Avery Bradley through 20 games this season:

17.7 points
2.7 assists
7.9 rebounds
1.1 steals

46.9% FG (15.4 attempts)
40.6% 3P (5.3 attempts)
74.2% FT (1.6 attempts)


That's a pretty wild stateline for a guy who comes in at 6'2'' and <200 lbs.  AB is much better than I ever thought he'd be.  I am quite impressed.


Where does he rank among shooting guards league wide?

From what I can tell, Harden, Klay, and Derozan are clearly ahead of him.

Apart from those three, you have Beal, Wade, and McCollum right there with AB.  Redick, Lou-Will, Lavine, and Oladipo are in the mix as well.


What do you think?

6ish I'd say. Harden, klay, derozen, beal, and CJ are ahead of him. If I were to pick out of those players to be on the Celtics with their current contracts (and injury history) in mind, AB would be top 4.

I'm way too superstitious to discuss this. Never talk to a pitcher during a no hitter. Nothing good can happen

Yup.

That being said and because they are up against the Rockets tonight...Yeah Harden pretty much is hands down the no.1 undisputed SG in the league right now.

Not exactly.  Offensively, Harden is the point guard.  Defensively, Patrick Beverley is the point guard and Harden is the two.

I like going with the adage;  "you are what position you guard."

Wouldn't that make Marcus Smart a Point-Shooting-Small-Power-Center?

I think he's the 6th best SG in the league right now. In my opinion these guys are ahead of him:
1. Klay Thompson
2. DeRozan
3. McCollum
4. Wade
5. Beal

I excluded James Harden because he's playing at the point guard position this season.

Yet another example of why I don't put too much stock on RPM.

Is Antetokounmpo not considered a SG?

Same thing with Jimmy Butler, I know he's playing more SF this year, but overall I might still consider him a SG, I dunno.

Those two are both better than Bradley, but you could choose not to classify them as SG.

Since most stats are offensive side, I would take Harden out of this list of SGs.  However, it is true that your position is defined by who you guard.
