I think after this unit finally got consistent time together it is starting to show that the team is actually capable of. Starting 5 with THJ and Brunson from the bench is great. Good on both sides of the court. KP started playing smart without rushing the shots, Richardson perhaps finding his 3pt stroke - although looks like he borrowed it from THJ who forgot how to shoot in last games
But he is still contributing. Defense is honest on him, he is aggresive on both sides of the court.We need one more piece to close the playoff rotation and see where this group can take us. Ideally to replace DFS or Kleber in the starting unit or as a reliable big wing from the bench. Rest of the guys are needed for regular season only and they don't really matter a lot. It is important that this guy is a plus defender either at wing or big wing and that he can shoot from 3. Basically real life realization of the Johnson idea.
The problem remains depth, especially at big wing and center. I guess Burke can adequately jump in if one of the non Luka guards is missing and hopefully Green will develop in time.
