I like your take on JG3

"JGIII isn’t a great ball handler and has some defensive limitations but he made a lot of nice passes and hit some key shots to get us going"

In a vaccuum hes not always [I]that bad[/I] on d...hes not good though. He cant stop penetration or pressure 3 point shooters well enough.  the other team makes easy entry passses and often gets better looks at 3 with him in.  Still, When he hits shots he can be a net positive...but if he isnt hes usually a net negative. Overall, if you just look at him alone...he seems fine...so a lot of people get upset when I tlk about his defense...

BUT

the kadary-bras-jesse-buddy-forward lineup is actually  A WEAPON that can SHUT TEAMS DOWN.

its more of an opportunity cost in having him out there...the team cant usually reach the weaponized level of defense that they can with the rest of the sqaud...SO that's why I prefer him on the bench.

He brings a lot of good things...made some nice 3s, good passing, tenacity at times...hes got heart and competes pretty well.

But the way I see this team making a deep run is through defense. all of the top 8 have their role and need to play...but i just hope it isnt a case of not using the bench enough at some point as I can see that being a potential pitfall if the team continues to advance.
