How many traditional point guards are left in the NBA now?

Small ball era, the biggest change is the point guard and center, now fans prefer to see three-point shooting and magnificent offense, such as Curry, Lillard, Irving such as the point guard, and the status of the traditional point guard is very embarrassing, the following is a breakdown of the current seven traditional point guard.

Simmons can be said to be a high large traditional point guard, the 76ers also recognized him, the off-season five-year $170 million early contract extension. This season Simmons averaged 15 points, 7.5 rebounds, 8.6 assists, the data is very comprehensive, defense, organization is very good, is not the ability to shoot, is not at all can not, he just does not have the talent to shoot, this is very difficult to come out of the training through the latter. Now 76 people's record is not warm, and Simmons has something to do with this kind of era, the team's brain will not shoot, want to win the championship is very difficult, Simmons to the playoffs will be targeted.

Ball recently played well, but from the overall performance of the season is not good, averaging 12 points, 5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, shooting rate of 40.9%, three-point shooting rate of 36.6%, free throw shooting rate of only 51.4%. Ball has been shooting well from three lately, but he's not a shooter and opponents still put him up. Ball has had a lot of injuries and is banged up every season, but there's no denying that Ball is very talented and has a high ball-hawking quotient, which seems to be the case with every traditional point guard, and Fox and Trae Young, who are young, offensive-minded point guards, are just so much more palatable than Ball.

Rondo's form at the beginning of the season was very good, three-point shooting rate of more than 50%, as the season went deeper, Rondo's form slipped seriously, the last four games scored 4 points, 0 points, 2 points, 2 points, and the defense is not good. Rondo left the Celtics in 2015, bounced around the Maverick, Kings, Bulls and Pelicans, and is now really at the end of his career.

The worst of these traditional point guards is Elfrid Payton, who many fans have probably forgotten about. Payton is the 10th overall pick in 2014, when the Magic had high hopes, but was slow to cash in on the talent, and then bounced around the Sun, the Pelicans, Payton has been playing in the weak team, in fact, he is very good physical quality, defense, passing is very good, this season in the Knicks averaged only 7.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.1 assists, but shooting rate of only 39.7 percent, three-point shooting rate of only 26.5 percent.

The strongest active traditional point guard Paul, Paul is better than the above five people is shooting, Paul shooting is not as horrible as Curry, playing is not as good-looking as Irving, Lillard, but he will do everything, so he is the most comprehensive point guard. Paul is also going downhill, he hasn't been an all-star since the 16-17 season.

If I didn't mention Wall, everyone might have forgotten about him, Wall is out for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon, his return is undetermined, and Wall's injury is said to be so severe that it will be difficult for him to return to his peak. Wall is also a traditional point guard, scoring mainly by breakthroughs and mid-range, 16-17 season is his peak, averaging 23.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 2.01 steals, but three-point shooting rate of only 32.7%.

It's safe to say that the traditional point guard has been phased out of the league.
