If we look at positions, we can see that this is somewhat of a "small forward" era...

LeBron James
Kevin Durant
Carmello Anthony
Paul George
Kahwi Leonard
Andre Igoudala
Draymond Green

All elite level players and all small forwards.

today's game has a lot of good SF's


Not really, compare with 1988 SF's:

LeBron James<<<<<<<<<<<<< Larry Bird
Kevin Durant>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dominique
Carmello Anthony<<<<<<<<<<< James Worthy
Kahwi Leonard<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Alex English
Andre Igoudala<<<<<<<<<<<<< Adrian Dantley


Btw, Draymond Green is a power forward - he started at power forward ALL YEAR, EVERY SINGLE GAME... look it up in the boxscores, not the player listing.. Basketball-reference made a mistake in his player listing.

Also, Paul George is not the same player post-injury, so he doesn't make any SF list.

And there are plenty more SF's from 1988 including Chris Mullin, Bernard King, Reggie Lewis
.

Not really, compare with 1990 SF's:

LeBron James<<<<<<<<<<<<< Larry Bird
Kevin Durant>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dominique
Carmello Anthony<<<<<<<<<<< Pippen
Kahwi Leonard<<<<<<<<<<<<<< James Worthy
Andre Igoudala<<<<<<<<<<<<< Adrian Dantley


Btw, Draymond Green is a power forward - he started at power forward ALL YEAR, EVERY SINGLE GAME... look it up in the boxscores, not the player listing.. Basketball-reference made a mistake in his player listing.

And there are plenty more SF's from 1989 including Chris Mullin, Bernard King, Alex English, Reggie Lewis, Dennis Rodman
So you say Draymond Green isn't a SF but then say Dennis Rodman is an SF..

Save your expressions until you've done your homework.

Now that you've butchered it, just sit tight and learn about the game:

On January 23rd 1990, Rodman permanently took over the starting SF spot from Mark Aguirre.

The starting frontcourt was Rodman, Laimbeer, and James Edwards for the remainder of the 1990 RS and playoffs, as well as the entire 1991 RS and playoffs.

Dennis Rodman's back-to-back DPOY awards in 1990 and 1991 came at SF, contrary to popular belief.

Lebron > Bird (This should at worst be an equal), and I would take Melo over Worthy (Worthy was the perfect no.2 option for me with his skillset, but as a no1 option I would much rather have Melo)

Dennis Rodman was originally a SF that got moved to PF

Draymond Green has always been a PF
