The Golden Guards of Season 50 examined/rated halfway through (?) their careers

 THE GOLDEN GUARDS OF S-50

There has never been, before or since, a talent haul like that of the rookie guards class of Season 50. All six of the guards who entered the league that season were standouts, one way or the other. After three seasons, we can safely say there is not a bum in the lot. 

All six have been starters every season for their respective teams. At the very least, every one of them have made an All Star Game appearance. Not a one can be deemed a disappointment.

Three have made All-MBA, with the talent of this class making the achievement even tougher than usual.

As of this writing, all six have remained with the team they started their career with.

After three seasons in the MBA, it is time to go over their accomplishments thus far and to rank them in terms of what they have already accomplished and where they’re overall talent ranking would be among their Season 50 Guards Class.
