Rez is a 5 and Cooper is a 4.  Let's not overcomplicate this.  They'll play different positions with different lineups, but they'll be at their best there.

But what does that even mean? Are you saying that’s their position on the offensive end or defensively? What about the 1,000 switches throughout the game? Who’s guarding who then? Can a “4” run the offense like Tatum?

I guess I’ll never understand this fixation on position labels when literally every person in the NBA says it’s positionless basketball.
