The point guard's stat

I remember when Zack Graber was recruited to Little Rock. He said that he had been a winner wherever he had played, and he expected to be a winner here. He was. I also remember that he was a pretty fair shooter, but he rarely shot, and the fans sometimes would complain that he did not shoot more. It did not seem to bother Zack, though. He just kept doing what he did best - win.

The nature of basketball is such that much of the time a point guard will not score as much as he might be able to score in another position. The reason is that his job is to make the sum of the parts as great as it can be. He is the engineer that keeps the machine running right. So, if a point guard is wanting to score a lot, usually he is a good enough basketball player that he could - but his team would not win as much. The point guard's main statistic is the final score.
