3 best point guard performances this season

The NBA 2018-19 season is well underway. Some of the teams have given surprisingly pleasant performances while some have failed to impress.

The Western Conference seems too loaded and too deep with as many as 14 teams having potential chances of making the playoffs. The Eastern Conference is top heavy and all of Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics have a chance of emerging out as Eastern Conference champions.

This is a league now loaded with point guards. There are so many All-Star point guards currently leading their teams in their quest. Most of the teams have their point guards as the alpha of the team.

There have already been some amazing performances in this short span of NBA action. Most of these performances have been from the Point Guard position. Let's have a look at the top 3 performances from the Point Guard position this season:

#3 Derrick Rose bringing back memories of old:

Derrick Rose has been in sensational form this season

Derrick Rose went off for 50 points, his career high, in a highly intriguing encounter with the Utah Jazz which the Minnesota Timberwolves won 128-125. Derrick Rose shot 19-31 from the field and also hit 4 out of 7 shots from the deep.

Rose is averaging 19.1 PPG for the season on 49.1% shooting from the field and a career high 46.4% shooting from the deep. His improvement from the 3PT line is especially noteworthy considering he was never a good shooter from the deep.

Rose torched the Jazz throughout in this match and made full use of being in the starting line up because of Teague's injury. This has been a redemption season for Rose who has suffered a series of setbacks over the course of his career.

#2 Kemba Walker joining the 60 point club:

Kemba Walker haunted the 76ers throughout and almost cost them the match

Kemba Walker had the highest scoring individual performance of the season with 60 points in a loss against the Philadelphia 76ers. He joined the elite 60 point club, the only current players who have scored 60 or more points in a match are Devin Booker, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Klay Thompson.

Kemba Walker was single-handedly responsible for making this a close match which the Hornets lost on a last second three from Jimmy Butler. Walker shot 21-34 for the match and also finished with four steals.

Walker has been having a career season. He is averaging 27.9 PPG and is currently in the top 5 in scoring. He is in the last year of his contract and there will be plenty of teams vying for his signing in the Free Agency next summer.

#1 Steph Curry splashing against the Wizards:

Steph Curry made shots from everywhere against the Washington Wizards

Steph Curry was absolutely on top of his game against the Wizards at the Oracle Arena in which the Warriors had a blowout win 144-122. Steph torched the Wizards for 51 points on 15-24 shooting from the field, 11-16 from the deep and 10-10 from the free throw line. He didn't even need to play the fourth quarter.

Steph took plenty of shots from even beyond 30 ft and made them look like great shots. Steph was having an unbelievable season before his injury. He is currently having an average of 29.5 PPG on 51.5% shooting from the field, an amazing 49.2% shooting from beyond the arc and 92.3% from the free throw line.

If Steph continues his merry run post his injury, he will again get back into MVP contention and the Warriors look poised to win their third consecutive ring.
