No. With the exception of Michael Jordan. Most point guards have the ball the majority of the time and therefore are more important. Just look at where the top notch (Chris Paul) guards are taken in the draft.

I would say very close. Obviously, a team needs a point guard to run it. However, a team cannot survive without a main scorer, usually a shooting guard. For instance, how would the Sacramento Kings be without Kevin Martin? Not that great. Same goes for the Lakers and Kobe Bryant- they can't win without him. That's not saying point guards aren't important- they are needed very much. It's just a matter of what your team needs. If your teams shooting guard is unbelievable and can handle the ball, and the shooting guard is more important. If your team already has a decent shooting guard but has a phenomenal point guard, then the point guard is more important.

How many guards are on a basketball team?

A team can have as many guards as they want. However, most teams aren't that dumb. Most teams have 2 of each position: point guard, shooting guard, power forward, small forward, and center. After that, a team usually has one more of each but that isn't alwasy the case. Usually, since a point guard and shooting guard are both considered guards, a team will have 4-7 guards.In the NBA there are usually 2 players listed as guards on the court at any one time, although there are no restrictions by rule (all 5 players could be listed as guards or none could be guards)In the NCAA many teams regularly use 3 guards, and some schools even use a 4 guard offense. This typically happens at smaller schools were it is difficult to attract talented larger players.
