Shooting guard has been a key position in NBA history. Many superstars have played that position. Michael Jordan, the best basketball player of all time, was a shooting guard. Recently retired NBA legend Kobe Bryant was a shooting guard.
In a league where shooting has become a critical part of the offense, most elite teams have a star shooting guard who can both attack the basket off the dribble and step out and shoot jumpers effectively.
The Orlando Magic have a young and very talented guard in Evan Fournier, whom they believe can be a highly productive player at the position.
