Honestly I believe the true pg/old school 1 have all just about disappeared. The game of basketball have evolved into bucket getters from the 1 to the 5 and I mean being able to shoot the long ball. The scoring pg is what it is now. A old school 1 guard= true pg couple that with the ability to get a bucket from where and when you want to and you have the makings of a great team even without a dominant big. On the other hand have a dominant big down low without a true pg and the team will struggle.Other than Penn at Drake, I don’t know if there are many teams in the Valley operating with a true point guard offense. I don’t think a lack of a true point guard is our primary issue. Our problem is our guards lack in certain skillsets that can take any one of them out of a game at any point. But our biggest problem is we have no presence inside and teams can pack it in on us and hope our guards can’t break them down.
Yuri Collins at SLU is a true point guard, but he constantly has the ball in his hands and their offense is stagnant most of time because everyone is waiting for him to do something. And their head coach is catching heat because this team hasn’t performed to pre season expectations.
