2025 Fantasy Basketball Shooting Guard Rankings

Chris Ransom follow @DraftUtopia Last Updated: September 12, 2025.

Anthony Edwards, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards had 27.6 points per game, 5.7 rebounds per game, and 4.5 assists per game last season. He took Minnesota to a second consecutive Western Conference Finals after Minnesota traded away Karl Anthony-Towns. That only validates he's the best shooting guard in the NBA as well as the only first round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball.
Donovan Mitchell, SG, Cleveland Cavaliers

Donovan Mitchell had 24 points per game, 5 assists per game, and 4.5 rebounds per game. Donovan Mitchell is the only second round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball.
Desmond Bane, SG, Orlando Magic

Desmond Bane blossomed last year with Memphis. There is a good reason Orlando traded a 2025 first round pick to Memphis to get Desmond Bane who is my only third round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball.
Dyson Daniels, SG, Atlanta Hawks

Dyson Daniels compliments Trae Young well as a shooting guard. Dyson Daniels is nicknamed the Great Barrier known for his defense. Dyson Daniels is one of two fourth round shooting guards in Fantasy Basketball.
Austin Reaves, SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Austin Reaves averaged 20.2 poitns per game, 5.8 assists per game, and 4.5 rebounds per game. He's considered a top 5 shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball this season.
Jalen Green, SG, Phoenix Suns

Jalen Green had a career high 21 points per game with the Houston Rockets. Jalen Green will compliment Devin Booker on the Phoenix Suns front court. Jalen Green is my only fifth round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball.
CJ McCollum, SG, Washington Wizards

CJ McCollum had 21.1 points per game, 4.1 assists per game, and 3.8 rebounds per game with the New Orleans Pelicans. Something tells me he will be the leading scorer on the Washington Wizards this season. CJ McCollum is my only sixth round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball this season.
Anfernee Simons, SG, Boston Celtics

Anfernee Simons will be the starting shooting guard on the Boston Celtics this season. He should have a big role with the Boston Celtics this season and is my only seventh round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball this season.
Bradley Beal, SG, Los Angeles Clippers

Bradley Beal struggled in Phoenix. He might have a resurgence with the Los Angeles Clippers this season. Bradley Beal is my only eighth round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball this season.
Malik Monk, SG, Sacramento Kings

Malik Monk could be a top 10 shootig guard this season. Malik Monk is my only ninth round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball.
Jaden Ivey, SG, Detroit Pistons

Detroit's guard tandem of Cade Cunningham at point guard and Jaden Ivey at shooting guard unlocked its full potential last year. That should continue as there are three tenth round shooting guards in Fantasy Basketball this year with Jaden Ivey being the best value among that trio with 17.6 points per game, 4.1 rebounds per game, and 4 assists per game last year.
Coby White, SG, Chicago Bulls

Coby White averaged 20.4 points per game last season. He could go as early as the sixth round, but I have him listed as one of my three tenth round prospects in my shooting guard rankings for Fantasy Basketball.
Shaedon Sharpe, SG, Portland Trail Blazers

Shaedon Sharpe should compliment Scoot Henderson on Portland's front court this year with Scoot Henderson entering year two at point guard and Shaedon Sharpe playing shooting guard which is his natural position. Shaedon Sharpe played the 3 last year, but moves back to his natural position at the 2. Shaedon Sharpe is my final tenth round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball.
Brandin Podziemski, SG, Golden State Warriors

Brandin Podziemski did well taking over for Klay Thompson at shooting guard as the Golden State Warriors 2023 first round pick last season. Brandin Podziemski is my only eleventh round pick in Fantasy Basketball this season.
Collin Sexton, SG, Charlotte Hornets

Collin Sexton is more of a shooting guard than a point guard as he played shooting guard at Alabama. Collin Sexton goes to a team where he can play his natural position. Collin Sexton is my only twelfth round pick in Fantasy Basketball this season.
Stephon Castle, SG, San Antonio Spurs

Stephon Castle the combo guard on Connecticut's mens basketball team that won a national title did well as a rookie as the San Antonio Spurs 2024 first round pick posting 14.7 points per game, 4.1 assists per game, and 3.7 rebounds per game. He will be better in year two and is one of two thirteenth round picks at shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball this season.
Bennedict Mathurin, SG, Indiana Pacers

Bennedict Mathurin was the Indiana Pacers sixth man averaging 16.1 points per ame, 5.3 rebounds per game, and 1.9 assists per game. With Tyrese Haliburton out for the season, Andrew Nembhard moves over from shooting guard to point guard, and Bennedict Mathurin gets a full season as a starter, meaning Bennedict Mathurin could have a career season with the Indiana Pacers. Bennedict Mathurin is my second of two thirteenth round picks in Fantasy Basketball.
Klay Thompson, SG, Dallas Mavericks

Klay Thompson is listed in the 160 range on most preseason draft rankings. That's way too low in my opinion as Klay Thompson is my only fourteenth round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball.
Reed Sheppard, SG, Houston Rockets

Houston's backup shooting guard to Jalen Green, Reed Sheppard, the third pick in the 2024 NBA Draft takes over at shooting guard. Reed Sheppard is my only fifteenth round shooting guard in Fantasy Basketball.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SG, Memphis Grizzlies

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope got traded from Orlando to Memphis in the Desmond Bane trade. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is my only sixteenth round shooting guard as well as a player to target in the final round of standard Fantasy Basketball drafts.
