Backup Point Guards come in virtually the same mold these days. A Backup Point Guard is between 6'0" and 6'4" and is athletic enough to play defense that an observer would normally describe as "adequate." A Backup Point Guard distributes the ball at an even pace, finding open teammates to create open looks reasonably well while turning the ball over fairly infrequently, so the team doesn't lack for offensive opportunities when the starters are on the bench. A Backup Point Guard can move the ball and run an offense, removes bad shots from his repertoire, and uses both of those abilities to get to draw fouls.
