I think Isaac knows basketball, but doesn't think detail-oriented debates like this one are important. I think these types of things just roll past him.
Nick, I think, is not very knowledgeable about basketball at all. Like, most of the people here get it more than he does, imho.
I would have to hear the context of them using that term, but Hardaway is a wing to me. Definitely more on the off-guard side of the spectrum, but definitely not a point guard, and definitely not a guy who can play 4. I think there's a little confusion right now around Hardaway because of the state of the current roster. Do they view him as the 3rd guard, in rotation with Luka and Dinwiddie? If so, then yes, they need another wing to rotate with DFS/Bullock. I think most of us see him in the DFS/Bulock rotation and think another guard is needed more, and there are probably some who think Hardaway doesn't fit anywhere and the roster needs one of BOTH.
It is kind of a "know it when you see it" thing for me, as you say. When it comes to Kleber...he never faces up and floors the ball, is constantly being used as a screener on offense, even when there's another big on the floor (leading me to believe he's playing the 4 only when they're using a multi-big lineup). It's a combination of things - there's no one thing that defines my view.
And I could be totally wrong, so there's that.
