The 6-foot-3 Stephen Curry is obviously the golden standard for point guards of this generation. His ability to be an efficient, score-first killer who can also get his teammates involved broke the paradigm of what a PG could be in the modern era.
And now the league has shifted towards more and more guards who can fill up the stat sheet with scintillating scoring performances that drop jaws and create instant highlights. Take the Philadelphia 76ers Tyrese Maxey and the New York Knicks Jalen Brunson for example, two guards who took over for their teams tonight in an exhilarating overtime battle that ultimately went Philly’s way 112-106.
