53 points + 49 points + 44 points! No. 1 in the league! Sorry, Harden, he is the strongest point guard in the NBA

11:01am, 3 October 2025【Basketball】

In the era of small balls, the offensive pace is getting faster and faster, the score is getting higher and higher, the 60-point club has more and more members, and the 70-point club has more than just one table. According to statistics from the NBA official website, there are five 70-pointers in the active league, namely Booker (70 points), Embiid (70 points), Mitchell (71 points), Lillard (71 points) and Doncic (73 points). It is worth mentioning that neither Doncic nor Embiid are shooting guards, but they have both won the regular season scoring champions, while Booker and Mitchell, who play as point guards, have never won the regular season scoring champions. This can more or less indirectly reflect that the NBA is in an era of point guards withering! So, looking at the league today, who is the strongest point guard in the NBA? Let's take a placing together.

There are many talented points in NBA history, and the 10 scoring kings of basketball, Jordan, are shocking the past and present. The four major point guards Dong Aisi Conan, McNei North Carolina is also a legend. The last glory of our point guards is Harden during the Houston Rockets era! In the three seasons of 2017-2020, Harden won the regular season scoring champion for three consecutive years, especially in 2018-19, Harden averaged 36.1 points per game, becoming the highest scoring champion after Jordan (37.1 points) in the 1986-1987 season! However, since leaving the Rockets, Harden has no longer been obsessed with scoring, but has transformed into a point guard, and has never thought that the point guard will enter an era of no match for the past. Of course, among the new generation of guards, it is not that no one can take over the torch. It’s just that young is a double-edged sword. Some people choose to be comfortable, while others lack experience.

For example, Booker, as the No. 13th pick in 2015, Booker entered the NBA with the aura of Kobe's disciples, and grew into a top scorer in the league step by step. He averaged 25+ games in the past seven seasons and had a feat of 70 points in a single game, which is enough to show that he is a stable and reliable scorer. However, Booker's scoring method seems too single and traditional in the small ball era. The three-point production efficiency is average, two-point is too large, and one-point ability is a little mediocre, which invisibly determines his explosive scoring power. Last season, Booker averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game, ranking 33rd in the league; he averaged 6.4 free throws per game, ranking 8th in the league, which is obviously not enough to make him a flagship star among the points guards!

The strongest point guard in the contemporary NBA I want to talk about is Hua Zi of the Timberwolves! Huazi is the top scorer in 2020. She is young and energetic, but has a responsibility far beyond her peers. She quickly replaced Towns as the contemporary wolf king and led the Timberwolves to rise step by step in the West. Huazi himself also showed unparalleled scoring explosive power. Especially last season, Huazi stunned the world with his scoring show! Among them, on January 5, Huazi scored 53 points, setting a career high; on January 14, Huazi scored 41 points; from February 6 to 11, he fought against the Bulls, Rockets and Cavaliers, Huazi scored 49 points, 41 points and 44 points in a row; on March 3, Huazi scored 44 points; on March 17, Huazi scored 41 points; on April 11, he scored 44 points; on April 14, Huazi scored 43 points; on April 28, Huazi scored 43 points.

According to statistics from the NBA official website, Huazi scored 40+ 10 times last season, surpassing Love (6 times), and ranked first in the Timberwolves' 40+ times list in a single season. At the same time, Huazi made a total of 420 three-pointers last season, ranking first in the league. In another statistics, Huazi scored a total of 2,177 points last season and a total of 2,049 points in 23-24. He is the youngest shooting guard in NBA history to score 2,000+ in two consecutive seasons. This is Huazi. He is not only limited to crushing his opponent's scores by relying on his physical fitness, but also hard-working three-pointers to maintain high productivity and efficient output, greatly enriching his arsenal and making scoring simple!

Huazi has not won the scoring champion, and has not even joined the 60-point club, but this does not affect his progress towards the throne of the strongest point guard in the NBA today! Compared with Harden, Huazi is younger and more focused on scoring; compared with Booker, Huazi is richer in scoring methods and is more competitive! Huazi is only 24 years old and has not yet reached his peak, and the sky is the limit! So, Harden and Booker, I’m sorry, Huazi is the strongest point guard in the NBA today! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
