[MANNAM Basektball Terms] 1. "Point Gaurd" Basketball Position


This time is about the Basketball Position!
In MANNAM Warriors, There is no specific position to each players.
But from today, I am gonna watch Warriors members, so that i can catch their position.
This is not only because i learn the position, but also we have to go out the "Victory Cup Basketball League". We need our position each ! Yeah! haha


< Point guard >

The point guard is the team leader and play caller on the basketball court. It's the reason why "Point Guard" needs to be a good ball handler, and strong leader who is good at pass and and decision making skills.

 As we know, basketball point guards were not tall, but fast players. Also this is still on going. However, Magic Johnson did a magic to the way point guards were used. He was a big so that he can use his height and size to get great passing angles. Magic's success has opened the door for all sorts of point guards. The key to a strong point guard today is leadership, passing, and running the team.

 3.   Deron Williams 
MANNAM WARRIORS
  • Brooklyn Nets 
  • Born in 1984
  • 191cm - 95kg
  • Pro for 7 years
  • 2012 Average Goal Point 21.0
  • 2012 Average Assist 8.7
  • 2012 Average Rebound 3.3

On March 4, 2012, Williams scored a career-high and Nets franchise-high 57 points against theCharlotte Bobcats. He broke the previous team record of 52 points held by Mike Newlin and Ray Williams. It was the most points scored in the NBA that season and the second-most points scored against the Bobcats by one player in a single game, second to Kobe Bryant. Lopez went down again with a sprained ankle and would be out for several more weeks.

Williams remained optimistic that he would resign with the Nets, but was noncommittal as he said he wanted to keep his options open and become a free agent at the end of the season. Williams reiterated this stance on March 16 after the Nets failed to land All-Star center Dwight Howard at the trade deadline.



  4.   Brandon Jennings

MANNAM WARRIORS
  • Milwaukee Bucks
  • Born in 1989
  • 191cm - 95kg
  • Pro for 3 years
  • 2012 Average Goal Point 19.0
  • 2012 Average Assist 5.5
  • 2012 Average Rebound 3.4

During the 2011–12 season, Jennings played and started in all of the 66 games of the lockout-shortened NBA season. He recorded career highs in minutes per game (35.3), steals per game (1.6), field goal percentage (.418) and points per game (19.1). Jennings tied his personal record for blocks per game (.3) which he recorded in the last season. The Bucks again missed the NBA playoffs.

Pr
타이 로슨ior to the season, despite multiple players from his draft class receiving contract extensions, including Blake Griffin and James Harden, the Bucks chose not to extend Jennings' contract, making him a restricted free agent at the end of the 2012-13 season.





  5.  Ty Lawson
MANNAM WARRIORS
  • Denver Nuggets
  • Born in 1987
  • 180cm - 88kg
  • Pro for 3 years
  • 2012 Average Goal Point 46.4
  • 2012 Average Assist 6.6
  • 2012 Average Rebound 3.7

Due to concerns of his height and his often-sprained ankle, Lawson slipped to 18th in the 2009 NBA Draft, where he was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, they had already drafted 2 point guards, making Lawson expendable. This gave the Nuggets an opportunity to get a quality player as they traded their future draft pick to Minnesota in exchange for Lawson. Lawson got a better opportunity in Denver, serving as a backup to then-Nugget Chauncey Billups. In a 105–79 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on November 13, 2009, Lawson made his Denver teammates and the Pepsi Center crowd jump up out of their seats when he dunked on then-Laker center D.J. Mbenga (7'0") and Josh Powell (6'9").

After Billups was traded to the Knicks on February 22, 2011 as part of the Carmelo Anthony trade, Lawson became the Nuggets' starting point guard. On April 9, 2011, Lawson became the first player in NBA history to make his first 10 3-point attempts to start a game. He went 10–11 from behind three-point range and finished the game with a career-high 37 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.
