Which means we still need 2 starters (or 3 if we were to replace THJ). Those 2 really need to be able to play hard nosed defense while not being a slouch on offense.
I agree with this. Those are all good bench players who can all spot start. This won't ever be a platoon situation, so Curry comes in for THJ first and then THJ comes back to play with Brunson (the goal being to separate Brunson and Curry without starting Curry).
As to position, someone among the starting 5 has to cover AD/Kahwi (while not being a slouch on offense)...or at least try.
THJ is not a shot creator, so the other one has to have some ability to do that. Not throwing out realistic names here, but younger Beverley, Jrue or Oladipo types for the second position (can play on or off the ball on "O"). As to the larger spot, Gordon and Morris are good names. A younger version of Milsap. Covington. Both of these prototypes are quite coveted right now.
