The role of a point guard is not the same as that of a playmaker

Point guard (PG) (also known as playmaker).

A point guard is the one who has the most chances on the court. He has to take the ball safely from the back to the front court and pass it to other teammates so that he has a chance to score. If the small forward is the protagonist of a play, then the point guard is the director of the play.

Again, let's start by talking about what makes a good point guard. First of all, his ability to dribble is absolutely indispensable, and he has to be able to carry the ball through half court without any problem when only one man defends him. Then, he also has to be able to pass the ball well and be able to get the ball where it should be for most of the time

Sometimes it's a gap where you can shoot, sometimes it's a better position to guide the ball. Simply put, he wants the ball to flow smoothly, he needs to be able to get the ball where it's easiest to score. To take it a step further, he also has to organize the team's offensive and make the team's attack more fluid.

So, what else do we need from a point guard? When it comes to scoring, the handler is often the last scorer on the team, which means he doesn't shoot easily unless the rest of his teammates don't have a good chance to shoot. Or to put it another way, he has a strong scoring ability, and with his scoring ability, he destroys the opponent's defense to create opportunities for his teammates.

All in all, the handler has one constant principle: if any teammate on the court has a better chance than him, he must give the ball to the teammate with the better chance. Therefore, if a handler shoots a teammate with a better chance than him, he must give the ball to a teammate with a better chance.

Therefore, the shot of the point guard is often a good time to shoot, and naturally we have higher requirements for his shooting percentage, generally speaking, it should be more than 50%, which is higher than that of small forwards and scoring guards. In terms of scoring ability, outside and cutting are two of his must-have weapons.

A point guard, also known as a point guard, is a fixed position in a basketball lineup.

The point guard is often the playmaker of the whole team's offense, so it is also called a playmaker.

Please, a point guard is a playmaker or not.

Actually, it's all the same.

Organizational Guard - Point Guard.

Scoring Guard - Attacking Guard.

Power Forward - Biased Center.

These are all other names for some positions on the field, with the only "name" for small forward and center forward.

The point guard is a fixed position in the basketball lineup, the playmaker of the whole team's offense, and through the control of the ball to decide to pass the ball to the right player at the right time, he is the person who has the most opportunities to get the ball on the court.

A good point guard must be able to carry the ball across half court without any problem when only Eda is defending him. Then, he also has to be good enough to pass the ball where it should be most of the time: sometimes a gap where he can shoot, sometimes a better guiding position.

A point guard must act on the court as an offensive engine that directs his teammates' offense. Defenders are always not greedy for credit and do not aim at scoring for themselves, but use accurate and fast passes to create scoring opportunities for teammates as the primary task; When the defender is attacking, he breaks through the opponent's defensive camp with dribbling skills, and when he is defending, he needs to intercept the opponent's ball with accurate judgment and block the opponent's attack.

Characteristics of a point guard

The average point guard is the smallest player on the roster, but there are many tall point guards like Elvin Johnson in the NBA in modern basketball. In basketball, after serving, it is usually the point guard who attacks by dribbling the ball across the half court and passing the ball to his teammates. Therefore, the players who generally serve as the ball control beam and the old defender are the players with the best ball control ability and the strongest assist ability in the team.

Point guards tend to be leaders on the court, and many teams rely on point guards to decide on their offensive routines. A point guard needs to have a strong ability to control the game, to master the offensive time and game time of both sides of the game, to control the tempo of the game, and to deliver the ball to the best scorer. That's why point guards are often referred to as coaches on the court.

Point guard and playmaker are positions on the same basketball court, and they are not called the same.

A point guard, also known as a playmaker, is a fixed position in a basketball lineup. The point guard is often the playmaker of the team's offense, and through his control of the ball, he decides to pass the ball to the right player at the right time, and is the one who has the most opportunities to get the ball on the court. A good point guard must be able to carry the ball across half court without any problems with only one person defending.

Then, you have to be able to pass the ball well and be able to get the ball where it should be most of the time, sometimes in a gap where you can shoot, sometimes in a better position to guide the ball.

When the coach does not call a timeout but is on the sidelines, the defender has to take on the responsibility of arranging tactics, often a good defender can not only make a team more united, but also make the game more enjoyable. Scoring guards, of course, belong to the players who have the best power in the court, they have strong projection skills, and they have three-point skills that can easily score high points in the game. The difference between the two is that the responsibility of the playmaker is more obvious, assists and passes are their duties, while the scoring guard needs to make decisive shots and cooperate with teammates to improve the score, both of which are indispensable and are important team components.

1.A point guard is not necessarily a playmaking guard, an organizational guard must be a point guard, like the Nuggets' Anthony Carter was only a player who controlled the ball for half the court, and Iverson was there to organize after half the court!

2.In fact, there are only two kinds of guard lines on the court: organizing guards and scoring guards, because one of the responsibilities of organizing guards is to control the ball over half the court and then organize the offense, so some people are also used to being called point guards, which is actually a position. Later, it was also suggested that although the playmaker and the point guard are both No. 1 positions, the responsibilities of the players referred to are also different, the point guard is to dribble the ball over the half court and then hand it over to other players to organize, while the playmaker is the real offensive playmaker.

A playmaking guard is the same as a point guard, and a scoring guard is the difference between a playmaking guard.
