Lakers: Weaker position: shooting guard or head coach?

[kobe4life]

With God coming back the SG position is now the strongest in the NBA and its not even close.

[Michael Jordan.]

How about sticking Blake, Love, Ibaka, Aldridge, and Horford in the center pool also?

Like I said, Westbrook and Rose prefer to shoot first than run a team.

C is a solid position nowadays..it isn't like the early 2000s where it was Shaq + a bunch of scrubs..

It's much better than SG, obviously..35-year old Wade, 38-year old Ginobili, Monta Ellis, Klay Thompson, Derozan, etc..just awful, tbh..

Marc Gasol is easily a top 20 player in the league, and much better than any non-Harden SGs..Al Jefferson is a much better player than any non-Harden SG, too..Cousins is far better than any non- Harden SG, as well..

Even players like Noah(although overrated), Horford and Lopez are arguably better than any non-Harden SG, at this point..

Dwight is the best center by default and his mechanics suck. No it's not a solid position.

You can easily make the argument that there are 4 Cs that are top 20 players in the league..I'd say that's absolutely solid..if you include Bosh, who will probably play the majority of his minutes at C this season, that's another one on the list..

Not to mention that there's an abundance of solid role player Cs, too(Chandler, Drummond, Bogut, Asik, Jordan, Splitter, Nene, Gortat)..

The dropped from Dwight to the next guy is still immense.

assuming the positions were equally distributed, you had have 4 from each position in the top 20. by that basic (and obviously not comprehensive) reasoning, center is kinda average right now. shooting guard is the most thin by a significant margin

It's rarely distributed equally in reality, tbh..

true, which is why some positions are stronger and some are weaker. center having 4 guys in the top 20 means its decently distributed, assuming the rankings are accurate. we only have 1 SG in the top 20, which makes it the weakest by a landslide, etc

of course we're only talking about the top 20 in the league as opposed to the 150 starters in the NBA

anthony davis?

anthony davis?

I mean if we are talking Centers. Davis plays PF doesn't he?

I don't know if it's a drop off in ability or talent, or if it's just that none of them are interesting enough to watch.
