Rankings Update: 2022 Point Guards

<span style="text-decoration: underline;color: #000080"><span style="font-size: 18pt"><strong>Rankings Update: 2022 Point Guards</strong></span></span> After finding a post player the next most sought after position is the point guard.  The assist givers, that hidden stat in the score sheet are some of the unsung hero’s.   We are talking about the true point that runs the show and makes her teammates and team better.  Sure we have the combo’s that can run the point but are more adept at putting up the points, and then there’s the hybrid wing that can bring the ball up to start the offense or even start the break of the rebound, this is about the point guard, the player that, no matter how talented your team is, without her you cannot win championships. <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;color: #0000ff;text-decoration: underline">Point Guards:</span></strong></span> <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong><span style="color: #800000;text-decoration: underline">[player_tooltip player_id="25571" first="Yonta" last="Vaughn"] -
