Jimmy is ideally a 2. Still, he plays the best defense out of all of our SG and SF options, so JVG has him in there. Fact is, we don't have any SFs that can match up to the rest of the league as well as JJax does. Boki's still on his learning curve, Padgett seems a step too slow to guard 3s (but he should be guarding the Nowitzki's and Gasol's who like the perimeter). JJ is basically our only viable option.
Again, we could have kept James Posey, who is bigger and younger than JJ, for 4.5 mil. per year. JP is shooting 48% from the floor (40%+ from 3s) and the second leading scorer on the Grizz, who BTW are 2 games ahead of the Rockets.
