I think they want a lead guard who can shoot and isn't going to dominate the ball. A guy who helps spread the floor, can be relied on for ball security, can do some playmaking and can get his own when necessary.

The shooting is a big part of it:

-JJ finished at 32-33% from 3 after going 1-18 the first 7 games (5.5%). Then finished 43-118 his last 25 games (36.4%). This suggests to me that he is a mid 30's+ shooter and could improve a couple ticks on that next year.
-Bell shot 42% from 3 when teams schemed against him and knew what he was out there to do.
-Dakota shot 36.5% last year while transitioning to PG and 38% the previous year.

Combining those 3 together by itself should yield better quality shots and better results. Then our new PF Donnie is also capable enough to have to be covered at the 3pt line and our new center Eddie is a legitimate post threat. I think the staff is looking to establish the post which forces the defense to chose to defend one on one or give up a shot or driving lane if they want to help.

As mentioned above this also doesn't mess with the 2025 plan either.
