Nothing you are saying is wrong, but I'd argue that the team I picked would operate more like an NBA team and doesn't need a traditional point guard.  On defense it has no weak points, and nothing to exploit.  Its A+ in every area from positional defense, to forcing turnovers, to blocking shots, to rebounding.  On offense it would look like a spread the floor and  exploit the mismatch type of NBA offense.  Gbinije (39% from 3) Rautins (41% from 3) and Johnson (40% from three) hang out behind the line and dump the ball down low to either Coleman or Ownes (whoever has a bigger mismatch).  The offense would flow through one of those two guys, either of which is more than capable of dominating their opponent or passing the ball to an open man if the double team came.   If, for some reason, a team could match up with both of Owens and Coleman (maybe the Mutumbo & Mourning Georgetown team?) then you bring in a true point guard like Jardine and an automatic scoring machine like Anthony off the bench and run a more typical college offense.

Now if you want a really fun, exciting to watch, team, then you take Sherman Douglas and surround him with four guys who can run the court and dunk. None of them need to be able to handle the ball since he can handle all that.  Bonus points if one or two of them can shoot.

Douglas 
Nichols 
Johnson 
Warrick - Imagine Douglas throwing him alley oops! 
Christmas - would love to have Keita's motor in this position, but not his hands
