Facepalm.

So heres the thing. Look at all the things he does. Hes literally playing multiple roles every time he comes up the court. Got an assist out of the post, full court pass, in transition, in halfcourt. He guarded pointgaurds and boxed out bigs on multiple plays. He made a three, made a midrange jumper, scored in transition, off cuts.

Point being he does everything so he can play anywhere. Just throw him in it doesnt matter. He fills those gaps.

I still hope we can make him into a PG. if he’s gonna become a 4 though, we need to move Pascal

One of Barnes, OG, Pascal need to play the 2

I get that. But you still need to be listed at a position in the starting line up and matched up with someone. So I’m asking the question

It doesn't matter where we play him. He does everything... Maybe after another game people will get it. Hes a TRUE positionless player. Thats the thing.

Obviously hes not Chris Paul at PG or Joel Embiid at Center. But he will always hold his and find ways to make impact plays.

I don't really see how he's gonna be a PG in the NBA especially when we already have FVV and Flynn.
