But I would caution saying he will not break into the roster this year. I went back and watched his college highlights and summer league highlights. How he plays should be an easier transition to the NBA than some guy who is being asked to run a team. He would probably be a better fit playing with Kyrie than Luka at this stage. Kyrie allows a more free flowing offense. So maybe you begin him there to give him some run?
On a different matter, I wonder what Dallas does with Green. I think there is a legit case that Green is a bench player and not a starter. Jones Jr has been solid as token 5th starter, and Green has been shaky (for the most part). Jones in all likelihood is a one year placeholder (if that). Green is someone the team hopes to be here moving forward. If Green keeps on having the 3 pt, 6 pt, games, I wonder if they see if starting him helps? He appeared to play better in preseason when he started. This team is much better positioned moving if they can find a role where Green is scoring 10 plus points a game imo.
The role in Luka led offense should be even simpler in theory. His job could simply be limited to stand in the corner and shoot an open three if the opportunity happens. Can't think of an easier role for a guy to start. Than you build from there giving him more freedom on offense.
