In fact, I haven't run the numbers, but on paper a THJ for Vezenkov swap might be the right deal to improve the team and retain DJJ
He's 6'9 with a shot but can play more of a SG role so he won't take up developmental minutes from OMax.
Since Monk is most likely leaving, Sacramento is going to need a microwave bench scorer and THJ could be that on paper.
But he isn't your typical stand in the corner and wait for the ball guy. That's what the Kings did and he wasn't better than the average NBA 3&D guy in that role. If you want to get the best version of Vezenkov on your team you have to use him like Duncan Robinson or Klay Thompson. Off ball screens, split action and some pick and pop.
That's how Vezenkov earned his reputation in europe. As a shooter/cutter that never stops moving. Leading his team in scoring in an off ball role.
Would love to see some of that on the Mavs but I don't see a fit in the current iso heavy/stagnant offense.
