Nah, teams definitely still use positions, only their definition / role has changed.

Of course, its EXTREMELY easy to say the game shouldn't have any positions, without giving any alternate suggestion on how the AI would then determine LINEUPS (an ESSENTIAL facet) with any sense of consistency.

Also, 2K does a terrible job at representing player OVR ratings because of the stupid attribute weighting at each position. I wrote about it 2 years ago.

They have since fixed it.

So-called NBA analysts criticized Houston when the Rockets decided to "go small" because they didn't have a "traditional center" in their rotation. Covington can protect the rim well enough to cover for the rim protection that most "traditional centers" offer... so what if he's not 6'10" or taller? Most teams don't have a large, powerful, low-post threat who can punish them for that anyway.

The Rockets are 6-5 since the trade, and those losses have been nothing short of embarrassing. A wee bit early to declare death to positions...

D'Antoni played Boris Diaw at center 14 years ago, this is not a new development.
His system is the exception, NOT the rule.
