Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5077076, member: 3535"] You are right - it does work for me,. But I don’t understand why it shouldn't work for everyone. And I don't feel it inefficient nor do I feel it limiting. And it just makes sense. Just as last year we ran Aaliyah at center. Paige was the PF (A Stretch 4 is also a Power Forward) in which she was also a "Point=Forward." I feel it limiting by not calling Paige more than just "A guard." I feel anytime that Paige is referred to as just a guard this past season is a direct point of limiting her game. There are definitions of "Stretch 4's." Definitions of Point-Forwards." Definitions of "Wings." Definition of "Power Forwards." For anyone doubting she wasn't playing Forward just look up the desciptions/defnitions on the internet with a simple search. Thus referring to Paige as "just a guard" is the definition of limiting vs what she did this past year. Why do we want to fight this in which we limit Paige's versatility by just referring to her as a "guard" when in fact she is much more? Let’s give her credit for also performing all these Forward tasks in which she does so effortlessly and amazingly well.. As for Aaliyah, most of her baskets were inside. A lot were low posts She was also the top rebounder. She defended the toughest inside player. I just can't understand not calling her a Center this past year. I'm an old Knicks fan. Willis Reed was MVP. They year before he was playing with Walt Bellamy in which Bellmay was guarding centers and he was scoring I'm estimating 65% - 75% of his baskets in the paint. With Bellamy in the game Reed was the PF. And Wills Reed for his prime career was always around 50% in the Paint and the rest was mid-range/outside. So he wasn't ever a "true center" if someone were to define that as someone that lives in the paint. Yet "he was" a Center. When we played against Wilt and Lew Alcindor most of his shots would be outside. Put some much smaller on him he is then scoring in the paint. He was the top rebounder he was the top inside scorer. This is what Aaliyah was as well. Thus there is a clear logical path to follow; c/f/g. Adn within that there is further definitions that can be easily looked up. Those definitions/descriptions are put there for a reason so they can further clarify the basic of c/f/g. . [/QUOTE]
