Steph Curry's 3-point shooting revolution has transformed the point guard position, giving rise to larger, shoot-first guards like Trae Young and Damian Lillard, while traditional point guards face extinction.
The league is adapting to size, emphasizing 3-point shooting and switching, making smaller guards vulnerable to mismatches, as seen in the Celtics' success against them.
With a growing trend of larger lead playmakers, smaller point guards may face challenges, as exemplified by Jalen Brunson being the last 'small' guard in MVP voting last season.
The increasing emphasis on versatility and size threatens the traditional role of point guards, with the position evolving and elite scorers like Curry remaining essential despite these changes.
