Where HoopsHype ranked Luka Doncic among the NBA's best point guards
Many people have considered Luka Doncic one of the three to five best players in the NBA over the last few years. It's no wonder why, as he has career averages of 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists a game and possesses the third-highest regular-season scoring average and second-best playoff scoring average in league history. Now that he has transformed his body this summer, his best basketball could be ahead of him, and that is a scary proposition for every NBA team not named the Los Angeles Lakers. But in HoopsHype's latest ranking of the league's top point guards, Doncic came in second behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder. "Following the disrespect of shockingly being traded by Dallas, the franchise that Doncic expected to spend his entire career with, it seems the Slovenian superstar has taken that to heart and used it to motivate him this offseason," wrote Frank Urbina. "Considering that Doncic historically hasn't always been the best about taking his summers seriously as far as his fitness level, that could be a great sign for the Los Angeles Lakers - and a scary one for the team's opponents in 2025-26. "An elite scorer, playmaker and rebounder for his position, Doncic is just lacking on the defensive side of the ball, but perhaps with his improved fitness level heading into the campaign, that might change, too. Regardless, Doncic remains on the path of first-ballot Hall-of-Famer, and we expect him to get right back to 1st Team All-NBA-level play in 2025-26, which should put the Lakers in championship contender status." In a way, it does make sense that Gilgeous-Alexander earned the top spot in HoopsHype's ranking. He just finished a campaign in which he led the NBA in scoring and earned the regular-season and finals MVP awards, not to mention his first championship. But he isn't the passer or rebounder that Doncic is, and he may not be quite as deadly as Doncic is in crunch time. Urbina did mention that HoopsHype could regret ranking the Lakers superstar at No. 2 by next summer, especially given that he is much leaner and fitter now.

Wings star Paige Bueckers set for lone Brooklyn stop against Liberty
For the first and only time this season, the Paige Bueckers spotlight will shift to Brooklyn. The Liberty will host the Wings star rookie, who made the All-Star game and has averaged 18.5 points per game this season after being the top pick in April, on Tuesday night in a rematch from last week — when a woeful Dallas team, stumbling through plenty of growing pains with a new-look roster and first-year coach, shocked the Liberty at College Park Center. Advertisement Bueckers collected 20 points, six rebounds and four assists during the win, and now the shorthanded Liberty will be tasked with trying to contain her again in front of a crowd likely featuring plenty of No. 5 jerseys. Bueckers was named the WNBA's Rookie of the Month for July — the second consecutive month she earned the honor — on Monday after averaging 18.2 points, 5.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game, and during their game Wednesday against the Dream, she tied Cynthia Cooper as the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 400 points and 100 assists by doing so in just her 22nd game. It has provided a fitting encore to 2024, when Caitlin Clark entered the league as the No. 1 pick, rewrote record after record and turned games — both at home and on the road — into glimpses of the reach of her stardom. Advertisement Wings guard Paige Bueckers (5) is fouled by New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu. Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Bueckers' campaign won't feature a taste of the postseason, with the Wings at 8-21 and well outside of the playoff picture, but their win against the Liberty served as the signature victory of her era in Dallas so far. It was unexpected, even with the Liberty down Breanna Stewart, Kennedy Burke and Nyara Sabally. Advertisement It was surprising, given the separation between the teams in the standings. And now, Bueckers will get a chance to replicate that. Sabrina Ionescu has led the league in scoring (25.6 points per game) since the All-Star break, and on Monday was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for July — the fifth time in her career she took one of the league's monthly awards and the first time during the 2025 campaign. Advertisement Across the Liberty's 10 games, Ionescu averaged 21.4 points, 6.6 assists and 5.5 rebounds, and it marked her best calendar month of scoring since last July (23.2). Her campaign to repeat in August got off to a scorching start, too, when she poured in 36 points — on a career-best 14 made field goals — Sunday. She also collected 23 points Friday when the Liberty lost to Connecticut. And with Stewart set to miss the next chunk of the season due to a bone bruise in her right knee, the Liberty will need Ionescu to keep carrying the offense and helping replace the lost production of their other superstar.
