I have said for two years the real unicorn is finding that perfect PF next to KP. They are so rare. That player needs to be able to defend on the perimeter but also be a factor defending the rim. He needs to be tough and be able to rebound. He needs to be smart with a good bball IQ who can also pass. And he needs to be a threat from the three point line. That is a lot to ask for, but to me it is the key to having Luka and KP work. Think young Al Horford. Xavier Tillman I thought could be a mini version of this prior to the draft. Ideally this would be one player. But they are so rare, you may need to have two guys. Mavs clearly lack this imo.These are the skills I see in Turner. I also believe WCJ is the new Al Horford of the league, he just wasn’t unlocked in CHI. I’ve made plenty of posts about getting one of the two here sometimes with KP, other times without. With WCJ being moved at the TDL, wonder if we tried to get in on that at all. Getting that package they sent to ORL might look a bit better for us right now. MAYBE not on the court this year, but it would be pretty amazing for the future with an expiring OPJ this offseason.
KP would have matched Lavine’s timeline for CHI as well so it could have been good for them too!
