Would you do THJ for Thybulle as a base?

I would but only because i dislike THJ as a winning basketball player. But it feels like THJ is all of the sudden "more" important with Brunson gone, unless you can bring in another shooter (3+D guy hopefully) to replace him. If they can bring on Garry Harris for the T-MLE or Porter. Feels like the most important offensive skill playing with Luka is 3 pt shooting.

While Payton was awesome for Golden State, i think he thrived in Golden State because they are doing a lot of movement/cuts. They had no trouble limiting his offensive problems. Don't think that is going to work as good in a Luka type offense, where catch & shoot is required more. Payton's offense isn't very good, if he needs to shoot more. Similar growing pains a la Josh Green.

Garry Harris is the best choice imo, if you want catch and shoot and defense. He might been able to handle the ball from time to time. And he can nail 3's for days.
