For his size and lack of athleticism Andre Miller was able play at pretty high level borderline all star for a couple years even though he also was a below average shooter.

His post up game was really good one of the best I have seen for a guard

CP3's post game is so underrated. Always impressed how someone 4 feet tall can effectively post up in the NBA.

Mark Jackson was renowned for his ability to back down defenders. It got to the point where he was part of the reason they changed the rule, because he would just slowly back a guy down from the three-point line every time down court. It was horrendous to watch, but effective.

Wade and Kobe? And MJ? Obvioulsy Miller is one of the GOATs of post-ups for guards too.

Wall is good at it, but rarely is he allowed to do it. really great spin moves both way, and a great left hand.

Terry Porter used to abuse people in the post.

Livingston, Westbrook.

Lowry when he wants to. Derozan has some potential down there as well.

Well, that goes without asking, but I thought we were talking about POINT guards. My bad! :cheers:

Baron Davis was really good during his prime. And Chauncey too.

You know whose post game has surprised me? Arron Afflalo. Never really paid attention to him before this year. He has a nice arsenal of turnarounds and fade-aways from the post. I think playing in the triangle has highlighted that skill set.

Miller was great in the post, but inch for inch the best post up guard I've ever seen is Tim Hardaway.

Delonte West had a pretty good post-up game.

Mainly posting up on the baseline...he was money.
