you are now seeing positionless basketball. The result of that is really poor two point game. Not every team can shoot 3 pointers all the time and survive. Look at the Celtics and Knicks. It is almost painful to watch them. They can't score on a two point offense if their lives depended on it. They don't have the shooters to only have three pointers as the only way they can score.
This is the result of no one playing either the low post or the high post. You can get repeatable two point scoring off of either post but you have to play a "position"
Jokic and the Greek freak are not point guards even though they want to be. Probably the most sound offense today is the Suns with Ayton playing center and Paul playing the point.
