2026 NBA draft thread

I'm curious how broad your definition of point guard is.  Would you consider Shai, Jrue, Murray, Curry and James point guards?

The team's lead ball-handler would be my definition.

I wouldn't label all of the names you mentioned point guards, but they've all played that role before. I'd say Curry fits the description the least, but that's because his team's system was built so that he could play off ball (a genius decision). Holiday isn't really good enough, offensively, to play that role at a very high level, but his defense has always kept him relevant. Still, he's always been a sort of awkward fit with many teams - very niche. He'd have been a great fit with Luka, but what the Mavs need now is someone who is a scoring threat with the ball so Flagg can settle into a role for which he's actually suited.
