Who Is the Best SG in the NBA?

We take a look at the top 10 shooting guards in the NBA and try to determine who is the best of the bunch.

Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook is one of the best shooting guards in the NBA. He is a great scorer and can also play good defense. He is also a very good rebounder for his position.

2017-2018 Season

In the 2017-2018 season, Westbrook had one of the most impressive statistical seasons in NBA history. He averaged a triple double for the entire season, something that had only been done once before in the NBA’s 71-year history. He was also named the league’s MVP for his efforts.

While many experts consider LeBron James to be the best player in the NBA, there is a strong argument to be made that Westbrook is the best shooting guard in the league. His combination of size, strength, athleticism, and shooting ability make him a tough matchup for any opposing player.

Westbrook is also an excellent defender, thanks in part to his 6’3″ frame and long arms. He has been known to shut down some of the league’s best scorers on occasion.

There is no doubt that Westbrook is one of the most talented and exciting players in the NBA today. If he can continue to put up similar numbers to what he did in 2017-2018, then he has a very good chance of being considered one of the greatest players of all time.
