Detroit Pistons: Ranking the Eastern Conference point guards
Detroit Pistons: Ranking the Eastern Conference point guards #12-9
#12 Lonzo Ball- Chicago Bulls
This one is based on potential more than anything, as Lonzo Ball has not been nearly as good as his hype train and cult of fans would have you believe.
He was not really a point guard on the Pelicans, as he mostly stood around the 3-point line and never penetrated or did much in the half court, but he expects to have a different role with the Bulls.
Will he finally develop into the point guard he’s been hyped as? We shall see.

#11 Kemba Walker- New York Knicks
Kemba Walker is still a 20 ppg scorer who can fill it up from the 3-point line, but he has definitely lost a step over the last few years and has had trouble staying on the court since he left Charlotte.
The Knicks are hoping they finally found the point guard they have been looking for, but in true Knicks’ fashion, it is probably a couple of years too late.
#10 Malcolm Brogdon- Indiana Pacers
Brogdon isn’t really a point guard in the traditional sense, but he is very good two-way player who sets the table for the Indiana Pacers.
I thought the Pacers might trade Brogdon this offseason but they decided to run it back. Brogdon is one of the more underrated players in the NBA, as he does a little bit of everything to fill a stat sheet.
#9 Jalen Suggs- Orlando Magic
This one is going on potential, as Suggs has yet to play a game in the NBA, so I can understand if you disagree with this assessment.
Suggs has all of the tools to be a successful point guard in the NBA, as he is a plus athlete with size who can score, pass and defend.
He is a high-I.Q. player who I think is the dark horse to win Rookie of the Year if Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons doesn’t win it.
