Don't understand why Larry Bird's base position is PF in 79-80 and 83-84, making him 100% at C instead of SF when the basic personnel on the Celtics did not change.
Again, there really needs to be consistency over the years.
I agree on the specific observation about Bird, but not that players should necessarily have consistent PE rankings throughout their careers. Some bulk up and/or slow down, and their capabilities shift one way or the other. Bird certainly could have played SF full time during those seasons, but as I recall he started at PF because Maxwell was the SF.
