That is part of the evolution of the game. They play overly physical basketball so they got a bunch of Anthony masons there and not enough Jokic or Wemby. The guards are pure spot up shooters because it's too messy to drive in. At least thats just my observation watching some of it last year for the first time. So you've got angel Reese's out there who make a living out-physicalling everyone despite entirely lacking any kind of touch.
I think that is changing a lot. There are some dynamic guards including Clark who play fluid, which I think is way easier for the many like me who prefers the men's game. I think fluid is the best way to describe it because its cleaner and quicker movements instead of the herky jerky shit. If the game evolves into more finesse (and I'd have to think a big part of that is calling more fouls) I think you'll see a lot more finesse. It's a big reason why I think college has been popular but hasn't yet broken through yet in the WNBA.
