Top 5 Point Guards Today
The point guard in basketball is an absolute crucial position. The ideal point guard doesn’t even have to be a major scorer, a solid point guard needs to have good ball handling, a high IQ for the game, and great court vision. If your point guard has to may turnovers, rushes his/hers passes, and can’t handle pressure, along with not making the right reads on offense or not even setting up the offense or defense, that is a great recipe for disaster.
Point guards need to be the commanders on the court, setting up defenses and making sure offensive plays are run correctly. Knowing the defenses’ moves before being made on offense, and knowing how to get in position to make a play on defense. What separates the ok point guards, from the good point guards, from the excellent point guards is the ability to score, the ability to get others in position to score, and athleticism. When you tie in all the previous listed attributes, you get excellence, and all of these point guards have excellence.
#5 D Rose
(Career: 20.8 pts, 6.7 ast per game, with a 46% field goal percentage) Though missing about half of the 2011-2012 season, the whole 2012-2013, and only playing 10 games in the 2013-2014 season due to a torn ACL, Derrick Rose is looking just as healthy as ever. With only 5 years of experience (all with Bulls), the 2008 first round draftee still has a lot of “wows” left in his arsenal. Standing at 6 foot 3 inches and usually being one of the smaller players on the floor D Rose doesn’t let that bother him. With ridiculous athletic ability and speed, above average shooting ability, and great court vision (though being mostly injured that last 3 seasons) D Rose will still be a point guard needing a lot of defensive attention.
