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?
I think the defensive matchups would better dictate the first guard off the bench. I really like Grimes in that role, even with only one distributor on the floor.
Z.Collins plays way more PF than C. He's a good defender and a really good 3pt shooter. He's not a switching defender, but other than that a great stretch big in the rotation. This wouldn't be replacing DJJ, it'd be replacing Maxi.
