Very similar playstyle offensively. Is it because one is 6'1 and the other happens to be 6'6? Both create their 'own' shot and live in the paint. Neither can shoot.
If you were to build out a random regular season game with a 10/11-man rotation and pencil in Naji as the backup PG in this exercise it could look something like this:
Kyrie 32 | Naji 24
Max 24 | Sergio 12
Flagg 36 | Risacher 16
PJW 24 | Morez 20
Gafford 20 | Lively 16 | Aldama 16
DNP-CD: Sasser, Tarik, Cisse, Martin, (Klay)
In this scenario you have Naji on the floor with one of Kyrie or Sergio in all but 4 minutes of the game. You can call Naji the PG or not. Doesn't matter. He essentially functions as one when on the floor here?
