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.
re: Luka, yes we all know he is a PF/SF defensively. That doesn't eat into the PF minutes; it's just de facto.
You have much higher hopes for Omax than I, but same theory stands. If he becomes an NBA rotation piece level player I see him more as a big SF, like OG or Tari.
Issue here is that Maxi is spent.
