62gator has the right of it. You have to be a pretty special player to get chosen in the first round as a pure guard, and the fact that Torrence is even in that discussion demonstrates just how good a player he is. Teams are increasingly drafting based on positional value and the resulting salaries -- this is one of the reasons you often see Bijan Robinson mocked in the mid-20's, even though everyone acknowledges how special a talent he is.
