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

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.

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

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

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.

Nerlens should be a center and Wiggins at SF

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

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

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

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

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.

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?
