Finney-Smith at the SF, Improvement in Rebounding

[BigDirk41]

DFS is good, but not great nor amazing. He is not a championship level starter. Where it comes down to is simply lack of multitude of offensive skills. He fits Luka scheme and all of that, fantastic value and teamplayer, able to contribute two ways, and physical. But when it comes down to WCF, the difference in his offensive skills to those of the opponent is going to make the difference. Its really irrespective where he plays. We need more players with offensive bbIQ to make things run smooth. If we cant score, we just cant come back on defense and defend, and we have seen that against GSW. We need better players than DFS to go all the way. Wiggins is clearly a far better player for instance.

I couldn't possibly disagree with you anymore. DFS is an absolutely great role player that is the glue to the defense and is a good shooter. He can even attack the basket now. He is absolutely a starter on a championship level team. He was not the problem versus Golden State. He's not a star player, but you definitely need a energy/defensive/shooter like him in the starting lineup to win a championship. I don't understand your thinking on this at all. I'm not against upgrading DFS if possible, but he's not the problem.
