<p>When I am looking at Point Guards, there a few things specifically I look for. One, how well do they handle the basketball? Do they succumb to extensive pressure or do they handle with patience, confidence, and unselfishness? Two, can they setup teammates to score?

Today I review the Point Guards in the 2021 class and breakdown Top 10 guys in the new rankings. </p>
