Basketball is becoming positionless. Ben Simmons is a 6-foot-10 point guard without a jumper, P.J. Tucker is a 6-foot-6 backup center for the Houston Rockets who spends the majority of his time on the perimeter, and good luck trying to define what Giannis Antetokounmpo is. So, why then, is it important to determine Toronto Raptors’ big-man Chris Boucher‘s future position?
Well, the answer comes down to versatility. Simmons, Tucker, Antetokounmpo, can all do a variety of things for their team, making them incredibly valuable and malleable to shift into multiple roles.
