Basically, the title.
Centers and Forwards are naturally bigger.
But for guards, PG was traditionally considered to be smaller than SG.
But the trend is going in reverse now?
Look at the top SGs now.
Only Booker is 6’5-6’6. Others are way below 6’5.
Mitchell, Ant, Kyrie, Maxey, White, Beal, Jalen Green, etc are all 6’3 (or 6’4ish) or below players.
Why do you think SG can get away from being relatively shorter and smaller?
While for PG, it is a huge advantage if you are over 6’5 PG like Luka and SGA. And they are top pgs now.
But for SG, 4 out of 5 SGs are still under 6’5. Why?
What do you think?
SG is a position that relies on supreme athleticism, all those guys you listed are either top 1 percentile explosive athletes and/or are some of the most agile players in basketball. They just don’t need to be positionally huge guys. Players like Kyrie or Ant are gonna leverage their athleticism and ball handling skills to get to their spots regardless of how big their defenders area
