There must be at least twenty players listed out of position here, makes it unnecessarily hard

Please tell me what they are. I got the positions directly from ESPN. Maybe they made mistakes...

As said before, some weird positions but it is not always easy to fix a position to a player.

Just to mention some of them, you could switch LaVine and Satoransky (even if Satoransky as a SG is ok). I would say Wendell Carter Jr is more as Center, same thing for Towns. R.J. Barrett and Landry Shamet are maybe SG, John Collins is PF and for this game Justise Winslow was a PG but he also often plays SF.

Maybe you could also change Cody Zeller’s row as he is a center but not the last row on the Hornets’s block

For the positions, I suggest you look at the one written on https://www.basketball-reference.com, I think it’s better than the one on ESPN 😊

Okay, I went and changed all the positions to those listed on basketball-reference. Honestly, there were only a couple differences...
