4. Ideally, what position do they play?
1. Contending? No idea. I think they could be very good with Hardaway in the position, provided the group gets enough experience together. Dinwiddie, too, would be a candidate I suppose, now that KW is in the mix (if we believe he can hold up). I think he's much worse than Hardaway on defense and in the mid-range, however. And obviously not as comfortable as a catch and shoot guy, despite the percentages to this point. Dinwiddie is obviously way better at getting to and scoring from the paint and his on-ball agency has me liking him more as an overqualified 6th man than a just barely qualified 2nd scorer with the starters.
2. Probably, yes. I think it needs to be an offensive player (two-way, but the offensive part can't be catch and shoot) and that costs.
3. Gettable for improvement? Sure. Contention? Idk...see #2 for my take.
4. Off guard, but able to guard point would be great. A true, modern 4 would also be great (Grant, Kuzma, Siakim body type) but I worry that DFS back at full-time 3 wouldn't be the boon we hope. Undersized 4 might actually be his best position. I'm not sure of that, but it has crossed my mind plenty.
