The contest between Miami Heat and Team World center Hassan Whiteside, and Philadelphia 76ers and Team Africa center Joel Embiid, may turn out to be one of the highlights of the 2018 NBA Africa game, on Saturday August 4 in South Africa.
As the game of basketball has evolved, players have added more skills to their traditional roles, in order to have an advantage over whomever is facing off against them.
So, from the emergence of the point-forward, we have seen the development of the stretch four, and the center who can shoot. Players in those positions who possess these 'new' qualities will always be seen as the elite, and will have a better rating in match-ups.
