Ideal roles for the current roster

[Nowitzki Way]

I like this exercise.  I'll rank mine, and when i do i'm keeping in mind what i think they would be for an average playoff team. Not just the Mavs.

As you've outlined, we don't currently have a 3. I'm not sure we have a 4. Big problem here.

Luka - 1 - star player on a championship contender
Kyrie  -2 - Really good 2nd star
Lively - 5-  He's a starting big at 19. Amazing. I think a 23 year old Lively is possibly a 3.

THJ - 7- He can come off anyone's bench and score. I would say he's a 6, but he's too inefficient.
Exum - 7- Bench glue guy on a playoff team. Plays defense, decent size, can drive to the hole. If his shot holds up, he's a 6.  Think Bruce Brown in Denver last year
GWill -8 - He's got playoff experience. He's an agitator. Supposedly had defensive pedigree. He's working his way towards a 9 and not in a playoff rotation.
DJJ - 8 - I think he can come off the bench for a playoff team. But only if his shot reverts back to early season form. If his 3point shot is off, he's out of the rotation

Thats it for playoff rotation guys on this team. I may even have GWill and DJJ too high. Not good.

Green - 9-  His 3 looks good lately. His defense is overrated. Supreme athlete with good court vision, but i need more from him on the offensive
Maxi - 9- Age and injuries catching up to him. If he's healthy he's a 7 or 8.
Seth - 10 - Too small to guard anyone. Shot is not consistent this year
Powell - 10 - Doesnt rebound and cant score without lobs. Unplayable
Hardy - 10 - Not ready
Omax 12- Not ready
