Why does arenas play PG?

Question

when he always shoots instead of pass and sometimes even when no one else would ever shoot it he does

Answer 1

Was a SG in college.Too short to play SG in NBA.Shoot-first PG,those exist.

Answer 2

..........

Answer 3

that's his d**n position    

Answer 4

b***s

Answer 5

there are several reasons why...

1. he's too short for a shooting, a shooting gusard needs to be at least the height  of 6'4. But for allen iverson that's a different story.

2. Wizards already got a good perimeter shooter Deshawn Stevenson.

3. Man if Gilbert was an sg, things can get ugly. No offense but Gilbert Arenas is sort of a ballhog shooting more than 30 shots per game and goin nearly 39% from the field. So decide if u want gilbert as an sg or a pg. You decide...

4. Gilbert does pass, he avgs 8 assist per game from past 4 seasons.

- I hope this has helped with your question

EDIT: Also an inch higher does make a difference in the nba.

Also since there are no good back up pg in Wizards, how about switching positions of Deshawn Stevenson and Arenas, how would that turn out ? You decide....

Answer 6

too short good ball handle skillz

Answer 7

Because he's too short to play SG.   Like honestly that's why.

If I had a big defensive point guard,   I'd play Arenas at SG.

That would be Arenas' ideal situation.  

Playing SG next to a tall,wide defensive PG.   Someone like Mardy Collins from the knicks,  whose 6'6, plays defense, and is a pass first point guard.  

If only Mardy was good LOL.

Answer 8

He still gets about 6 assists per game.  There are different types of PG's.  Not everyone is a pass first kind of player, in fact, most players aren't.  He is still one of the best at his position though.

Answer 9

i guess he trying to prive to his coach ges good so he doesnt get pout back on the bench

Answer 10

hes a diff type of point guard, like a score first mentality
