That would be the way I would go also. Don't know that Kidd sees it that way. And one could argue it'd be Martin over Naji in that scenario. The last two seasons Martin has shot 43% from three on 4.6 attempts per game in the playoffs. I could see that being a bigger weapon to use off the bench than Naji's playmaking.
