Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Crowned as NBA's Top Point Guard for 2025-26 Season

As of August 6th, 2025, the NBA's top point guard rankings for the upcoming 2025-26 season have been released, and Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has claimed the top spot. Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off an incredible season that saw him win the MVP award, the NBA championship, and numerous other individual honors.

The rankings also revealed an interesting development, with the Detroit Pistons' Cade Cunningham jumping ahead of the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry. Cunningham, at just 23 years old, has led the Pistons to new heights not seen since the late 2010s, outperforming Curry in several key statistical categories.

While Cunningham's rise is noteworthy, Gilgeous-Alexander remains the clear leader among point guards. The Thunder star has cemented his status as one of the league's elite, securing his first NBA title, Finals MVP, and regular season MVP awards in the span of a few months. With the Thunder's young core continuing to develop and no major roster changes, the organization is poised for sustained success in the coming season.

Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder will undoubtedly have a target on their backs, but the team is embracing the challenge. Whether they can repeat as champions or if Gilgeous-Alexander can secure a second consecutive MVP remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the Oklahoma City Thunder are the team to beat in the 2025-26 NBA season.
