At one point in the video the commentator mentioned that Florida was #1 in offensive efficiency. And he’s the pg, he’s got to be doing something right.

I didn't really want to say it but the two players who came to mind were Curry and Stockton. He has great instincts.

Keyonte, in my opinion. Keyonte had an ast% of 27.2% and an ast/to ratio of 2.06. I think that Keyonte is a good passer/has good vision, but he just needs to learn how to get the offense going earlier/look to pass a little more. He's also still a little younger than WCJ, so potentially has more potential to grow in that area. I think the Jazz have given up on him as a point guard though, so it's still unlikely to happen.

Collier is the one I would most like to see. He would be a really great player if he learned to shoot, but he is such a bad jump shooter it feels very unlikely.

Just for fun I looked this up on NBA.com and here is the list of guards with a 20-25% ast% and a less than 2.0 ast/to ratio:

- Sexton, Castle, Trendon Watford, Ant Edwards, Jaylen Brown, Anthony Black

- Other guys in that ast% and ast/to range include Jordan Poole, Coby White, Bane, Scoot, Kevin Porter Jr.,

25 minutes, 3-8 from the field (37%), 2-6 from 3 (33%), 1-2 from the line (50%), 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 9 points.
Decent debut. Love the assist numbers (should have had a few more).

People have been questioning the value of small guards for awhile now and based on this off season I think it's only the beginning. You have to be so good as a non-defensive guard to have good value in this league. Guys like Sexton and Monk are really good, but are also not worth a mid level in this new NBA. I still think your chance of hitting on an NBA player is high if you go small guard, but chances of getting a player that's worth than the mid level is low. You almost have to be an all star level player (Garland, Trae, etc.) to be a full fledged starter as a non defensive guard.

Next year, I'm certainly going to readjust the way I do my board. Hard to ignore how these guys are valued around the league. You don't really need to draft one of these guys if they can be available through trade at any time for close to free.

Maybe small guards will become NBA's version of running backs... super fun, super explosive... not very valuable... lower paid... drafted for their rookie deals and then discarded? At least majority of them...

They already have, at least in the draft.

It’s already started. The standard to get on the court is very high and the salary is going to be very low. I wonder how far it will go in this new CBA. We saw guys like Sexton get devalued, they are less than a full MLE. But I wonder what becomes of the Ja, Trae, Garland tier of players. Don’t think they are max guys anymore.
