Former NBA player JJ Redick recently offered his perspective on the changing landscape of the NBA, asserting that the conventional role of a traditional point guard is fading away as primary ball-handling duties increasingly fall to wing players.
Redick expressed his views on The Old Man & The Three podcast, questioning the relevance of the term “traditional point guard” in the modern NBA.
He emphasized the shift towards big wings taking on the primary playmaking roles, citing examples like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown for the Boston Celtics, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Franz Wagner, and Paolo Banchero.
