Seems like we're getting closer to eye-to-eye so I don't want to argue needlessly, but I want to clarify the above.
When I use "prototypical" is this conversation, I mean in the new way, as in as far from "traditional" as possible, almost. Yes, the league has been moving (and frankly, I'd say "has moved"...past tense) away from the old prototypes. But, I think the "positionless basketball" mentality was only a bridge to get from the last era to this one, wherein I actually think there are pretty clear, established norms right in front of us.
DFS is way, WAY more prototypical at the 4 (now), imo, than someone I'd call "traditional"...like Dirk, for example. You might not have been suggesting anything to the contrary, I just want to make sure my take was clear.
