Seems to me there have been issues in the past, if not this year — I’m just suspicious of something that “anyone can do.”

I think Bob is just trying to say that the same person doesn't have to do all the traditional point guard things. One player with a good handle might dribble the ball up the court while another calls and/or initiates the play, etc.

I do think we need talented small guard(s) on the court to match up with other teams, both for offensive and defensive reasons. For instance, a smaller player tends to have an advantage when trying to disrupt a taller player's higher dribble.
