Lauri, Maxi, KP: stretch guys
Powell would be the only rim roller
That's a fair point and valid criticism behind the idea. However is it not out of this realm to think Lauri could learn to be a roller? I mean screen setting/rolling is a fundamental skill and isn't necessarily hard. It just takes time. I wonder how an offseason/training camp focusing on that would do for Lauri.
Further I don't think Lauri and KP would play all that much together due to overlapping skillsets (though KP does like the 5 so who knows?). A more realistic partner would be Maxi. And Maxi does know how to set screens and roll. So Lauri would basically be replacing Maxi on offense as a stretch 4 and I don't see how that's a negative given that Lauri is an elite shooter (defense be damned).
