I'll make my case. Many (perhaps most) will disagree with it, and there are no doubt exceptions to this rule. Still this is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
If I have a tall kid, unless he has bona fide, full-fledged guard skills, I do not want him playing on the perimeter on offense. I want him down underneath. My reason for this is simple. Three-point shooters are a dime a dozen; big men are scarce. If I have a big man I want him acting like a big man and not trying to steal a job from some poor little guy. So what if the big guy can shoot three-pointers. Almost everyone can do that these days. What a lot of people cannot do is to play down low. I can find a truckload of players who can shoot three-pointers, but quality big men are scarce as hen's teeth, relatively speaking, so if I have any of them, I want them doing what big men do, which is something I cannot find on every street corner.
