The issue at present is there is a choice between the lesser of 2 evils.
DJJ vs THJ. THJ probably provides better ceiling results in theory, while DJJ has a lower ceiling overall with a higher floor defensively, but is worrisome when a bucket is necessary.
THJ can hit some shots on occasion and can do a couple of things defensively better than Christian Wood. But his advantage is theoretical at this point. Maybe, Exum's return allows a balanced player to offset the minutes that DJJ provides. My fear is that DJJ is viewed as a 3 and Exum is the PG leaving all the minutes for THJ behind the 2nd guard of KI/Luka...
I just do not feel comfortable that Kidd will completely cut THJ's minutes even if the rotation availability calls for it.
