Ricky Rubio deserves to be the Suns long-term point guard

Johnson. Nash. Rubio...?

The purple and orange seem to have a thing for point guards (we can never forget their three-headed PG experiment with Bledsoe, Dragic, and Thomas all in the same lineup), and the franchise’s development and reliance on the position has ultimately been what’s vaulted them to their greatest pinnacles throughout history.

Kevin Johnson was the consistent stabilizer that parlayed scoring duties amongst a bevy of potent bucket-getters (Barkley, Chambers, Majerle) in the early ‘90’s. The swag and hard-nosed grit he brought to the position was ultimately the glue that incessantly banded together a number of fiery personalities.
