Maybe the exception was Norm Nixon/Magic, but you never saw teams play 2 PGs at the same time until Wall/Bledsoe. Now the NBA is littered with this concept. Adapters: ATL/SAC/IND/OKC...I remember the Clippers not really taking the opportunity to do it with CP3/Bledsoe.

Now, he's showing us the 3 PG lineup....another twist to his creativity
 
Lots of three guard lineups but I honestly have never watched a legit three point guard line up until now. All three of our guys are legit point guards. And I also agree on wall and Bledsoe. You just didn't see a lot of multi point guard lineups. You had guys who were combo guards. But Bledsoe and wall both were legit point guards. I guess Murray is more of a combo to a lot of people? But our lineup is interesting and very different to the nova and Illini teams we saw in years passed.
 
1997 Arizona Wildcats started 3 PG's in Simon, Bibby and Terry.

You may remember they beat our Derek Anderson-less Cats for the title.

Another reason I like our chances against anyone. Its impossible for other teams to pressure us and match-up.

I tried to block that one out. I thought they started Dickerson for some reason as well.
 
Just looked at the Arizona roster. Man we are comparable to them.

Murray is a scoring point guard. The key for these three players comes down to the fact they can all shoot and play defense.
