It is these guys AND ?????

Right now with J-Rich in this starting lineup, we have a + 10.8 net rating. Obviously the playoffs is where we'll truly see who's who when it matters most. 

This lineup (acording to BBall index lineup data and their metrics) has:

- Great finishing at the rim (Mostly Luka, but KP/DFS also good);
- Good finishing, shot quality and scoring gravity (layups and lobs/open 3's, thank you Luka, in theory everyone eats);
- Bad spacing and penetration (J-Rich/DFS/Luka/KP can all be streaky, 3 out of 5 guys can't handle the ball);
- Terrible playmaking (3 out of 5 guys can't handle the ball or create their own shot);

J-Rich is qualified as a secondary ball handler and I'm pretty sure it's the role this other guy we'll chase in FA will have here. Richardson and Hardaway are by far the worst in their impact metrics (Rich negative on both, THJ positive on O and huge negative on D). In my mind we should renounce both and try to find THAT guy with our money. I'm sure we can find an MLE guy (maybe we already have in Redick) to get the THJ role (20mpg microwave) from the bench.
