I also think lineups with him and Maxi could be interesting. He is actually a good rim runner, and a surprisingly good shot blocker.
I was just about to comment on the Maxi/DJJ pairing. Jones has one of the best PPP’s as a roll man in the entire league. Playing with a C who can space things makes that pretty valuable.
We will run almost half the game with one of Luka and Kyrie sitting. It feels like lineups for the beginning and end of halves is fairly easy to predict. Much of our depth will be filling in spots in the w/o Luka and w/o Kyrie lineups at the end of the 1st/3rd quarter and beginning of the 2nd/4th quarter.
