Loads of people will disagree, but to me, that guy is a 4. I would straight up rather just bet on DFS to take another step if we're thinking of OPJ as a 3.
Now, I have altered my thinking today, in part because of how Richardson has looked, and in part because of the prize coming off the board. I said during the off-season that I wouldn't be in favor of THJ for OPJ under any circumstances. With Richardson here, and my willingness to bet on DFS moving forward, I would now be in favor of consolidating THJ/Powell into OPJ.
I like Luka/Richardson/DFS/OPJ/KP a lot, and there are others I'd look into for that spot, too.
I'm ok if the move ends up being THJ/DFS for a 3, too (I think Kleber can be a long term starter here at the 4), but I don't think OPJ is that guy. Just my opinion.
I am for a move that moves DFS to the 3. I don't view OPJ as a fulltime 4. He can be a smallball 4, or even a 4 with a big C (like WCS). But as a plan, I don't like him next to KP as your primetime 4. He does a lot of things at a high level - rebounding is not his strength.
