Preseason Game 4: DET vs. DAL

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

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.

Luka plays the point from the SF spot.  Yes, you can play him with 2 guards (J.Green is 100% guard), but you can expose more matchups by playing him with a guard and a true SF.  Ideally with GWill, you would want a SF/PF.  Ultimately, I see J.Green as a defensive stopping 6th man.
