I also think the "combo guard" term is massively overused and it leads to wishful thinking that anyone can moonlight as a point guard. I bet THJ would be getting the combo guard label too if he were in this draft, but every Mavs fan knows how far that is from the truth.
There is definitely an element to watching conference and NBA finals and thinking Burries looks more like these guys then the other guards.
I think there is more to the Burries combo guard status than what you are making it out to be. He was an elite lead guard in high school, he went to a specific situation where it makes sense he played off ball, and his numbers when playing lead guard are very encouraging. A lot of scouts think he has lead guard upside, and I doubt you were hearing that about THJ.
