NBA ranks top shooting guards for 2026-27 season

As the NBA approaches the 2026-27 season, several shooting guards are under scrutiny based on last season's performance and upcoming roles. Tyler Herro, traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, aims to prove his health and offensive value following a season where he averaged 20.5 points in just 33 games. Rookie Kon Knueppel of the Charlotte Hornets led the league in three-pointers last season but faces health concerns after a hamstring injury. Derrick White of the Boston Celtics, who made the 2026 All-Defensive First Team, looks to expand his offensive contributions following a trade involving Jaylen Brown. The season begins on October 20 with the New York Knicks hosting the Philadelphia 76ers for their ring ceremony.
