Editing Point guard (section)

== Overview ==
A point guard specializes in certain skills, like other player positions in basketball. Their primary job is to facilitate scoring opportunities for their team, or sometimes for themselves. [[Lee Rose (basketball)|Lee Rose]] has described a point guard as a coach on the floor, who can handle and distribute the ball to teammates. This typically involves setting up plays on the court, getting the ball to the teammate in the best position to score and controlling the tempo of the game. Generally, a point guard should always look out for teammates and have the ability to pass well. A point guard should know when and how to instigate a [[fast break]] and initiate the more deliberate sets. Point guards are expected to be vocal floor leaders, with situational awareness of the [[shot clock]] and game clock times, the score, the number of remaining timeouts for both teams and more.
