To win big in today's men's college basketball game, it is beneficial to have an extension of the coach on the floor with a quality point guard. As a former coach, the two things I look for in a player in that role are the ability to effectively create shots for their teammates and the ability to contain penetration defensively. Certainly, being able to make perimeter shots is a big plus, but court vision and the ability to disrupt plays are key for every possession during a game.

Likewise, big-time point guards are the floor generals who are relied upon to make their team's offense efficient, while making sure they're playing the right defense on the other end.
