re: Jrue's Plan

Please - and this goes for everyone - Can we stop with positions? Like... let's never, ever mention them. Let's only talk about skill sets.
Jrue is a secondary ball handler and creator. He can play next to another secondary or a primary. Yes, his spot up 3-pt shooting is below average, which means it probably would not be wise playing him with another poor spot up shooter (like a Rubio) and you need at least one of your bigs to be a stretch, if not both, so he can cut into the lane when he is off ball or post up.
Skill set wise, I don't hate Darren Collison next to him, though I wish he were bigger. He can only defend the opponents smallest player. Patrick Beverly intrigues me. IN the draft, I love White next to him. Van Vleet, D. Russell, Shamet would all be good fits in an AD trade.

I just don't believe or support this belief. Basketball has evolved over years into the game it is. It will continue to evolve and positions will change, bleed into another. But it is still a game of levels and tiers, where certain size and physical attributes are magnified. There are outliers and physical freaks, that can play multiple positions at the highest level. But that doesn't change the basic elements of the game.
So I'm going to keep referring to player positions or where they best fit, plus how they fit with each other. Sorry..
