I don't see huge value in this, and I think it's very possible for people to game for unintended consequences. Since there is no longer (I believe) a penalty for playing a player "out of position", why re-position him? I played a guy in the NT that had 12 PF's, and he made the sweet sixteen plus, what's the benefit of changing a listed position?
This is mainly to make it easier for a coach to keep track of where you have guys slotted. For example, maybe you end up with 5 PGs, but you actually play 2 of them strictly at SG. It's nicer to see those players listed correctly at SG.
If coaches used this feature honestly, then it would actually improve the awards process, as it would compare players at the correct position.
