Just saw this thread. Great season so far.
I really don't see how this team is that bad.

It feels weird to say this, but SToll is actually correct. Point Guard is the least important position in basketball. This is mostly because the smallest player on the court is going to have the lowest defensive impact. There are a few cases where a point guard is so good on offense that he makes up for this (Paul, Nash, Deron, a few others), but generally speaking, the point guard is the least important position on the floor.
Now it's not one of the "least important positions in sports," but it certainly isn't one of the most important ones. If a center, wing, and point guard are all of equal ability, the point guard would be the least coveted of the three, generally speaking.
While I mostly agree with this, aren't wings so much more easily replaceable? I feel like the gap between a good point guard and a replacement point guard is bigger than the gap between a good wing and a replacement wing. But a great wing is generally more valuable than a great point.
