2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Ya, this is a pretty good way to look at it. I think in terms of on court impact, Luka/JB vs Luka/SD in a starting role (if JB decides to go elsewhere, let’s not lose sight of JB HAS to sign here even if he is not “the guy”), the drop off is really not that big if there is one at all. The drop off comes when you add Dragic instead of SD on the bench as the 3rd guy. How big of a drop off though? Sometimes big, other times none at all, I would contend. We also should get a vet min/development 4th guy in that scenario, we still have the roster spots to do that.


In that sense, does Toppin enter your radar on that list somewhere? Young promising bigger body wing. Might be able to man the 5 spot in a “smallball” set. I could see that as a possibility where we need a 3rd team to help facilitate. Toppin and our 23 back is a decent snt return, maybe we can extract more?

Toppin is a good one.  I missed him on my added list.  There are probably more guys if I looked a little harder.  

I lean towards the Brunson to Dinwiddie being a fairly big drop off.  Brunson is just so efficient scoring, and I'm not sure he is done getting better.  If he pulls the trigger on more threes its not hard to see him be an efficient 20 points a game scorer.
