He's a PF. That was what he was getting at.

I know Robert Horry being my favorite player is kind of sick because of the way he destroyed our title hopes but I've always admired that he has no fear. never afraid of the big shot.

Well I'm gonna have to disagree. He is not a great ball handler nor shooter. He can swing to the SF rather easily but he doesn't create any mismatches there. But at the PF he is too quick for most at that postion so it suits him best.

He has great foot speed for his size but not enough to defend quicker SG's.

So I don't see many attributes that would label him a "natural SG."

Did he ever even play SG in the NBA?

Nope. He started out as a SF, then got moved to PF when Horford was drafted. And now it looks like that's where he is gonna be at since he was more successful as a PF.

On what planet would a 6'9 player with a 58.8 FT% play shooting guard?
