NBA Point Guard Rankings: Where do the Miami Heat land?
By Jack Simone
Kyle Lowry was widely regarded as the best attainable free agent this offseason. The Miami Heat managed to sign him, beating out many other teams who were interested.
The veteran point guard missed the All-Star game last season but had made it for the previous six years. At this point, he might be severely underrated around the league.
His leadership, shooting, and defensive mindset all make him an elite option at the one. How does he compare to other point guards around the NBA, though?
Where does Kyle Lowry rank among the NBA’s starting point guards? Who is the worst starter in the NBA? Who is the best?
Ranking NBA starting point guards to see where the Miami Heat land
30. Killian Hayes, Detroit Pistons
An injury derailed most of Killian Hayes’ rookie season. He came into the year with a lot of expectations, and while he showed flashes of his potential, it was a super rocky first year for Hayes.
29. Monte Morris, Denver Nuggets
With Jamal Murray out, one of Monte Morris or Facundo Campazzo is going to take over the starting spot. Regardless of who it is, they would probably rank right around here on this list.
28. Cole Anthony, Orlando Magic
There’s an argument that Jalen Suggs will be the point guard, but he could easily start at the two next to Cole Anthony. The sophomore-year guard is prepped for another solid season in Orlando.
27. Reggie Jackson, Los Angeles Clippers
Even if Eric Bledsoe does start, he would probably rank lower on this list than Reggie Jackson. After an amazing playoff run, Jackson earned the starting job in Los Angeles.
