So because Derek Fisher is 34 years old, a younger point guard is better than him? I never knew that being a +30 athlete constitutes not being able to play sports. I guess according to your standards, players like, Grant Hill, Shaq, Michael Finley, etc. are useless, huh? If I think about it, in the 2 seasons Brooks has been in the league, I've never seen him hit a big shot. In fact, I've never seen him make a game winning play... A game winning pass or a defensive stop. The fact that I have to explain to you that Derek Fisher is a better player in his "old age" just exemplifies to me that you don't really watch basketball on a regular basis. I'm still unsure if you're actually confusing Aaron Brooks with Derrick Rose or Brandon Roy.
And "No", scoring double digits means nothing when they are garbage points. Fine, score 13 points on the Lakers... Score 13 on the Celtics, but what does it actually mean when you're a point guard that doesn't pass and when you take up to +15 shots, (mostly from the 3-point area) per game just to get "double-digit" points? A better point guard than a 34-year old? Sorry, but your argument just isn't flying.
