Over the last couple seasons, I’ve noticed that the opinion held by many NBA fans/analysts/etc. is that the league is currently in a golden age of point guards while the traditional dominant centers of yesterdecade are becoming an endangered species.
Additionally, other assumptions I’ve heard thrown around is that the league has little to no depth of quality wing players and this is why Gordon Hayward should be in the conversation as one of the top small forwards in the league (a big fish in a small pond type of scenario).
Well, I set out to try to quantify these and other opinions by determining how to tell if this is a golden age of point guards as well if good wings are becoming rare.
