Three things the point guard has to do

Point guards have to do most of the things that other players do. Shoot, defend and so on. There are however some things that are specific to point guards. Here are three.

Get the ball to the middle of the floor, either with the dribble or the pass.

Decide when the fast break is over, call the play and make sure everyone is in the right place.

Throw the pass to a teammate to start the offense. I used to say make the first pass but some point guards thought that a pass to a player on the other team was okay. lol

It sounds easy or banal but the kicker is that the team will have a tough time winning if you only succeed in doing this 90% of the time.
