What I am affraid of "bench" THJ is, that he is much worse (looking at efficiency) than "starter" THJ next to Luka (and Kyrie). I think Hardy or Curry might not be just cheaper but also actually better in that role, where a bit of creation is required. THJ is just bad when he is asked to create something. I think his efficiency really drops in this case. I think the bench role, meaning only one of the stars is playing, requires some creation next to them. Unless again the plan would be to play THJ next to either Curry or Hardy and one of the stars. But defense would again be awful in this case.
