Overtime aside, each of the five spots have 3,936 minutes in the regular season (82 x 48). PJ played 2,219 minutes last year. That leaves 1,717 minutes left at backup PF. If you split Naji's 1,254 minutes and split them between SF and PF, that leaves 1,090 minutes (approximately Maxi's minutes last year). Do we really want to keep riding Maxi? IMO it's a hole.
If you are looking at it from a total minutes standpoint, Luka is more than capable of playing the PF spot defensively, especially against second units. There will also be developmental minutes for Omax as well as a lot of garbage minutes where it doesn't matter who is out there. Last season Omax and Morris combined for roughly 550 minutes and I expect Omax to get a lot more this coming season.
