As the NBA has evolved, there is a rethinking of what it means to be a point guard in this modern era.
In my opinion, every position is being re-litigated at the moment. Nothing is sacred in this era of positionless basketball in the NBA. In spite of this, the point guard has been subjected to the same level of scrutiny as anyone else.
For a long time, point guards only scored when it was essential for them to do so. Now, it’s common for teams to employ a point guard as their primary scorer. Furthermore, any point guard needs to be capable of making good decisions on the ball in order to be successful.
As a result, the Houston Rockets have had to learn that lesson the hard way. While Kevin Porter Jr. is unquestionably talented, on the surface, he does not appear to be a point guard – in any era.
