Why aren’t more 7 footers playing like Chet Holmgren and Wembenyama (alien.top)

I know it sounds kinda silly but I don’t undergsgandd why tall players like Mitchell Robinson and Nic Claxton are dedicating time working on rebounds and post moves in middle school and highschool instead of just training like a guard. They would be unstoppable if they just put the wolf into doing dribble moves and shooting instead of other stuff. What are your thoughts on this?

We shall see if they have longevity. It advances the game and looks pretty sure, but with big bodies, doing that in the long run can break the body down. It might not be that good for them to be playing like guards as they get older year by year, time will tell how this will all age. Maybe big men just shooting Js and rebounding and staying down low could be the good thing
