@lakers club
for me my likely candidate for the point guard position would be Kirk Hinrich, he's a good defender
a good outside shooter and a good playmaker.
the bulls 1993 - 94 season has 3 all stars, BJ, Armstrong, Pip, and Grant..
and do you know the reason why they became all stars?
Michael Jordan, he made them better...
Horace, Pip, and Armstrong started their careers as mediocre players..
while Pau and Lamar were already stars in their respective teams in their early careers (Pau)mephis and (Lamar)clippers, and heat.
