South Carolina basketball has had an up-and-down history. Some years of Gamecock basketball saw the garnet and black rank among the best teams in America, while other seasons saw significant struggles in Columbia. One constant for almost every good Gamecock team, though, was a top-of-the-line point guard.
The point guard position at Carolina has been led by a variety of different player archetypes. Some were true floor generals who orchestrated the offense and led with ease. Others scored the basketball as the primary perimeter ball-handler and playmaker. Still, other Gamecock point guards did a little bit of everything as they led their team from the 1-position.
