What I really want to see is how Poole reacts to being a PG. If he can develop that skill set to the degree that CJ McCollum has in New Orleans, it makes him more valuable. Of course that would mean staggering him with Tyus because Tyus doesn't really have the off ball skillset that even Monte Morris did (Delon can play off ball if we keep him so we can still do the JP at PG experiment).
Yeah, I've mentioned this before as well. Things make a lot more sense if Poole plays the PG minutes while Jones rests. It will help Poole from a developmental perspective, and it frees up minutes for our young wings (Kispert, Coulibaly, Davis) to get more minutes at SG. Poole can start, go to the bench early (with Kispert replacing him) and then run PG for the 2nd unit when Jones comes out.
I'd probably have Avdija mimic Poole's rotation so that he is always on the floor to serve as a co-point guard to help take the load off of Poole. So basically, Poole and Avdija come out early (replaced by Kispert and Coulibaly) and then they both come in to play with the bench unit (replacing Jones and Kuzma).
