Size and Shooting: Marcus Kell
Over the last decade or so, basketball has really transitioned into a perimeter-oriented game—especially at the highest level. No other era (coaches, players, and fans alike) would be able to cope with the thought that Jahlil Okafor can barely find minutes while Davis Bertans just signed a 5-year/$80 million deal.

With the direction basketball has shifted over the last decade, traditional point guards are becoming something of a dying breed.
