Nah, DFS is a 4. It’s where he played for the past few years here, because he has an athletic edge at that position.
If you brought him in to play the 3, you’d think he looked slow, that he didn’t shoot well enough (fewer wide open shots) and would be annoyed that he can’t really handle the ball. Green and THJ are both better handlers and both have a faster release to get shots off quickly (though Green sometimes doesn’t pull the trigger, sadly). At this point, they’re probably both a little better suited to guard the ball, chase guards around screens, etc. Green is, for sure. Finally, in the event you do want to go bigger, which won’t be often the way the game is played today, you can throw Omax out there at the 3 for those stretches.
I would GLADLY take DFS back on this team, he’s one of my all-time favorite Mavs. But, his starting spot is gone. He’s not beating out Williams or Green, and THJ is more valuable off the bench than DFS, imo. If his head was right with the role, he could legitimately compete for 6MOY.
