It won’t take very long for the league to gameplan a bit differently, or DJJ will score 15 ppg.
I just want to caution folks that he’s not a “wing” on offense, really. He’s going to be ignored by the defense if he isn’t actively involved as a screener or cutter. His main competition for minutes, weirdly, is probably Powell/Holmes. Put him at the 4 with Kleber (or even Grant Williams) at the 5, and he’ll fit in pretty damn well.
I see what you’re saying and can see that being his most likely and best fit, I just think that sweet spot is a staple in our offense. I’m just hoping we can capitalize on that type of poor gameplanning (if the number holds).
