The role of the point guard has really changed over the years. Back in the day, they were mostly just playmakers, focusing on passing and setting up plays. Now, they’re expected to be scoring threats too. Think about guys like Steph Curry; they not only run the offense but also shoot from deep and create their own shots. Plus, with the pace-and-space style of play, point guards need to be versatile, able to defend multiple positions and even rebound. It’s like they’re the quarterbacks of the court now!
