It's not that a pure PG can't score, it's that they shouldn't be looking to score first.

a pure point guard has nothing to do passing or scoring ... it's all about how you see the floor, the spacing or players, paths for scoringopportunities, while reading the flow of the game ...... it's more of a processing of information sort of like chess vs checkers .... it's why a guylike J-Kidd that could barely shoot .... use to be able to drive and score whenever he wanted .... while intelligent scoring point guards like Billups caneventually develop into a "pseudo true" point guard just based on understanding of the flow of the game and scoring opportunitiesOriginally Posted by cleansneaksonly21

"i think people over value being a "true and pure" pg in the modern game"
Teams will leave you open if you cant shoot, plan and simple....... tell me how many "plays" you can make when your man is sagging 5 feet off you?
Jordan had bigmen that had strong inside defense, ate rebounds and blocked shots when possible ...... a great big man doesn't = scoringbigman, it could simply mean someone that plays the role of PF/C to perfection and in jordan's case that was big men that defended the paintOriginally Posted by koolbarbone
Jordan and Billups disagree.Originally Posted by Nowitness41Dirk
But when it comes down to it you must a legitimate big man to win NBA championships. That is fact. One great big man and one great perimeter player, whether it's a point guard or off-guard... That's the starting point...

so to be a point guard you cant be a scorer??
The "purest" point guards have to be able to score as well as pass...
Stockton 13. 1 and 10.5 for his career
Magic 19.5 and 11.2 for his career
People have got to respect you so you can set up your teammates, and i think Teague will become a welling/better passer
Lawson can get to the bucket but he has no range and no pull up game... let me rephrase this...i think people over value being a "true and pure" pg in the modern game
the teams that tried that this year with Lawson got murdered because he just sat at the top of the key and knocked down threes until they got upon himOriginally Posted by cleansneaksonly21

I'm sorry but there's no way in hell Lawson is a starter in any NBA team.Originally Posted by manamazing55
^^thanks
I know people have said the Bucks like Teague, but you could possibly be YEARS away from him being an actual POINT guard. You could take Lawson now, and have a legitimate PG from day 1

Minnesota Timberwolves are making a strong play to move up in the draft to get Rubio, according to sources. The Wolves have tried to do it by packaging their three first-round picks (Nos. 6, 18 and 2.
If they don't get the No. 2 pick, sources say the Wolves will their No. 6 pick to select either Stephen Curry and Tyreke Evans
Not so

Yeah, but I'm almost certain no team would use all 3 draft picks. A team could use some of the picks for leverage in a trade that wouldbenefit them. Kind of the way Minnesota will (should) use them.Originally Posted by franchise3
Harden, Mayo, and Conley.
...where's Gay fit in all this?
@ the T-Wolves trading all their 1st rounders to try and move up like 4 spots.
Problem is though, I don't think any teams want to dole out 3 guaranteed contracts. Themselves included.
