Anthony Edwards – 23.5 PPG/ 6.6 RPG/ 3.3 APG/ 1.6 StPG, 18.90 PER
Ant had a bit of a disappointing statistical season given the expectations placed on him coming into the season. His scoring came in lower than expected playing second fiddle to KAT, but he made up for it in other areas leading SGs in rebounding and earning himself an All-Defense 2nd Team. He contributed to the league's first championship, which I'm sure makes up for any shortcomings to pre-season expectations.
8. Malik Beasley – 14.4 PPG/ 3.3 RPG/ 2.7 APG/ 0.7 StPG, 18.24 PER
Malik Beasley had himself a really nice year as part of the deepest backcourt in the league in Brooklyn. He provided great volume scoring, averaging 14 PPG in just 22 minutes. His FG% was solid, but he was just ok from the 3 point line and was the worst FT shooter at the position.
9. Jalen Green – 22.6 PPG/ 5.9 RPG/ 2.8 APG/ 1.6 StPG, 17.84 PER
Green showed some potential as an offensive weapon, averaging 23 PPG but didn’t manage the kind of efficiency we see from the top tier scorers in the league. He’s a solid rebounder, #7 in the position, but a weak defender so he’ll need to take a leap in efficiency in his contract year to be considered among the top SGs in the league.
10. Zach LaVine – 21.2 PPG/ 5.5 RPG/ 3.2 APG/ 1.5 StPG, 17.79 PER
LaVine signed with the Jazz after the Bulls were snapped out of existence and formed a nice offensive one-two punch with Lauri Markannen. LaVine was a solid all-around player without any glaring weaknesses or specialties, as he landed in the lower part of the top ten across most offensive and defensive metrics.
Notable Misses: Bradley Beal (15th, 14.84), Klay Thompson (21st, 13.97)
Were there any surprises this round?
