you can improve and develop as a position player
If a player somehow becomes a great position player first they will not develop as a pure shot-maker. However, you can improve and develop as a position player after becoming an accurate shot-maker.
As far as competition is concerned, it can be intimidating to face a pure shot-maker.....against a position specialist you usually just have to cut down on mistakes.
The true challenge is maintaining both skills at a high level, this requires some 14.1 (straight pool) practice. imho
