Who Are The "True Point Guards" In The MVC?

by **Ace Dad** » February 16th, 2012, 6:58 pm

Most of you have now seen all 10 teams.

Which teams have a "true Point Guard" in terms of style of play, penetration, defense, leadership, and the ability to run the team under all situations?

Deon Mitchell is still developing but he will be one of the league's best in the near future. Currently Antoine Young and Jake Odum are what first come to my mind when I think of PG's in the Valley. It's unfortunate that Odum has not been 100% healthy this season.

IMO the MVC has three good pt guards Odum, Raglund & Bizoukas in that order when Odum is healthy.

I wasn't convinced on Young & yes, Deon Mitchell has a chance to be very good.

Young has always had the Panthers number and I will be all the happier when he has graduated. He can shoot, take it to the rim and easily run the offense. I suspect his defense but mainly because Creighton does appear to have one.

I think Odum is the best true PG. Ragland is more of a scoring PG.

Bizoukas was great to start the year, but it's pointless to play him when he provides A B S O L U T E L Y NO offense. I've never seen a PG who can SUCK that much at shooting the ball.

Do any of you see any "true Point Guards" playing for my beloved Aces or do we have Guards who are playing the Point Guard position?

Your answers will determine how much "Crow" I eat and I have no problem eating Crow if I am off-base.

The perfect answer and the perfect squelch.

Personally I hate phrases like "true point guard". Some people seem to think PGs should never score, only pass, direct teammates, etc. just give me good players. How good a PG is often times is related to how good the rest of the Team is. The best guard in the league is Colt Ryan. I would say Odum or Raglund if we have to narrow it down.

That's said...switch Antoine Young and Walt Lemon and Lemon would appear to be a lot better with Creightons other players and Young wouldn't look nearly as good with Bradley's players.
