This is why in my mind we're lacking a swing PF/C to backup PJ. You can't rely on Maxi. Zach Collins would be perfect, but I doubt SAS would make him available given his synergy with Wimby.
I'm guessing Din/Exum (offense/defense) will be the primary backups to Luka/Kyrie (with the ideal of keeping two creators on the floor). Both Naji and Grimes can backup Klay trading offense for defense.
Why do we need to backup PJ with a center? Last season we used DJJ at backup 4 (especially when Maxi was out). Naji is more suited to defend the 4 than DJJ is. Who is these backup 4s we are worried about?
