The shooting guard position is a great opportunity to add a player who can pour in the points. It's not as deep as the point guard position, so you might want to jump on the top-tier stars earlier your draft. You can also opt for someone like James Harden, who is listed as a primary shooting guard but essentially plays point guard for the Nets. He can bolster your assist total from the SG position. Stars like Bradley Beal, Zach LaVine, and Devin Booker are more traditional scorers. There's also someone like Jrue Holiday, who will rack up steals. Put simply, our 2021 fantasy basketball SG rankings are among the most "versatile," from the studs to the sleepers.
