I have a feeling people will be surprised how little DJJ will bring to the Clippers, and I'm not remotely someone who wishes DJJ anything but the best. This Mavs team has super elevators on offense (Luka) and defense (Lively/Gafford), probably to an extent people don't quite understand yet IMO.
I had no expectations that DJJ would handle a starting role as well as he did, and feel the same about Marshall. I’m not saying he wouldn’t, but there is not enough evidence to expect it. I would actually have more confidence in Grimes because he has already done it. He was a quality 3&D starter on a playoff team in his second year.
