Technically anyone with decent handle can play PG but someone like Lee will greatly hamper their strengths by not playing off the ball at the beginning of the possession. He thrives on catch and shoot/catch and drive. If he's bringing the ball up the court and setting up PnR/Triangle/Whatever else, we're not utilizing him correctly.
JR smith and Jamal Crawford running the point
My sides
Crawford hasn't played the Point in years and almost every season that he's played more than 30% of his minutes at the position, his teams have been at least 10-20 games under .500.
J.R. Smith has spent 1% of his minutes at PG over the course of his career, and he only does it on a team with Lebron, who is the main playmaker.
So, no. They can't play the position.
