His game-setting ability is all-time. Compared to John Stockton, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, etc. A stronger advantage is that it serves as a traditional field commander, but also has excellent solver skills. In particular, the ability to target big men and mismatches is the best ever. In other words, he is a pure point guard with all-time passing ability and the league's top scoring ability.
In modern basketball, the point guard area is disappearing, and the main ball handler is emerging as a new position. If the point guard owns the ball and focuses on the pass, the main ball handler focuses on his score. Paul is a player who can do everything.
He is 40 years old this year. He was selected by the New Orleans Hornets as the fourth pick in the first round of the 2005 NBA Draft. Paul, who rose to the league's best point guard at once, showed his peak skills with the Los Angeles Clippers. Since then, he played in San Antonio last season after playing in Houston, Oklahoma City, Phoenix and Golden State.
Leading Victor Wembanyama added stability and depth to the San Antonio guard, which was full of newcomers.
He is the head of the airlift team, including 4 NBA First Team, 12 All-Star, and 7 NBA First Team All-Defensive First Team.
He also won a gold medal as a member of the U.S. Dream Team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics.
Last season he still showed good competitiveness. I'm 39 years old, but I've played all the games. There are no major problems with durability and physical strength.
San Antonio brought De'Aaron Parks in a trade. He is expected to make a one-two punch with Wembanyama. There is also Dylan Harper, the runner-up in the rookie draft. In other words, naturally, Paul is likely to be excluded from power. Local media observe that the possibility of leaving the team is very high.
ESPN said on the 1st (Korea time) 'The most underrated FA is Chris Paul. His value is undervalued. Paul turned 40 but played in all 82 games last season, ranking ninth in points per play among ball handlers. It is a better number than New York Knicks ace Jaylon Brunson. In addition, in the assist per 36-minute category, he ranked fourth behind Trae Young, Nikola Jokic and Tyreece Halliburton'
In other words, it was the lowest in career in scoring and assist ability, but it is still top of the league.
