Isn't every player regardless of size basically a guard now? I mean, you have guys 6-10 to 7 feet tall shooting 3's all the time now. Gone are the days of the Karl Malones and Tim Duncans for PF's and Centers.I like it, but wish we could expand the roster with something other than guards. We are extremely guard heavy.
