Just wanted to no what everyones opinion would be as to where I should put larry ar the 3 or the 4?
Definitely the 3.
Definitely the 4.
How so?
If it was early to mid 80's Bird, I would say play him at the three ... but at that point in his career (89-90), I feel better about him defensively playing the four spot.
I also like the idea of the team using a four out one in offense and taking advantage of Larry's shooting + passing ability to create great floor spacing for everyone else.
I'm not sure I'd like the idea of a 32/33 year old Larry Bird defending the likes of some of the PFs that have already been drafted here. That's a lot of wear & tear on a body that was already pretty susceptible to injury at that point in his career.
Hmm ... the more I think about this the more uncertain I am of which position I'd like to see Larry play.
Very worried about Larry's defense at both positions. His man-to-man defense and his general quickness in team defense. Bird is going to limit that team's defense considerably. Too much offensive talent on these rival teams to hide a player on a regular basis. Against the odd team here and there, sure, but across the board? No.
(1) A power lineup with Larry at the three
(2) A quick floor spacing lineup with Larry at the four
I'll change my initial answer and say choose Larry's position based on the talent available at the other positions. Make Larry's position the secondary decision.
