    Re: Point Guards who are great cutters

    I’m guessing you meant to post this in the main forum instead of the roster section, but here’s my list anyways

    Deron Williams
    Steve Nash
    Jamal Crawford (More of a combo guard)
    Rajon Rondo
    Tony Parker
    Isiah Thomas
    Chris Paul
    Stephon Marbury
    Gary Payton
    Tim Hardaway

        Basket Cut Synergy > 5%

        STARTERS
        15% Ben Simmons (PHI): 1.30 PPP
        6% Elfrid Payton (NOP): 1.03 PPP
        5% Jamal Murray (DEN): 1.38 PPP
        5% Lonzo Ball (LAL): 1.27 PPP

        BACKUPS
        8% Tim Frazier (NOP): 1.38 PPP
        7% George Hill (MIL): 1.55 PPP
        7% T.J. McConnell (PHI): 1.41 PPP
        7% Alex Caruso (LAL): 1.31 PPP
        7% Monte Morris (DEN): 1.29 PPP
        7% Evan Turner (POR): 1.27 PPP
        7% Chasson Randle (WAS): 1.05 PPP
        6% Tomas Satoransky (WAS): 1.38 PPP
        5% Markelle Fultz (PHI): 1.30 PPP

        Given repeat teams this has more to do with team scheme than the individual.

        Murray and Morris stand out because they aren't garbage-tier shooters (unlike a lot of players on the list). These possessions are all created by Jokic's elite passing.

          That's exactly what I thought.

            Kind of surprised no one's mentioned Shaun Livingston yet. Cutting to the basket is pretty much what he does on offense, apart from an occasional post-up.

              I don't classify him as a PG anymore (he's been Klay's backup this year), but certainly in previous seasons he'd qualify. He's spent a good chunk of his cutting career at SG though (which makes sense since it's an off-ball action)

              6% Iso: 0.75 PPP

              OFF-BALL (30% of Offense)
              26% Cut: 1.26 PPP
              4% SpotUp: 1.18 PPP

                I kind of agree with Rashid on this one. Never thought of him as a Cutter. Only because most sag off him. When I think of a Cutter. It's because the defense is trying to deny or close out so hard on them. They get backdoor.

                        Mike Bibby (Kings,Hawks)
                        Deron Williams (Jazz, Nets)
                        Jason Kidd (Mavs, Suns, Nets)
                        Steve Nash (Mavs, Suns)
                        Chris Paul (Hornets, Clippers, Rockets)
                        Stephon Marbury (Twolves, Suns, Nets, Knicks)
                        Tim Hardaway (Warriors, Heat)



                        Oh BTW, its cool to hear other positions like SG and SF cutters... James, Wade, Otto Porter, Michael Jordan, Avery Bradley... some that I can think of.

                          Shaun Livingston is old.cut
                          <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j8NBmo-DQl0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

                          He's gotten a lot of looks like this over the last 5 years. His dunk totals always lead guards because of plays like this. His height essentially makes him a big man.

                          This was last year.
