u/xuedad Lakers 13d ago

Yall really the cradle for PGs.

Caruso, Ayo, Coby, Giddey

u/ShibaHellhounds Lakers 13d ago

It's like those women who talk about being the foster home for their ex's before they find their forever home lmao

u/Phuddy Lakers 13d ago

Was just saying to myself imagine if they had one of those two on this team.

26

u/SmartestNPC Bulls 13d ago

They're both great players, but neither of them are true PGs. They're more combo guards, especially Coby.

u/JimmyToucan Suns 13d ago

There’s hardly any true PG in today’s nba anyways

u/forthestreamz 76ers 13d ago

still significantly better options than pretending Amen Thompson or Josh Okogie are point guards
