2021 All-NBA Playoffs Team: Looking at the best postseason player for each position ahead of the NBA Finals

#3 - Small Forward - Paul George (LA Clippers)

Phoenix Suns v Los Angeles Clippers - Game Six

LA Clippers swingman Paul George edges out Brooklyn Nets ace Kevin Durant for the small forward spot. Durant had a brilliant playoff run, but George's record of scoring 20+ plus points in all the postseason games he featured in makes him undroppable.

George averaged 27 points, nine rebounds and five assists during the course of the 2021 NBA playoffs. He averaged a team-high 40.8 minutes and didn't neglect his defensive duties despite staying on the floor for such long durations.

The most impressive part of George's playoff run was that he helped the Clippers win the last two games of the series against the Utah Jazz in Kawhi Leonard's absence and also managed to take two games off the Phoenix Suns.

#2 - Shooting Guard - Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns)

Phoenix Suns v Los Angeles Clippers - Game Six

Touted to be the 'next big thing' in the NBA, Devin Booker had a torrid time with the Phoenix Suns in the first five years of his young career. However, the Kobe Bryant disciple remained loyal to the franchise, and now the young shooting guard is in the NBA finals.

Booker has had a major hand in the Phoenix Suns reaching the NBA finals for the first time since 1993. He has put up 27 points, six rebounds, and four assists in his first postseason campaign, mesmerizing audiences with his offensive skillset.

#1 - Point Guard - Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks)

Milwaukee Bucks v Atlanta Hawks - Game Six

Perhaps the most entertaining player of the 2021 NBA playoffs, Trae Young bags the point guard spot in the All-NBA playoffs team.

Young had a phenomenal playoff campaign as he terrorized hostile NBA crowds with a blend of swagger and skill. He averaged an impressive 28.8 points and nine assists on 41% shooting from the field in the postseason.

Led by Young, the Hawks had a brilliant run in the 2021 NBA playoffs, as they beat the New York Knicks and the No. 1 seed Philadelphia 76ers, before eventually losing to the Bucks in the Eastern Conference finals.

The Atlanta Hawks are still a young team that will improve with time, and if this year's playoffs are anything to go by, Young is going straight to the top.
