I feel like it's impossible to know for sure if a guy will succeed or not here. I got tangled up in some weird stats and numbers. We clearly need a guy that can on-ball defend and force turnovers. We also run a system based on 3-pt shooting. Maxi (86% of 3-pt shots wide open, hitting 39% of those), DFS (80% of 3-pt shots wide open, hitting 40% of those) are all products of playing with Luka. KP and THJ also benefit a lot, but they are locks in the S5. Here are some guys with a good open/wide-open percentage (37% or higher) and volume (2.0 attempts or higher), that can defend (or at least force turnovers) and could be obtainable to start or backup that SF/PF void for next season:
- 2020 FA: J. Jackson (23 - MEM), Holiday (31 - IND), Saric (26 - RFA - PHO), KCP (27 - PO - LAL).
- Realistical trade targets for Wright/Jackson/picks that don't mess with the 2021 cap: Johnson (33 - MIN), Dieng (30 - MEM), Oubre (24 - PHO), Young (31 - CHI), Green (33 - LAL).
