Okay, so I’ve been meaning to put together a list of the best shooting guards in 2023. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and I finally decided to just do it. Here’s how I went about it.
First, I started by just brainstorming. You know, I just jotted down all the names that came to mind when I thought “top shooting guards.” No judgment, just getting it all out on paper… well, on a notepad app, actually.
Then, I opened up a few basketball websites to get a feel for what other people were thinking. I checked out player rankings. I needed to see what I might be missing or if my initial thoughts lined up with the general consensus.
Digging into Stats
After getting a good overview, I dove into the stats.I love checking game number.I looked at points per game, of course, but also things like shooting percentages, assists, and even defensive stats. I tried to get a complete picture of each player’s contribution, and figured out which number is more important.
I had to create a simple standard for me, you know?
The Eye Test
Stats are important, but they don’t tell the whole story. So, I also spent some time watching game highlights. I wanted to see how these guys actually played, their style, their decision-making. How many time they got the ball, what did the do with it, you know,just real game play!
Making the List
Finally, I started putting my list together. It wasn’t easy! There are so many talented players out there. I went back and forth on a few guys, comparing their stats and my impressions from watching them play. I ended up with a list that I felt pretty good about, even though I’m sure there will be some debate. That’s part of the fun, right?
I had to rank some guys higher or lower, it’s a tough job!
So, that’s basically how I created my list of the best shooting guards of 2023. It was a fun process, combining data analysis with just watching some good old-fashioned basketball.
