If you add a 3D wing, Jackson's minutes will get cut (or he'll be gone) and probably, maybe Maxi's as well.
If you add a starting center, Powell becomes your backup C, and Maxi steps into the backup PF & de facto small ball four when he plays with KP. Can Kleber defend an explosive wing when opponents go small?
If you add a starting guard, the Powell/Kleber center rotation is intact, so THJ probably becomes the extra wing on the floor when opponents go small.
Yeah, really good points. My thought (which I don't think the team agrees with) would be that the 3&D 3/4 would start along with Luka/(SG)/DFS/KP, between DFS and KP, and that Powell and Maxi would be the bench 4/5 together. But I'm open to the possibility that the team's idea that the Luka/Powell/KP grouping is more powerful offensively due to Powell's toward the basket gravity than adding that extra 3&D wing.
