Re: The 10 college players I was most wrong about

You do realize you cannot even debate this, right? Like Clarkmeister said, "That's nice and all, but the rest of the world uses "guard" to mean "guard." " That simple. Anthony played very few minutes at SG, and you're on drugs if you think the positions are exactly the same, just on different sides of the court.

Assani is right when he says that there is little practical difference between shooting guards and small forwards. They are both "wing" players in most coaches' minds. Kobe, T-Mac, Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, Michael Redd, Maggette, Iguodala, Mike Miller, etc. All these guys can play both the 2 or the 3 but not the 1 or the 4.
With that said, he should probably use the word "wing" when he says "guard".
