MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[Jason Terry]

I thought he made an interesting point about DJJ's point scored in catch and shoot situations (or some such).  Note it wasn't catch and shoot shots.  It was situations.  In other words, when you add his ability/knack for getting to the hole efficiently in these scenarios to his very average outside shot, then DJJ becomes more acceptable in the corner.  That ability to drive and score in these situations is all the more impressive when you think that he's not really beating bad closeouts (because no one is really trying to close out on him).

I think it was Iztok that said he was our best POA defender. I think Exum looked every bit as good. I have Green right behind them, but a better shooter so the clear first option. On nights when Green is having trouble staying in front of a certain guard or nights when we feature the Maxi small ball lineup i see Jones Jr playing important minutes 

If Jones were to get hot from 3 around playoff time he could cement himself in the playoff 8 

Luka
Kyrie
Green
PJ
Lively
Maxi
Exum because dribbling and perimeter defense suddenly becomes important and who else can dribble?

DJJ
THJ
Gafford
These 3 will all play, but they’re specialty players and could have an increased or decreased role depending on matchups. DJJ has the ideal makeup for playoffs if he can shoot
