I think THJ's (lack of) defense defines him as a sixth man.
Things aren't as bad if we trade KP before the season. Then you've created a situation in which you can have three plus defenders in the starting lineup, and perhaps Luka and THJ could be good enough with effort to prevent untenable defensive bleeding. But as is, unless we're going to fire Kidd before the season and hire Mike Dan Tony, then THJ is a sixth man. Axiomatic or whatever you wanna call it.
