You do realize that Arizona employs a guard system. There is no "point guard."

Examples: Damon Stoudamire, Khalid Reeves, Reggie Geary in 93-94. All of these guys played in the NBA and were point guards on the pro level.

Jason Terry and Mike Bibby, both played together at times and who was the point guard was irrelevant.

Jason Gardner and Gilbert Arenas. Both guys shared the ballhandling duties and Arenas plays the 1 in the league.

Bayless and Jennings will both have the same opportunities to explore mismatches and find people. He lead Arizona in assists this year anyway. Jennings will only make it easier because it's another guy to pass to who can finish.

Point guard is the only position in basketball where maturity is a must and I don't think any NBA team should hand the reins to a 19 year old. The only person ready for that in the last 15 years was Marbury.


Yeah but a lot of those guys draft stocks went south b/c they were forced to play 2 guard lineups where they were the secondary ball handler leading to questions about the ability to play the one, hence the argument for leaving early.

My thought is that they would essentially both just be 'guards', much like UCLA uses both Collison and Westbrook as combo guards. Either guy could direct the plays, play off the ball, score, or distribute.
