2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

Outside of Luka:

-KP should be a starter, even with all of his ups and downs.
-THJ could go either way as a starter or super 6th man.
-DFS is probably a rotational guy on most teams.  I think most teams will have one of these guys in a starting role due to necessity.
-Maxi is a lesser DFS
-Bullock we hope is a better DFS.
-Brown we hope is smaller version of DFS.
-Powell should be a rotational player and never start.
-WCS is much like Powell.
-Boban should not play.
-Burke should not play.
-Green is not ready to play.

I look at it this way:

Luka: Superstar
KP: #3 starter
THJ: #4 starter
DFS: 4/5 starter
Bullock: #5 starter
Maxi: Quality rotational player
Brunson: Quality rotational Player
Powell: Quality rotational Player (when fully healthy)
Brown: hopefully quality rotational player
WCS: Ok rotational player

This team really needs a #2, needs a secondary playmaker, and even if KP gets back to form is going to struggle with defense starting Luka and THJ.  You can see why they were willing to overpay Lowry.  He would have addressed just about every hole (assuming he doesn't fall off a cliff).  Even just adding a 2 way number 3 that can handle the ball would have been a big help (I think we should have pushed harder for Ball).

This was our last chance to get that #2/3 player until we get access to a bunch of our firsts.  I know there were not a lot of options out there, but I'm bummed we are basically just running it back.
