Without changes, his offense would be wasted here.

We don't need much scoring from the SF position, just keeping the defense honest so everyone else can score. Ariza nailing wide open jumpers (unlike Aminu) and being a lock down defender on the perimeter would be a huge improvement. Ariza also has enough slashing ability that you wouldn't want to switch a PF onto him so you can put a SF on Ryno. Maybe being the 5th option is somewhat of a waste of Ariza's talent, but that's what's going to happen to any SF that's good enough to make a difference. Now can you get a similar level of performance from a guy like Sefolosha for half the price? That's a valid question.
