Definition of a true point guard

Interesting stuff

So - the silver (or rather, blue) lining here is -

JGIII is worse than John Gillon at the rim, but at least he doesn't try it very often?

It's a shame that the world loves the 3 and teams like ours will live and die with it. Hopefully Richmond's play will open some eyes that a penetrating point guard is more valuable than guys just passing the ball around outside the 3 pt line

I wish someone could chart how many times players get fouled driving to the rim. This wouldn't count as a shot attempt but I think this was part of the strategy of JG3 putting on weight. He scored a lot of his 5000 points in HS driving on Class B kids. Not as easy in D-1. Plus JG3 is a great FT shooter. It's a sound strategy but JG3 just needs to make more of those shots (or get fouled on more of them).

Morey-ball:

Threes and points at the rim.

People always forget the latter. Also why Morey is happy to have Embiid even tho he won't be shooting 25 foot jumpers.

yeah, but he got burned once in a game vs. Buffalo, so those are just stats.

You have to ask yourself, how many coaches would not start the conference's best defender?

Again, the answers are starting us right in the face.
