Re: Who Will Be The Best POINT GUARD In The Next 5-10 Years?

He's going to have to develop his half court point guard game and his shot.

But, I could be wrong. I watched a lot of Steph Curry during his senior year at Davidson, and didn't think he could be an NBA point guard. I thought he would be basically an undersized 2. But, he definitely proved me wrong in Golden State this past year. He could run the break in Golden State's hurry up system, but when they got slowed down into the half court game, he showed that he was a very impressive director of the offense and was great at setting up his teammates.
I think Curry is a better passer with higher basketball IQ than Wall. Not to mention that he can shoot waaaay better so defender have to close out on him which makes it easier to pass the ball when defenders switch.

I was still surprised how well Curry played the point at the NBA level. But like I said I think he is better suited at that spot than Wall is.
