Players like Rose and Westbrook are true PGs but the have such good scoring ability to go with it.
quote:
While very good players they are not true points to me. They play point strictly because they are the best scoring option at the guard or forward positions for their team or in Westbrook's case at times just a ball hog that tries to keep up scoring wise with Durant. True point guards are guys like Tony Parker who get the offense going for his teammates and only take over scoring wise for the most part if it's needed.
Westbrook isn't a 1...he's really a 2 playing the 1.
A pure point guard is Chris Paul, Steve Nash...guys like that. PASS FIRST

Have seen Steve Nash's 3Ball? He can shoot first like a boss bro

Not many true PG's left in the NBA. The game has changed since the days of Mark Price and John Stockton.

For those who aren't close enough to attend the exhibition game on Nov 7th vs W Alabama is going to be on ESPN3.

Didn't know that applied to exhibition games too.

Yeah honestly surprised that includes exhibition games

Well if you're wanting to get technical than there isn't many true PGs left if you're talking in the sense of NBA history, but in the modern era Rose and Westbrook are considered true PGs to me because the game is different. Now that being said I know what your saying. There are very few left but there still are some. Paul, Rondo, Rubio, and Parker are the best in the business at facilitating and offense.

quote:Anything AUHD does feeds for will be on the SECN+ part of the Watch ESPN app whether the game is an exhibition or season game. AUHD does in arena feeds for exhibition games in the area so it's very easy for that to be on the SECN+ part of the app.

quote:They are points more out of necessity than the game changing. If the Bulls or Thunder had a true facilitating points then both of them would be playing a slashing 2 guard role. Regardlesd of whether you want to call it guard or forward Strictly speaking of skill sets Lebron is much more of a point when he's not posting up than either Westy or Rose.
