JV is a big reason why we don't get blown out and stay close enough to get back into games. Guard/wing level production is higher variance than close to the basket scoring, especially relying on 3's.
Gravity is a term often thrown around. JV puts a lot of pressure on defences, even if his usage isn't always high. And it helps that he occupies a different part of the court than our other guys who can warp a D (Kawhi, Kyle and now Siakam is starting to command that respect at times but still as a face up player a lot of the time).
Shooters can do it too, but we're not getting good enough shooting, whereas last year CJ was playing well enough to help with that kind of effect for the 2nd unit.

He is an absolute monster offensive rebounder with putbacks from 7-footers resulting in ultra-high efficiency scoring close to the basket. It's another reason why FVV is cratering this year trying to anchor the bench. He benefited greatly from Jakob, Siakam and a more consistent CJ. Freddy capitalized on a perfect storm in a contract year and got the lion's share of the credit for last year's bench mob. If anything, Pascal should have got that 6MOTY nomination.
Honestly think that was the reason not to start him as well. I think he could get the same minutes off the bench, put up the same numbers and we would have that energizer bench unit we are missing too often this year.

Anonymous sources with inside information suggest that JV will be back on Thursday against Atlanta.
Can't come soon enough, unless this is just a canary trap to find leakers. Would be a relatively simple way to out unreliable staff members.
