So I guess he's a power forward? Emphasis on POWER.

If he splits his time between playing on the wing and playing in the post, any chance he can win the awards for Small Forward, Power Forward, and Center?

As basketball becomes increasingly positionless, I think it's fair to wonder if these position-specific awards distort reality a bit. Is R.J. Barrett a 2 or a 3? Cam Reddish? Does it matter?

Most All-American and all-conference teams are positionless. For a reason.

Then again, it does create an opportunity for more groups to give more awards to more people.

Never, EVER seen a player who more aptly could be described as a "power" forward. He can handle, and maybe pass and shoot too..... but he'll do it all POWERFULLY, lol.
