But yeah Green doesn't feel like the problem sizewise with that starting lineup. We need someone who can guard the guards anyway, especially speedy point guards. And just from a current roster construction standpoint and from a future team building standpoint, going the DJJ route makes little sense to me. On a one year deal and if he breaks out at all then we will not be re-signing him. Shifting Green to the bench muddies that guard water even more and leaves Tim as the only other consistent shooter off the bench who would for sure be in the rotation.
We absolutely had issues with Brunson's size no matter how good he was, and I was in the pay him 30 mil a year camp. Doesn't make a flaw any less a flaw.
As others have mentioned, Green is more of a guard and plays like one. So you have three guards, an undersized pf in Grant and Lively. I'm fine if they roll with it, but DJJ plays bigger than he is IMO.
Again, Green's problem is not whether he starts or not. Green's problem is he doesn't play well with Luka.
