Stewart almost never gets guarded. You can cite his shooting stats all you want, he still kills our offense by not drawing defense; meaning the opponent is always double teaming the ball.
Fontecchio is a pretty darn good small forward. I don't think he has been around enough for fans to find any fault – other than he is not a power forward.
THJ was a big part of a very successful rotation last year. So, he has to be considered for our rotation.
Indeed, here is a rotation based on having success last season:
Start Cade, Beasley, Fontecchio, Harris, Reed.
Note, Fontecchio fits the bill, as Utah, in the month or so before trading away Fontecchio, was a plus 500 team.
bench is Sasser, Ivey, Holland, Thompson, Duren.
THJ would be the 11th man, taking minutes from Holland or Thompson to get more floor spacing.
Also, probably a bit too dramatic, since no way we are not starting Cade, but actually Beasley could start at point, as he played point for Milwaukee. Giving Beasley, THJ, Tech, Harris, Reed as the starting unit. Then the bench would be Sasser at point, Ivey, Cade at small forward, Thompson, Duren. Holland would be the 11th man, perhaps coming in as the first sub to shore up the defense for the starters.
Left out of all this: Stewart, Moore Jr, Jenkins, Klintman.
Most overrated is Tobi but I also want to mention Beasley here: if he was any goddamn good he would have gotten a real contract (MLE+ money for 3+ years) at some point, and he hasn't.
Most underrated is definitely Stew, at least from what I've seen.
