Buying a new car is great, however getting upgraded tires, a new navigation, better sound system and sunroof make all the difference right? 

You might say the same about a point guard. Having an average point guard will help you win some games, make some players better and even be consistent on a game to game basis. However we want the newer, more exciting and reliable players who have all the attributes. 

Having a great point guard is essential in today's game. A point guard who can read the defense, distribute the ball effectively with a notable basketball IQ is like a brand new car that you can't wait to use. Just like upgrading your car, you can do the same with your point guard. 

There are many ways to develop an average player into a widely recognized force. Incorporating advanced drills can and will enhance a players ability to produce for the team at a high capacity. For a guard position in the league to last, they have to show they can perform above average and consistently in a certain area, while remaining productive in another. They always possess flash, poise, purpose, the stage is never too big or small for them, they never stop striving for greatness, they compete, never get discouraged, they are great playmakers, and they are constantly enhancing their skill set.

Having a reliable guard who can score, dish and serve the ball is bound to take you into the playoffs. At both ends of the floor, they are energetic, dynamic and unselfish in their approach and ultimately have a big impact on any game.

We’ve entered the golden age of point guards who can do it all. Score, dish and serve. 

I know many come to mind. Players like Curry, Westbrook, Irving, Lillard and Paul to name a few have taken the league by storm. And there's no surprise that every offense goes through the facilitator. Developing Guards is vital to a teams success, they orchestrate the offense as well as facilitate.

Among all the positions on a basketball court, the point guard has the most specialized duties. The point guard must understand the game plan. It is paramount that they create scoring chances for themselves and others, and that they keep their own tempo.

Life is hard for point guards in today's basketball, it's not enough to be a steady, reliable, play it safe distributor. It's an ever changing role that one must adapt to quickly in order to be effective. Failure to do so can result in poor performances, teams coming up short, not making the playoffs, or worse, getting benched or even dropped from the team. 

A developing point guard must become proficient in twelve main attributes in order to be successful. First and foremost, a desire to win, the sheer will to win. The ability to focus on others, direct the game plan. Ball handling skills are essential when developing a guard. They must value each and every possession and take care of the ball. The ability to make teammates better by facilitating. A clear understanding of the situation and being able to direct the fast break are just some of the attributes to an elite player.
