The reality is to defend that lineup best, JV should be off the floor with Siakam in at the 5. There is somewhat of an advantage in having him there to post-up, but it's not that huge because a post-up in and of itself isn't exactly a hyper-efficient play.
Where JV can keep himself on the floor despite the defensive problems is by dominating the offensive glass. That's what Steven Adams did in the 2016 playoffs. If he's giving the team 2nd or even 3rd chances consistently, then it actually becomes a positive to have him out there instead of a negative.
