That is assuming he plays defense near DJJ level. I think that is big assumption

I don’t know if that is the best series to make your point, since the whole entire driving force of the Boston offense is to manipulate matchups and attack whomever they want. Like Jones, that would not have been Grant.

Now, if you’re wondering whether or not a Mavs team without Jones makes it past SGA or Edwards, sure. 

I for sure want them to re-sign Jones. But Grant would be a very, very good defender here. He is a legit two-way player just waiting for a contender to come grab him, imo. 1 pick, 2 picks, 1 pick+Green or O-Max, whatever. I doubt they will ever get a shot at a guy that good who fits that well that cheaply. There is definitely some risk involved, given his contract.
