The New Orleans / Utah Jazz have had a history of great ball dominant guards, Pistol Pete Maravich, Rickey Green, John Stockton, and Deron Williams. All of them were All-Stars and put up some really strong assists numbers. But the playbooks those guys play with, and the NBA system they played in, are very obsolete today. This era has bigmen who can cross over and hit step back three pointers. Wings are the ball handlers now, and more and more we see a shift from polar play (where all the play making is polarized to certain players) to a more "everyone contributes" style.
