Maybe I still don’t get this whole wing description cause dfs98 talked about defensive assignments which I thought was dispelled in our previous discussion.Oh, I also forgot to talk about the Frank and Green inclusions. I don’t think of either of them as a traditional pg type, bring the ball down the court, set up and initiate the offense. I think of them as bail out ball handlers and secondary action creators. In a pinch, they can do the other things, so in that sense Maxi should be included with the bigs.
Before our discussion I thought we needed a “big wing”, but that was basically another way of saying…we need a PF. C’s have basically stayed C’s. PFs turned into big wings. SG and SF in general turned into wings and PGs at some point became ball handlers. Just feels like changing words to change words because…high brow reasons.
This discussion does bleed into what are the definitions of the other spots too. Because people placing Wood singularly in the “big” spot makes me think they miss a large portion of his game.
