Well I’d at least have to say that Miami does have Kyle Lowry, someone we did, in fact, target, who has put to Garth some nice games in the playoffs (especially early).
He’s not one of their best players. Fell off a cliff recently.
quote:
Denver has Murray - and I guess there’s an argument there for him not being an absolute pass-first point guard, but he is an elite pg.
He’s not the primary ball handler. He’s a combo guard and thus not a “true point guard.”
quote:
LA has Deangelo Russell who is also more of a scoring pg, but nonetheless, he’s a point guard who can operate off the pick and roll and drain the midrange.
He’s not the primary ball handler. He’s not a “true point guard”.
quote:
Boston has a combination of Derrick White (more of a score first), Marcus Smart (defense/pass) and Brogdon (you’re all-around PG).
Maybe the best example I guess but I don’t think Smart is really a “true point guard” and those other guys are role players.
People keep saying we need a “true point guard”. But the only team running that really is the suns. Classic point guards are out dated. People just don’t like our primary ball handlers ability to run the offense. BI, CJ and Zion are our ball handlers. There’s really no room for anyone else. We just need them to play better and our coach to run a better offense.
But the statement that you “need” a “true point guard” is just crazy. The best teams don’t use one as a primary ball handler.

I do not believe this at all. It is cyclical and smaller guards have gravitated towards being combo guards. That does not eliminate their value. Smaller guards have speed and quickness. We do not have that. We are trotting out these long defenders and they are at a disadvantage against smaller, quicker players. Once again, the game is played at levels. 6'8 guys just aren't normally as quick as 6'2 guys.
Teams have figured that out about us and are just going to go small. We don't have the heft to punish them for that. We need a smaller dynamic guard to add to the rotation. That was really exposed when Alvarado went out injured. Lewis just doesn't look to be that guy. McCollum is getting older and is not that quick to begin with. If your solution is to throw Jones or Daniels into that role, we are screwed. They will try hard, but they just aren't built for that.
