3 Shooting Guards

      In the NBA there are plenty of great shooting guards. One is Klay Thompson, which  is the son of Michael Thompson. Klay is in outstanding three point shooter, he recently won the Foot Locker 3 Point Shootout.  he also attended the 2015–16 All-Star game and play for the West team.  another great shooting guard is  Dwyane Wade. He currently is on the Miami Heat, and has always played on the Heat. He  had played with many legends, like Shaquille O Neil, LeBron James, And Chris Bosh. Dwayne Wade has won three championship rings, two were with LeBron, one was with Shaq.
    Gordon Hayward is another outstanding player, he currently plays with the Utah Jazz. He is leading their team and is the captain, and leader. In my opinion Gordon is in very underrated player,  he passes very well he makes a lot of 3 pointers he's a great scorer.  The reason why I really like him is because he's different from most small players, he can do more than just scoring, and not many players can do that.  these are three great shooting guards, out of these three shooting guards I think that Dwyane Wade is the best because, he's had the most experience and has been in the league the longest.

James Harden
