List Elfrid Payton 5 times.

He must have incriminating photos of Scott Perry.

White doesn't start anymore, Sato does. He doesn't put up big numbers but is very rock solid. Might be on his way to the 50/40/90 club.

By far the most overrated position in the sport. Having a great PG almost guarantees you're not a contender. :lol:

Kemba is probably in the bottom five at this point unfortunately

Curry, Luka and Dame are 3 of the top 5 point guards and have nowhere near the help to be a contender. You claim to be a Warriors fan, so I question how you can have this take.

That’s the point. Having a great PG means nothing unless you have a stacked team around him. It has always been an overrated position. You can’t win a championship if a PG is your best player unless he’s 6’9” like Magic Johnson.

It’s not so much about the position is overrated that you can’t win a title if your best player is under 6’5”.

But the Warriors did win a title with their best player being under 6' 5", and the OP is an apparent Warriors fan so you'd think they'd know that.

So sad to state my main Rubio has been trash all year. Washed at age 30, maybe the fact he played PRO since 14 had something to do with it.

The Warriors never won a championship with their best player being under 6’5”. How many Finals MVPs does Curry have?

A great big or wing can carry you to a title. A great PG is useless without multiple all-stars around him.

I mean Draymond and Klay are both 6'5" so basically on that cut-off. So sure they needed taller role players but really no team wouldn't.

But oh man when Coby did start. He would challenge Payton for the crown.

Not having a great PG almost guarantees you're not a contender, too. It's almost as if you need great players at multiple positions to have a shot at the championship.
