You have Giannis twice
 
I would say Joe Johnson is more of a 3 now, but he's not getting picked either way
 
Leave middleton up to whatever you decide
 
Duncan isn't getting picked so not bothering with that

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah forgot to take Giannis out.
 
Gonna leave Joe
 
I think we had Middleton at SF last year, so gonna leave him there for now. I think we have a Bucks fan here now so hopefully he chimes in.
 
And I forgot we had Duncan at PF last year, so I moved him there. 

 

[Boogie]

Knight @ PG

 

[Boogie]

Darren Collison @ SG/PG

Middleton played 62% of his minutes at SG this year according to Basketball-Reference. He should be a SG imo

 

[Stray32]

Agree that Middleton is a SG. And idk what you guys did last year but Duncan is absolutely a C now not a PF. Also I believe this and SVG has said himself that Tobias is more of a SF but he's playing PF out of necessity, as far as skillset goes though (or if he was going to a different team/in a pool of players) he's a SF

 

[RipCity32]

Middleton moved to SG.
 
We had a long debate last year and a majority felt Duncan was a PF, even though he is playing center now. 
 
And yeah, I'm going to move Tobias to SF as well.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Nerlens should be a center and Wiggins at SF

 

[RipCity32]

Fixed both

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I would've kept Wiggins at SG. Maybe we can debate that tomorrow

 

[bosoxlover12]

He played 64% of his minutes at SF according to BB-Ref, and was at SF in their most used lineup according to 82games

Definitely a SF

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd hope there's no argument for putting Duncan at C this year.

 

[bosoxlover12]

He's not anywhere near Top 10 so does it even matter?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

yes

 

[buzzy]

Duncan is a PF.
 
 
 
/leaves thread forever

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Definitely a SF

If you're going to argue a guys position, don't ever use either of those sources again

 

[bosoxlover12]

If you're going to argue a guys position, don't ever use either of those sources again

Then show me your fucking sources again, bro. I don't understand how you can say he's not a SF when the four most played members on that team were Rubio, Towns, Lavine, and Wiggins. How is he a fucking 2 when he plays the 3 and guards the 3 SMH

He started 41 games at SF and 40 at SG. Based on their top 20 lineups it looks like he played ~45% at SG and ~55% at SF. I didn't bother looking at his rookie year.
 
I just think his skillset is more that of an athletic 2 than it is a 3. To me at this point in the NBA, a 3 basically means you can play the 4 in small ball now, and I would never put Wiggins there.

 

[bosoxlover12]

So is Bazemore not a SF? Gordon Hayward? Tyreke?
 
The numbers say he played most at SF. Next season, he's starting at SF. If we're going by play styles to say he's a SG then why is Giannis at SF and not PG?
