Josh will be good as a guard off the bench or as a hedge against injury. But, he probably has more value as a trade piece.
It is something I have been thinking about as well. It is a small lineup that will struggle on the boards.
I just think Green is the best player currently. Derrick Jones Jr is not a better rebounder I don't think. He is also not as good with the open 3. It was interesting they had Jones Jr guarding Cade though. Don't mess around with Green. Throw him out there. Maybe he flourishes.
What will be interesting is how they match the Non Luka and the Non Kyrie minutes up. For instance, Luka Powell and Hardaway have good stats together. Maybe they fill that out with Maxi and ?. I will be interesting to see how the pieces fit together.
