Ranking the Top 10 Point Guards in the NBA

9. Damian Lillard — Portland Trail Blazers

The point guard position is overflowing with talent. Narrowing a list down to 10 means a bundle of gifted players had to miss the cut. Damian Lillard has been among the elite group of point guards for a decade, but with a repeat performance of last season, the Oakland native could find himself on the outside looking in. Lillard’s numbers predictably dropped in his first year with the Bucks. Nobody expected him to score as many points as he did when he was carrying the Portland Trail Blazers. However, his efficiency dipped also and he’s only becoming less impactful defensively. Lillard remains one of the league’s most lethal deep-range scorers but needs a bounce-back season in Year 2 with the Bucks.
