If they are really good then no I don't think so. They both handle the ball, shoot, defend. I will take 2 of those guys.

Can they really though?

Richardson has averaged more than 3 APG once in his career.
Oladipo has averaged more than 4.3 APG once in his career.
THJ has never averaged 3 APG in his career.

It´s not whether you do it, it´s whether you theoretically could be a virtual PG, if you are forced to by other teams.

On the other hand while DeRozan and Lavine are not classic PGs, they have played as #1 options as well. Lavine hasn´t averaged more than 4.5 APG in his career, but he´s never averaged below 3.0 APG either in any of his six NBA seasons.

Then you have DeRozan, who has become more and more of a playmaker throughout his career. Worked himself up from 0.8 to 1.8 to 2.5 to 4.0 and the last three years he´s been above 5 APG. I also read DeRozan finished 6th or 7th last year in total 3pt assists, so he could mimic Luka (he was top 3) most closely from the options.
