What are some common mistaken beliefs about player positions?

[DC23]

I’m wondering a couple of things. First of all, who is a player you feel plays well or poorly in a certain position (especially if you have stats to back it up), but which other people commonly disagree about? As an example, take Vucevic. He actually seems to play good defense, but I hear people say all the time that he doesn’t.

Second thing I’m wondering is, are there commonly held beliefs about player positions in general which you think people get wrong altogether?
