Available Point Guards List by Health

With all this talk about Lonzo, it made me wonder how his health compares to other possible point guards. Chemistry is so important and that can only occur by taking the floor together as much as possible. A big difference between 2019-2020 and the 2020-2021 seasons was chemistry. A ton in 2019-2020 and none in 2020-2021, mostly due to injuries.

So here is a breakdown. As you will see, Lonzo has the lowest total of games played for any point guard over the last four years except for Dinwiddie, who was out all but 3 games this season and yet only play two less games than Lonzo over 4 years.

Player '18 '19 '20 '21 Total

Dinwiddie 80, 68, 64, 03 = 215

Lonzo 52, 47, 63, 55 = 217

Brogdon 48, 64, 54, 56 = 222

Lowry 78, 65, 58, 46 = 247

CP3 58, 58, 70, 70 = 256

Schroder 67, 79, 65, 61 = 272

Simmons 81, 79, 57, 58 = 275

Rubio 77, 68, 65, 68 = 278

Lilard 73, 80, 66, 67 = 286

Sexton 82, 65, 60 = 207 (only 3 years in league, but only 10 games less than Lonzo)

Based off this, Lilard is the most durable. As far as realistic options, Rubio or Schroder stand out. Simmons I don't think is a realistic option money wise. I know there are other factors like experience and leadership (Lowry), defense, 3pt. %, etc..., but from strictly a durability point of view, I say we either roll with Schroder or try Rubio.
