I'm really worried about this for two reasons.
Reason #1: Five out offense is superior and Dwight can only hit an open shot when the team is tanking.
Reason #2: Dwight can't defend the perimeter or defend the rim.
I agree with your point on defense.
On offense I think the combo of KP's elite perimeter shooting and DP's elite rim running would impossibly stretch a defense, pulling them both towards and away from the basket, which then opens up all kinds of space for Luka Magic
I just don't feel that Luka, KP, and Dwight will be able to interact in a consistent way on offense, that will involve all 3 of them, that will be worth having him out there over other options.
It will be like Miami with Lebron/Wade/Bosh (not that Dwight is that good) where inevitably, 1 or 2 of them will just be standing there. If someone is going to be standing there, I want them to be able to hit an open jumper, or make up for it on defense.
4 locks are Delon Luka Powell KP...its a 4 man race for 5th player...I think this is where we'll be flexible and have a different 5th starter depending on matchup...
Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...
