SQ6: Small Forward, Whole or Hole?

I see a lot of media bemoaning the dearth of Celtics players to adequately man the three. The heir apparent is Jae Crowder, and the incumbent is “point forward” Evan Turner. Playing up from shooting guard, we have James Young who was for too spindly last year but has added some 15-20 pounds of muscle. I have even seen rookie R. J. Hunter mentioned for time at small forward but not only is he far too slight but why play a natural shooting guard out of position, or force a rookie to learn a second position for which he is less well suited?
