The comment made that I responded to was why does it need to be a big wing. Marcus Smart is a DPOY contender, and kind of an anomaly that won't be relevant to most generic discussions about player types. There are always exceptions to every rule, that doesn't mean you don't have a rule. I would take Grant at his height over the majority of 6'4 NBA players who are better defenders than he is because of positional versatility.
Right, but the point of the original discussion is who would you rather have on this team than Grant assuming you were sticking with Wood/Dorian/Luka/Brunson. I think we are all on the same page that it needs to be a defensive wing, but there are guys that I would take over Grant even if they are a little smaller (including many guys in the 6.6 to 6.8 range). There are smaller guys I would prefer as well because they are elite defensively and much better than Grant (guys like Smart and Jrue).
To take the discussion one step further back, I don't think Grant is good enough to burn future picks on, especially since the will be way in the future.
