The offense doesn't become so predictable (and easy to defend) compared to having GW and Green out there. It's just a better brand of basketball knowing that you're not going to have 2 stationary players camp out in the corners for the entire possession. I've been begging for a 3-PG lineup for over a year now since they never replaced it when Brunson left. Exum is obviously not on that level but still the closest thing on this roster in terms of skillset.
What two fabulous minimum salaries. Exum is also tied up for another year too. When you have limited draft assets and high salaried stars it can do wonders when you hit on minimum veterans and second round/undrafted guys. Just to fill in those 15 or so minutes.
Hopefully Exum can stay healthy and Jones does not have a prolonged shooting slump as the year goes on.
