Bleacher Report's List of Top 10 NBA Point Guards of 2019-20 is Completely Insane

It's largely understood that list-making in the world of sports media is purely meant to inspire debate. In order to set your list apart from everyone else's, you might just throw a befuddling name or two out there and inflame the masses.

Which brings us to a recent ranking of the best point guard's in basketball this season.

Well, NBA fans won't have to look further than Bleacher Report's laughable ranking of the top 10 point guards for the 2019-20 season for their latest rage fix. See if you can wrap your head around this one.

Let's start by saying that we have no qualms with Nos. 1-3. Luka Doncic is averaging 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, and has the Dallas Mavericks sitting pretty with a 40-27 record. The Portland Trail Blazers would be a lottery team if not for Damian Lillard's heroic efforts, and Chris Paul is at the center of everything for the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have surprised a lot of analysts with a 40-24 record after it appeared last offseason that they were entering a rebuild.

The rest of the list, however, was an utter travesty.

Having Kyrie Irving and Kyle Lowry ahead of Russell Westbrook is a joke. The former's only played in 20 games, the latter is arguably the third-best player on his own team. Not only is Westbrook shooting fewer threes, but he carries the Houston Rockets when James Harden struggles with his shot and checks out mentally, which happens more than you might think.

Speaking of Harden, doesn't he handle the ball enough to be considred a point guard? His style of play is awfully similar to Doncic's, after all. And isn't LeBron James essentially the Lakers' point guard in crunch time, all things considered? There are questions abound with respect to not just the order of this ranking, but who is and isn't omitted.

And we don't quite understand the logic.

This list was most definitely created to ignite a fuse across NBA social media. While that goal was achieved, that doesn't mean we should assign much credibility to it. The ony solution? Getting actual basketball back at long last.
