The dropoff between most teams' starting PG and their backup is pretty steep, plus unlike every other position they have the ball in their hand almost every play. No use in the Chris Paul's and Tony Parker's of the world picking up quick fouls on D, in fact I rarely see those guys in actual foul trouble.
