ROLE WITH THE TEAM

The duo of Patrick Beverley and Avery Bradley will likely be given the nod to occupy starting positions. However, with higher offensively skilled players in Lou Williams, Milos Teodosic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson occupying the bench, he could log limited minutes. While he’s established himself as a satisfactory shooter, the aforementioned players are regarded stronger, more creative pieces in the offensive department.

Nevertheless, the frailties of Milos Teodosic in defensive possessions could see him feature alongside the illustrious Serbian point guard in certain moments. Also, his ability to defend multiple positions furnishes Doc Rivers the alternative to play him as a small ball 3.
