Actually, the fail is on you if you haven't noticed that a lot of people in the scouting community think of Quarterman as a wing and he gets compared to players like Jeremy Lamb and Evan Turner quite often.

He's a combo guard for his high school team.

No doubt, Johnny is taking him as a PG because of his desire to have a big point, but I think versatility is a key here. I think Johnny would like to be able to have a team that can switch on all screens (especially in this era where everybody uses mostly ball screen action for some reason), so having a team with five athletes that are 6-5 to 6-8 or so, all long and with good lateral movement, is desirable. A lineup that's 6-5, 6-6, 6-6, 6-7 and 6-8 would be preferable to your traditional pg, 2g, sf, pf, C structure to Johnny, I think.

In other words, Quarterman is more desirable for his versatility than his pure PG skill, I think.

Jordan's versatile. Jarrell's versatile, Quarterman's versatile, Hammink is versatile. These are the kind of players he wants, I think.

You will not find a single person to disagree with you on this. But he will be coming in as a point guard for the reasons you just posted. So what's the problem...
