He won’t get the shine because of Hali but I think he could end up being as good as anyone we had post Mark Jackson till Hali

      I think he’s a good enough combo guard and defender that you should consider 1-3. Not saying he would play the 3, but if someone has a guard who can play down a position, he could play the 1 or 2.

      Either way, he’d start on multiple other NBA teams already. There’s a case that he should start over Benn right now. I’m not saying that case should be made or that it’s correct, but there’s an argument to be made for that based solely on his ability to be a secondary playmaker and perimeter defender.
