It’s a little bit easier to tell who a point guard in the league is when you look at their stats. However, it’s also hard to know who they are.
There are just so many different ways to look at a stat. Let’s take a look at some examples.

This makes sense since you are looking for a player with a high number of passes. The NBA average Passes Per Game is 19.2 which is right in the middle of the pack.

Wade has become a dominant force in the Miami Heat’s attack. The All-Star is averaging a career-high 24.2 points per game, shooting over 45 percent from beyond the arc, and has made the right decision to remain in Miami.
Kobe Bryant – Los Angeles Lakers
Bryant was the best player in the league last year, but the Los Angeles Lakers have become a team that isn’t great on paper. Bryant is going to become one of the league’s elite players in the coming years.
