I didn't notice that. In general I will probably be very conservative with changing eligibility, if at all unless it's stupid stuff like in the past years where many exclusive centers also somehow had PF. So yeah if I change things it will only be obvious spots.
There are definitely players who should only have 1 position, namely small short PGs who have not played off ball (ex Trae Young or FVV), and centers who are laterally slow (Jokic, Lopez), usually they are tall rim runners too (Ayton, Landale).
And it goes without saying very, very few players should have 3 positions as well. Yahoo in the past has not removed player eligibilities even when a player stops playing a certain position. If that's the case this year then I will deliberate removing eligibility.
Increasing player position eligibility too much can also start to infringe on the purpose of having positions in the first place.
And one thing I do not want is getting spammed with requests for positional changes where it's like a guy only plays a certain position very sparsely. Like let's say Mikal who is obviously SG/SF gets a couple minutes at PF in like 3 or 4 games a month into the season - I don't want to even consider something like that. Or like LeBron center minutes lol.
I'll check around if Josh Lloyd has any recommendations on that subject as well.
I agree. I think it should all be discussed here if anyone wants it. Obviously I'd love for my 3 Cs to have PF eligibility but I know that is unrealistic. But Marcus Smart seems like a no brainer to at least have SG as well. He likely will play next to Ja a lot.
