The wing position is mostly considered to be a small forward who can play shooting guard and/or power forward in certain lineups. It is considered the most important position in the NBA, as teams with an influx of them or with the top players at the position are always near the top of the NBA standings by season's end.

They have an assortment of young, talented players they believe can fill their missing element(s), but growing pains are likely in store for them to propel them into championship contention.
