where was it I said those PF's were inferior? I never said anything remotely like that what I did say is that the NBA has changed dramatically in the last 10-15 years. It used to be that there were the traditional 5 floor positions, and that was still generally the case back in Aldridge's prime with a few teams employing a "stretch-4" at times, and a couple of teams doing it full time now, generally, the NBA has moved from that traditional PG-SG-SF-PF-C to PG-W(ings)-C. And quite a few of the C's these days would have been PF's 10-15 years ago. Guys like AD, Adebayo, Holmgren, Looney, Wemby, Myles Turner. I'll check at ESPN while I'm writing this post: in the 2010-11 season, only 4 C's attempted more than 0.5 three's a game. Four. And those 4 included Matt Bonner (not a C; he averaged 3 reb and 0.3 blks for his career); Bargnani; Boris Diaw (not a C); and Brad Miller. Last season, 15 C's averaged more than 0.5 three's attempted. In 2010-11, the median number of three's attempted by NBA teams was 17.7; this season it's 36.9 all that's not to say I like this trend. I'm kind of inclined to agree with Popovich that the 3-point line has ended up doing more harm than good anyway, back to Ayton and Clingan starting together: it would be fucking stupid, IMO, but so much about the Blazers is stupid these days I guess it doesn't matter much
