Every team needs a true PG whether that is your star like Jalen Brunson or just a kid that can get you 15-20 mpg like Malik Boothe. This positionless stuff is good when it works but it also can make things a mess when you've got your center launching threes and your smallest players rebounding. Combo guards like Ponds and Dixon need to play at least part time with a true PG.
For all of his faults, Norm understood this.
