- chevron_right Position decides most of this: Shot-Creating Guard is the SG direction, Two-Way Wing is the SF direction. If you already know where you'll play, that usually settles it.
- chevron_right Different modes: Shot-Creating Guard is built for Park, Two-Way Wing for Rec. Rules, spacing, and teammates differ enough that a direction tuned for one rarely transfers 1:1 to the other.
- chevron_right Priorities differ: Shot-Creating Guard leans Shooting + Ball Handling; Two-Way Wing leans Defense + Shooting. Pick the resource shape that matches what you actually do on the court, not the one that looks stronger on paper.
- chevron_right Evidence posture: both directions are pending (confidence: Shot-Creating Guard low, Two-Way Wing medium). Treat exact numbers as evolving until verification lands.
