After back-to-back top-five MVP finishes, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has entered the upper echelon of players in the league. This should make his ranking among the top point guards not surprising.
As the offseason enters its dog days, HoopsHype decided to rank the top 30 players in each of the five positions. First up were point guards.
Gilgeous-Alexander was ranked as the No. 2 point guard heading into the 2024-25 season. Luka Doncic ranks ahead at the No. 1 spot.
“Doncic finished third in the MVP vote last season, as stated above. The player who finished second in that very same vote? That was Canadian superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who just had the best season of his career, putting up 30.1 points per game along with 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.0 steals per contest on absurdly efficient 53.5 percent shooting from the floor…
Gilgeous-Alexander finished second league-wide in WS/48 last season and with the way his game has progressed over recent seasons – and with how talented this current Thunder team is – he’s another player who could very well be in line for his first career MVP award in 2024-25.”
At 26 years old, expect Gilgeous-Alexander to be a mainstay in these conversations. He’s one of the best players in the league and headlines the Oklahoma City Thunder.
