Listen, if 6'3" SG Lu Dort is the hill you are going to die on trying to prove evolution of the game, you lost the debate before it even started.
Not only did the NBA have overall bigger SGs than Dort in the past (Like 6'6" Jim Jackson below), but guys who were FAR more skilled.

Nobody said that Dort isn't rugged, or that he isn't a great athlete.
But don't be ridiculous. Dort is not proof of anything.
And if you think Dort is an evolved athlete for the NBA, you don't know the history of the game.
So stop it with the BS.

Clyde Drexler was a 6'7" SG that was far more versatile, a better overall athlete (better footwork, higher leaper, better body control/coordination, etc), and was FAR MORE skilled as a player (do I even need to say that?)
Stacey Augmon was a 6'8" SG who was more versatile, a better overall athlete, longer wingspan, with more overall skill as an offensive player.
Steve Smith was a 6'7" SG who not only had 4 inches on Dort, but BLOWS HIM AWAY from a skill standpoint.
Latrell Sprewell was a 6'5" SG who was a better ALL AROUND athlete, and a FAR MORE skilled player overall.
Dan Majerle was a 6'6" SG who was a great defender, ripped/rugged himself, and a far more skilled basketball player overall.
Mitch Richmond was a 6'5" SG who was a great athlete himself, and far more skilled offensively.
Michael Jordan was a 6'6" SG
I don't need to say anything else.

Gerald Wilkins was a 6'6" SG who was a great overall athlete himself, with better scoring talent.
Nick Anderson was a 6'6" SG who was a great overall athlete himself, with more scoring talent.
