I believe i had a somewhat lengthy discussion with laz on the subject but both are needed to take into consideration.
People definitely underestimate (or are unaware/don't understand the significance)the value of multiple (bordering on excessive) reps required for muscle memory and fluidity in live situations.
With all players drafted, there's going to be a learning curve. When you ask players to switch positions, it typically increases although there are some freaks who just pick it up effortlessly. This is not the norm and struggles should be expected. The extent of those struggles, what they are specifically, and the frequency that they occur are also varied and differ from person to person. This isn't even taking into account other variables such as coaching personnel, philosophies/schemes/principles, etc.
