I expected that to be a complete disaster. He has done surprisingly well defensively in that capacity to the point that I would probably lump him in the Bullock bucket.This is about exactly how I see it. I will say, when Maxi is fresh at the beginning of the year though, he's kindof a monster on D being able to guard the perimeter AND the basket. I so want to find a lower minute role for him here. I would absolutely LOVE to get back to those MK/DP/JJB years of bench domination!
Honestly, I look at the Maxi, Powell and Bullock similarly. All are quality rotation players that are maybe stretched just a little thin right now due to necessity. Next year with some big help (preferably a starting center) and Green taking the next step will allow all three to settle in to more comfortable fitting roles.
