Yeah, that's where a lot of people thought he would be most dangerous, like a guy who could be Kevin Love/Draymond Green off ball, but give him the ball and he is more of a Ben Simmons type who can hit a deep 3.
Where would you play him?

I'd play him at the 3 like a Paul Pierce. Or think of him as being like Joe Ingles only much, much better.

I think him and Harrison Barnes are interchangeable on offense and defense, so calling them a 3 or 4 ultimately doesn't matter that much. He blocked 3 shots tonight.....of course it wasn't NBA competiton...but his body could probably handle bigger 4s better than Barnes. But I basically just think of them as shooting forwards or Doncic could be a point forward. With Jordan in the middle they are not really going to be pounding it inside a lot posting up and stuff. Doncic will initiate and drive to the rim some because that's what he does, but he's good at it, and can finish.
I think the days of thinking of positions (mainly 2-4 or 3/4) as being meaningful as in much of a different role has past us by, yet so many cling onto them. Sure, you do have some traditional 4s, but they usually end up playing 5 these days.

For me as a combo-guard but that might be a bad fit next to DSJ.

Well he is basically a combo guard in a PFs body...like Ben Simmons is a PG in a PFs body.
