Dakota-Kobe was perfectly fine playing SF. Even though Kobe and EJ have similar games, their styles are fit for the triangle. With rice they may win 2 or 3 titles, but with EJ, Kobe, and Shaq there's a dynasty. Rice is short term thing, while EJ is long term.
gotta agree with RF34 here. mainly because Eddie Jones is one of my top 10 current players. Rice is far from that!!
