Who are the best shooting guards in the NBA (and do we consider Jaylen Brown one of them)?

Though he did make All-NBA as a forward, Brown does play the 2 enough that it’s a worthwhile question.

Who are the best shooting guards in the NBA for the 2023-24 season? More importantly to the majority of you reading this: Are any of them on the Boston Celtics’ roster?

It depends whether you count All-NBA forward Jaylen Brown, given the Georgia native does play the position in a somewhat positionally flexible Celtics system. Even if you do, Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell, Anthony Edwards, Zach LaVine, Desmond Bane and CJ McCollum — to name only a few — are competing against Brown for such distinction at the shooting guard position.

The folks behind the “Hoops Reference” podcast see the former Cal standout a 2 guard for the purposes of just such a #RankingSeason exercise.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear where Brown landed amongst such wing luminaries.
