View Full Version : So many great point guards

The point guard position is historically stacked at the moment.

Curry, Westbrook, Kyrie, Lillard and CP3 will all one day be automatic additions to the HoF.

Curry is a dual MVP winner, and almost certainly will end up with multiple rings. Westbrook is going to break all sorts of statistical records over the next few seasons. Kyrie and Lillard are both potentially future MVPs and, while CP3's MVP window is now closed, he'll be remembered as one of the greatest ever non-MVP winners, especially if he can somehow find a way to win a ring before he retires.

None of these guys are touching Magic, but do you think any of them have a shot at finishing their career as the #2 all-time PG.

No mention of Chalmers? Blasphemy.

jason kidd was arguably better than all of them and hes barely a top 5 PG.


position is deep though.

We're in the era of quick PG's because that's what the rules promote. Not saying there aren't a lot of really talented PG's, but it's a different game when the rules allow you to go anywhere you want on the court, regardless of your size or strength.

it's just a talent rich position given the field of 6ft ish guys who would want to play pro ball is immense, hence the PGs are truly outliers

by comparison the talent for SF/PF/C positions will always be slimmer

It seems historically stacked because most of them are not really point guards, they're shooting guards.

Same reason why the SG position looks so weak. There didn't just stop being great SG's, they're just so-called "PG's" now.
