Excluding Canada which basically has the same development system as America, why is the rest of the world not producing any good guards? All the good international players are 6’8+. Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Siakam, Sabonis, Markannen, Porzingis, Sengun, Gobert etc. Meanwhile who is the best small international player? Dennis Schroder? Kind of an interesting discrepancy
Josh Giddey is meant to be a point guard (has spent most of his NBA career so far being played out of position due to roster construction). Dyson Daniels is also a guard/wing type. Tyrese Proctor is expected to be a high draft pick this year too.
On the older side, Dennis Schroeder just led Germany to a FIBA World Cup win.
And you know, Luka.
Giddey’s also 6’8.
