He'd be filling in for DFS on the offensive side and while that doesn't make much sense at first, all DFS does is sit out by the 3pt line and consistently miss wide open 3s. Teams leave him alone because he can't put the ball on the floor. AG meanwhile is much more talented. So much so in my mind that teams wouldn't be able to leave him there at all and doing so would create many holes.
A kickout from Luka could result in a lethal dunk from AG if given the space. All he needs is a runway and it's a takeoff for a poster. AG can stretch it a little bit too, so he can even shoot the 3 like DFS. AG also is talented enough to put the ball down and create, which is something we're sorely missing from DFS.
On the defensive end, AG leaves some to be desired but theoretically both Maxi and him are quick agile bigs that can hang on the perimeter. Rare qualities that would actually transform the Mavs on defense imo.
DFS is best suited in a bench role with the 2nd unit. Donnie should aim to make that happen without giving up the core of Luka/KP/Maxi/Brunson/THJ
I really can't get over how absolutely awful DFS is. He's now getting the full Michael Kidd Gilcrist treatment when teams just leave him wide open for even corner threes and dare the Mavs swing it to him.
I think people are just absolutely so desperate for a 3D wing that they'll let you get away with kind of "looking" like one, even if you're absolutely bad at basketball while doing it.
