Basketball-reference lists Tyrone Wallace’s position as point guard. Is that true? I’ve gotten the strong impression that he’s definitely a shooting guard, but now that I think about it, I don’t know where that impression came from. Probably because of his height and the fact that he doesn’t usually get many assists. I certainly don’t watch Clippers games closely enough to definitely say that he WASN’T playing point guard for stretches of the game.
Usually I take basketball-reference’s position designations with a little bit of salt, especially the part where it estimates how much time at each position a player plays by running some algorithms against the lineups he plays in. So I could be right on this one, I just don’t know if I am or not. I hope so. Wouldn’t it be silly for a guy to make NBA highlight videos but not even know the positions of every player he makes videos for?
