It has been nearly two months since my last dynasty shooting guard rankings. There have been quite a few changes in that time. As we near the end of the NBA season, more young talent will be seeing the floor down the stretch. As we look more toward next season, the younger players are starting to jump the long-time veterans. Let’s take a look at some of the risers and fallers since the last ranking.
Biggest Risers
Jaden Ivey, DET
Ivey has climbed from 41st to 23rd in these rankings. Since the calendar turned to March, Ivey has averaged 19.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steal per game. He has dropped three 30-point games since January 17th. Ivey has scored in double figures in 18 of his last 20 games. He’s become a fixture in the starting lineup and will get all the minutes he can handle to close out the season.
Keyonte George, UTA
Keyonte has jumped 20 spots since the last dynasty shooting guard ranking. George has become a mainstay in Utah’s starting lineup for the past several weeks. He’s been thriving over the last month, averaging 16.7 points, 5.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 3.3 three-pointers. If George can finish the season strong, he may deserve a top 15 ranking heading into next year.
Biggest Fallers
Josh Giddey, OKC
Giddey has slid from 20th, all the way back to 47th in this dynasty shooting guard ranking update. He had a lot of hype coming into this season. Last year, as a 20 year old, he averaged 16.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists. This season has been a big step back for him as all of those numbers have dropped significantly. Over the last month, he is averaging 10.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
Derrick White, BOS
White is a very solid all-around fantasy producer, but being the 4th or 5th option on the Celtics is really limiting his potential. In his last seven contests, he has scored 10 points or fewer in four of them. He has also failed to hit a three-pointer in four of those games. White hasn’t scored more than 15 points in a game since February 22nd. He turns 30 years old in the off-season and will be stuck in Boston for at least one more season.
Potential Dynasty Shooting Guard Breakouts
Bilal Coulibaly, WAS
Coulibaly hasn’t had the smoothest rookie season, although Washington has given him ample opportunities. In 27 minutes per game, he is averaging 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 1.0 three-pointers. However, it’s important to remember that he’s only 19 years old. He has the potential to become one of the best contributors in “stocks” in the near future.
Kobe Bufkin, ATL
Bufkin was selected 15th overall in the 2023 draft. He had a great opportunity presented to him when Trae Young underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his finger. However, a few games after Trae’s injury, Bufkin sustained a toe injury that could sideline him for the rest of the season. There’s not much of a chance for Bufkin to become a starter, barring an injury or trade to either Trae Young or Dejounte Murray, although he could serve as a weapon off the bench next season. In the G-League this year, he averaged 23.6 points, 5.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 2.6 three-pointers.
