And that is the ability to get the ball across half court against pressure and start the offense.

How he initiates offense and what he does from there can vary greatly and still be an appropriate point guard.

Keith Shamburger and Drew Buggs - APfor3 MU - 4/30 07:01:36

until Pinson’s late season emergence last year, Shambuger - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 07:16:40

Certainly nothing wrong with Shamburger types. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 4/30 07:20:49

well he didn’t pursue his grad degree, which prevented - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 07:26:52

Funny that you don’t consider - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 07:19:57

of course they did - Jeff85 MU - 4/30 11:05:24

Most of the time he is. But honestly he's right on this. - sprintcar STL - 4/30 11:26:14

scoring point guards are the best of both worlds - Jeff85 MU - 4/30 14:30:38

Look at the all SEC teams the last 5-10 years - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 11:39:04

Right. They're not really point guards. There's not a lot - sprintcar STL - 4/30 12:36:25

I agree with both your takes on this - longtimereader MU - 4/30 12:43:19

Right I’m not saying you can’t have a pass first guy - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 12:49:31

As was said below there is no cookie cutter. - longtimereader MU - 4/30 12:53:45

We can say the ones Wu is pointing out play the PG position - sprintcar STL - 4/30 13:54:29

I would say analytics and rule changes have had a bigger - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 14:24:32

All that stuff means is the skills players have, or don't - sprintcar STL - 4/30 14:36:38

Tilmon actually has really good footwork and post moves - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 14:44:39

Lol. I don't mind your analytics because I realize that's - sprintcar STL - 4/30 14:52:28

RE: Lol. I don't mind your analytics because I realize that's - Genco98 MU - 4/30 21:11:07

What don’t you like about his footwork? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 14:54:58

agree, those would not be examples of pgs for consideration(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 07:24:29

Positions don't matter. Skill sets do. (nm) - mizzou john MU

- 4/30 09:54:51

Agree, none of those players had pg skill sets (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 09:55:58

what do you consider a pg skill sets? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 10:14:59

Its something predominantly only old people can identify(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 11:22:48

Got any specifics? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 11:23:28

Are you serious? Here I guess - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 11:26:37

There is only 1 universal skill that a PG must have - alwaysright MU - 4/30 12:12:46

Agreed. (nm) - go tigers MU

- 4/30 22:35:55

agree - Jeff85 MU - 4/30 14:33:40

Clarkson could mostly do that from the list of players - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 12:15:16

There are other skills, but they are not universal. - alwaysright MU - 4/30 12:21:47

I find it interesting that so many want a pass first guard - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 12:44:45

pass first PG's don't really exist anymore - Jeff85 MU - 4/30 14:36:21

We have 2 players on the court most of the time who - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 15:08:20

That’s why Mizzou won 15 games - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 16:05:08

100% (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 14:45:30

I agree with all of those features and - Legendary50 UT - 4/30 11:59:22

That seems to be the 1 obvious area of concern on Buggs - longtimereader MU - 4/30 12:49:50

So which of those attributes did those players - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 11:37:53

They all had a desire to win. So only all the other things - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 11:46:29

like shoot a high percentage? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 11:48:00

Yes. Those were all shooting/scoring guards (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 12:12:45

they also had a lot of the other attributes - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 12:15:36

Disagree. But I'm grabbing lunch, this seems - FIJItiger MU

- 4/30 12:17:03

I dont think X is going anywhere soooooo - Legendary50 UT - 4/30 12:52:29

You could say the same for Watson and Pickett - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/30 12:57:24
