And as much as my perception has turned around on JB, he might be a starter on certain teams but I don't think he's a championship cornerstone short of being a super sixth man. If you could use your 22 pick + THJ for Grant, here's your squad:
Starters: Luka, DFS, KP, Grant, Kemba
Bench: Maxi, Robinson (can start when KP is hurt), Power or Bullock (whoever doesn't get dumped), Chriss, Strerling, Josh, Dragic (pickup?)
You'd need to resign Robinson in the offseason. But once draft has passed, you are right back to having a full set of FRPs again.
That lineup doesn't really do it for me. Kemba defense is so bad now (significantly worse than Brunson) I'm not sure you can put him in the starting lineup. Grant is not a great floor stretcher, and his offensive game is based on (fairly inefficient) volume (his usage has been upper 20s last two years). Don't see that being a great fit with Luka. That lineup has a lot of mouths to feed and not enough defense.
