Doesn't especially matter if they don't replace him. Reggie isn't really a complete replacement for the guy Josh was supposed to be. JRich was supposed to be a playmaker, at least to an extent, and Reggie is advertised as another 3&D guy. An important role, and maybe you can't have too many of those players, but the cupboard was not empty on that sort of player.
This may be an unpopular take, but we are approaching a reckoning of whether the issue is with the players we have paired with Luka in the past, or with Luka himself. So far, we have churned thru: DSJ, Seth Curry, Delon Wright, and JRich. DSJ may or may not be an NBA player. Seth definitely is, but was wildly inconsistent here. Delon didn't fit in, even though he has had a solid career. JRich played good D, hit his free throws, and was amazing behind the arc DURING THE PRESEASON, but he failed, too. I am skeptical that Reggie Bullock with outperform the mean here.
