A second shooting guard.
This is why we use the term wing today. Wing means off-ball perimeter player.
That covers the shooting guard and the small forward, and in some lineups such as the one we used in 2011, also includes a third guy that might normally fit into the power forward spot.
The traditional lineup of pg-sg-sf-pf-c has not been applicable in college basketball for over 20 years. There are two reasons for this.
1. The convergence of the shooting guard and small forward positions into a common wing role as I explain.
2. The general lack of traditional centers and even power forwards in the modern game. Some teams play with two power forwards because they don’t have a real center. Some teams play with a point guard, three wings, and then either a power forward or a center. Some teams will still play with a center and a power forward, but usually that situation is a power forward that is now what we call a stretch-4.
The best way to describe the stretch-4 is that they are kind of what the small forward was in the old days.
It is hard to have this discussion with Fiji, because he gets so hung up on semantics in the old-fashioned way of doing things
