What is Draymond's reach vs JJ's? I know JJ is similar size but Green just seems longer and more disruptive

I'd would absolutely love Green and JJ playing together. They'd be able to guard and score on any SF/PF combo out there. Imagine a player using a screen to get JJ off him only to find Green has switched onto him. That's only the defensive side. Green can stretch the floor while JJ goes inside, so they'd be very similar offensively to the JJ/PP combo people want to see (myself included).

Green has such a different skill set than JJ, they're only similar in size, really.
I've wondered about using JJ as a point-forward 4 ex. how Kidd used Pierce in Brooklyn (or LeBron in Miami - don't laugh and don't take the comparison too far). Theoretically JJ has the handles and passing ability for the role, not sure he can ever develop the decision-making needed. It would be an interesting role to try with the second unit.
But yeah, the Raps need him to help with perimeter defense."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

I think you may be overestimating JJ's court vision and distributing. I don't see him creating a ton of buckets - for himself or others."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Hope you're wrong.

However, my concern is this: you put him at the 4 and the most likely result is that other teams stay big, he's got a PF on him, and he'll lose the advantage that he has now in posting up smaller players. However, if you go small, put him at the four along-side a floor-spacing big at center, that could work.
The J.J. / P.P. combo just makes so much sense. Patterson pulls the PF out to the perimeter, and Johnson goes to work against the SF in the post. If the defense collapses, pass it out to Patterson for the wide open 3.
Offensively he is useless >20 feet from the rim anyways, so why slot him as a wing player? Why not use him on the low block on switches/miss-matches. And since he is so quick with great hands, having him run a high PnR he will be able to destroy. Or you could just give him the ball at the high post and he could face-up and isolate from the FT line against slower PF's. Would lead to many dump off passes to JV, and kickout passes to the corner for Ross*
*which he is still good at, we just never use him there)

It also was extremely effective last week in the first half of a game....can't remember who it was against. But it was very good.
