This. I think people are still trying to find some Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, Dirk, Tim Duncan-like "power forward" in their heads to complete the team. I honestly believe all four of those guys would be viewed as centers if entering the league today.
I think Marshall's BEST position is probably the 4 (offensively, for sure, but maybe even defensively, some nights), and I'd submit that I personally can see Klay Thompson working much better here if he's the fourth name on your list above, rather than included with Kyrie, Exum, Grimes, Dinwiddie, etc. To me, he's in that Luka category where no matter what position you have him playing on offense, you probably want him on the slower forward, defensively.
