Today’s NBA changed the landscape on how the point guard should define his foundation of his PG skills set. Those coming from college should be fully aware of these attributes. I know that not everyone can be facilitators, shooters, scorers, and etc. Play the PG is the most demanding position in the NBA.

That said, if players in this position know what’s expected at the PG, they should put in the effort to getting better at the position to not just further their careers, but to gain winning opportunities for the team to achieve so they become better as a whole.

Adding Lillard to the roster after that trade might not even make the playoffs.

Lillard
Fournier
Simmons
Issac
Bamba

And one of the worst benches in the league.
