We spend a lot of time talking about the Milwaukee Bucks’ playmakers in a traditional sense. Point guards like Michael Carter-Williams, Greivis Vasquez and Jerryd Bayless are constantly scrutinized and analayzed, but in a way, is that missing the point?
The NBA has long developed past the days where a team’s primary production in terms of passing and offensive creativity only comes from the point guard, or at a stretch in the backcourt.
We’re in the era of the point forward now, spearheaded by the greatest player of his generation LeBron James, but all across the board there are players of differing levels and skill-sets who are finding ways to excel and increase their value in the NBA thanks to an eye for a pass, and the ability to break down defenses too.
