I get what you are saying, but I don't work for a basketball team and neither do the vast majority of people on here. It is what we understand, just like you said. I do like and always believed, that you are who you defend. Which is what you alluded to in your post. But there is overlap, even at the level you are describing. Plus the optimum way to elevate those players talents.

Even if you move away from titles or labels. If you had Tatum, would it be best to grab Hunter? Who has a lot of the same characteristics and attributes. Or would you take a lesser player like White, who has other skills you don't currently have on the roster. Its all conjecture and speculation. I think it adds a bit of debate and conversation, which isn't always a bad thing.

It might be asking too much at this point, but I just hope we can discuss it that way over time.

I just don't see that happening. There is no debating your knowledge and experience, plus there is a solid group of guys here that will probably indulge you. But me and the rest of the random rabble that visit will just be a bit out of our element and it will probably be over our heads. I think you are just going to get frustrated trying to push that narrative. Sorry again..

But don't you see how you are already doing it -- your Hunter vs. White take is right on. But you don't have to say, "Lets take White because we need a point guard." Say, "I'd prefer White because we need another primary/secondary ball handler and a shot creator more than we need a catch and shoot wing."

Again, I don't want to come off like a prick. But I also don't want conversations going on and on about how Bradley Beal wouldn't be good to add because it would force Jrue Holiday to play "Point guard" and he isn't good at "point guard"
