Young isn't even a SF, that's like saying Monta is a better PG than Felton. Batum had a great start to the season but fell off later. He's not better than Gallo. Neither are Gay and Parsons.

Is Melo an SF?

Young has been playing PF ever since he came into the league. He spent some time as a SF, but he's still primarily a PF.

41% from the field on the season, 37% in the last month. 5 boards per game.

If it wasn't for the threes and free throws, statistically Gallo could be argued as one the worst starting SF's in the league.

That's the only thing keeping him around top 10.

There really isn't any metric to support Gallo is anything other than average.

Young is an SF on any roster with a serviceable PF in place. Batum is on the fringe of being a 5 assist 6 rebound SF...definition of all around. Parsons you could debate and Gay this season is debatable but career wise...Gay is definitely better imo.

The fact that he is good at both 3's and getting to the line is what makes him unusual.

That's just not true. Go look at his minute distribution per position on 82games.com. He was a PF in every season.

You're right he is unusal. :lol:

Usually players have a higher fg%, when they are pretty good in those two areas.

If it wasn't for the points and assists, Chris Paul could be argued as one of the worst starting PG's in the league.

That's just not true. Go look at his minute distribution per position on 82games.com. He was a PF in every season.

6ers GM Ed Stefanski said on Thursday that Thaddeus Young will likely open the season at small forward, but should also find minutes at power forward throughout the season.
"Thad has been working very hard this summer on his [ball-handling]," Stefanski said. "But only in the preseason can we see how that translates to games. Also, he can play [power forward] at times when Elton Brand is getting a break. And don't forget that, especially in the East, sometimes Elton will be able to play some at center." Translation: the 76ers realize the importance of developing Young, and will find a way to play him close to 30 minutes per game

But dont believe the GM.

Stefanski can say anything he wants, numbers prove him wrong.

Nah, you said he plays PF, he wasn't doing that if Brand was.

By your logic is melo a PF as well?

Rasho Brezec · Post #556 » by **Rasho Brezec** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 8:07 pm

Min represents the percentage of the team's total minutes the player was at that position.

Code: Select all

        SF - PF

07-08: 7 - 31
08-09: 22 - 42
09-10: 16 - 37
10-11: 15 - 36
11-12: 0 - 67
12-13: 0 - 62

Why are you still arguing he's a SF?

Numbers prove that Philly should have added a real PF years ago...nothing else. The plan wasn't to have Young as their starting PF and I'm pretty sure it still isn't.

Rasho, are you claiming that "you are what you play"?

I hope not.

He plays like a PF and his minutes reflect that.

He doesn't play like a PF, but is handling playing out of position decently.

How many PF's average nearly 2 steals and no blocks?
