It is a great time to be an NBA fan with the talent level in the league probably being at an all-time high. The old guard is still going strong as the likes of Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James are all playing at a high level while the up-and-comers have made their mark as well.

We have seen a lot of talented players come into the league in recent years in the guard positions, in particular. It is said that the NBA is a guard’s league now and with all the potential star power at those two positions, it is hard to see that changing in the coming years. NBA Central on Twitter recently asked fans to pick the best three players from 9 young guards and two names did tend to stand out.

“Haliburton, Bane, Garland”

“Anthony Edwards Lamelo Ball Darius Garland. This is actually a good list. Poole doesn’t belong here tho”

“This is so easy. Simons Ant and Desmond bane. All should be all star or all star caliber players”

“Haliburton, LaMelo, Garland”

“Lamelo Ball, Jordan Poole, Anthony Edwards “

“Haliburton, Ant and Garland are clearly the three best”

“Haliburton edwards and LaMelo in no particular order.”

“Bane, Ant Edwards and Herro only right answer”

“garland haliburton edwards”

“anfernee garland edwards”

“Ant,Melo, Poole & Maxey neck & neck”

“Bane Hali and Garland only answer; HM: Herro”

“Simons, Garland, Haliburton. Bane, Melo, and Anthony Edwards are tier 2”

“Garland, Haliburton, Bane”

“simons ant and garland”

“Ant, Haliburton, and DG with bane a close 4th”

“Garland, Haliburton, and Herro”

“Melo Max Ant”

“haliburton, simons, garland”

“Garland and Haliburton are so clearly two but third is close between Edwards, Herro, Maxey, Bane, and Anfernee. I think I lean Bane as of rn though”

Darius Garland and Tyrese Haliburton were two names that popped up quite often here. Garland was, of course, an All-Star last season while Haliburton seems likely to make it this season, as he currently leads the league in assists per game at over 10 a game. Someone who almost didn’t make it in at all for fans is Jordan Poole, something which would have seemed quite unlikely just a few months back.


Jordan Poole Has Struggled This Season

After signing that big extension with the Golden State Warriors prior to the season, Poole has struggled to make an impact. Head coach Steve Kerr was quite critical of his defense and Poole explained some of his offensive struggles by saying that teams are now guarding him like they guard Curry.

With Curry now expected to miss several weeks with a shoulder injury, they’ll be focusing on Poole even more and it is up to him to step up to the plate and deliver. He played well in Curry’s absence last season and the Warriors will need that kind of play from him once again if they are to stay afloat without their superstar.

His passion for the sport was ignited after witnessing the high-octane offense of the Steve Nash-led Phoenix Suns. Among the Suns, Shawn Marion stood out to Gautam as an all-time underrated NBA player. Marion’s versatility as a defender and his rebounding prowess, despite being just 6’7”, impressed Gautam immensely. He admired Marion’s finishing ability at the rim and his shooting, despite an unconventional jump shot, believing that Marion’s skill set would have been even more appreciated in today’s NBA.This transformative experience not only deepened his love for basketball but also shaped his approach to sports writing, enabling him to connect with readers through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis.
