Question

 who is the best point guard in nba

Answer 1

Picking a best point in NBA is a tough debate. You've got veterans like Chris Paul and Tony Parker who have been doing a great job for years, and then you have the young guys like Damion Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving and Steph Curry. When you think about a good point guard a few different things come into play. The first being distributing the ball, a good point guard is able to create plays for the rest of his team, finding the open teammate and basically managing the game. Secondly a point guard most be able to score for himself. Finally having a point guard who can rake up steals and rebounds never hurts. I believe that Steph Curry is the best because of his ability to shoot the three. He can score from all areas of the floor and is able to find teammates for assist often. Some point guards can become selfish and forget to pass, Steph Curry rarely forgets to pass and is a great game manger. 

Answer 2

Let's dive in! To answer your question we must first breakdown the definition of the best PG. Who can create the most opportunities for their teammates? Who can score the most? Let's use everything!!! So the best PG in the league has to be someone who creates for his team, can space and see the floor, can lead the offense, hopefully can defend, pass and handle at a high rate, etc. Many PG can do some of these things to perfection, but are lacking in other areas. There is only one PG, in my humble opinion, that can "do it all" or at least make up for it with their game. That man is... Luka Doncic!!!! Some may debate on whether or not he is a PG, but he is so fight me. On top of averaging 32.4 points per game with 8.6 rpg, 8 apg, 1.4 bpg, and a PER of 25.2 for his career so far. To compare, Michael Jordan finished his career with the HIGHEST PER in NBA history at a whopping 27.91. That is insane! And Doncic is only 2.71 away and is still developing and maturing at an incredible rate. His team is lack luster and cannot support such a star with its current setup, but that does not take away from the dominance Doncic displays on the court at all times. So my humble answer. LUKA DONCIC.

Answer 4

What type of point guard are you interested in an initiator, distributor, pure facilitator, or scorer? I personally would be more interested in a pure facilitator. A pure facilitator wins games, because that person makes sure everyone that is in the game is producing at their full compatibility. Someone that is currently in the NBA and holds the characteristics as such would be someone like Steph Curry, Damion Lillard, and/or Chris Paul.

Answer 5

Truthfully speaking the term point guard is not appropriate for the NBA anymore. If you look back a few years you might find and compare John Stockton, Jason Kidd and a few others, but today’s guards are score 1st, pass second. Teams also run fewer offenses in which point guard skills are required. The best example of that might be the golden state Warriors. In any given series, any number of players will bring the ball down the floor and start the offense. It might be Draymond Green it might be Steph Curry it might be Andre Iguodala it might be Kevin Durant all of them are good players but none of which are classic point guards

Answer 6

Ask the question in this manner.  If you were a NBA General Manager going into the draft looking for a point guard who would you pick? Magic Johnson, Stephen Curry, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, John Stockton, Tony Parker, or Kyrie Irving?

 

Stephen Curry is the answer for 2015.  The others are old, retired, or injured.
