Either all time or current who is a role player that you think would fit into your teams general playstyle/cover any holes?

As a Lakers fan id love to see Davion Mitchell on our squad. I think our biggest weakness rn is having a one on one perimeter gaurd and I also really think he'll make a nice jump offensively this season.

Kcp, caruso, rondo, green backcourt rotation was something special. None of them were superstars, but they all knew their role super well

I’d love another “veteran leader”/locker room guy like Blake Griffin. I’d be happy to overpay him for a year to basically be a player-coach.

Myles Turner or Jalen Suggs. A good POA defender or a stretch big with good defense would make the Lakers so much better

Tyus Jones (again)

[–] plaindaytona@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t need it. We have KD so I really don’t need anything else. Having the most dangerous scorer of the league is literally a cheat already. I’m just playin... I would say KCP.

Luke Kennard

Idk but really any decent centers will suffice probably.

Aaron Gordon

[–] Handyman2116@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Rn, Aaron Gordon would be a perfect fit for the Hawks

Everyone here is crazy. Aaron Gordon is the single best role player in the league right now. He can dunk, he can shoot the three, he can guard just about anyone, and hes humble and willing to hang back to keep defenders honest.

[–] Dangerous_Toe_5482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He’s never been that great without Jokic though. Not sure he’s still the “best” role player without that type playmaking and gravity

[–] ruggnuget@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You mean a guy asked to carry offense and playmake, then switched to a team that required a totally different skillset, so he adapted...and because he wasnt good enough at the other stuff he doesnt need to do now he is overrated?

If he had elite playmaking and gravity he wouldnt be a role player

[–] cuhman1cuhman2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aaron Gordon is amazing. I dont know if I would consider him a roleplayer he was almost an allstar last season and all defense level. If you consider Aaron Gordon a roleplayer though there are some other players who would be up there like Wiggins and OG.

Idk tho always saw "roleplayers" as guys who were the 4th/5th starter or top tier bench guys. I see guys at Gordons level as core pieces.

[–] downinCarolina@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I consider him a role player because he seldom has first touch and he rarely sets up plays yet still plays the perimeter unlike a scoring center.

[–] cuhman1cuhman2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Interesting we define roleplayers differently thats fine.

Gordon's amazing though he really is perfect with Jokic. I like to think of players perfect duo and when I think of Jokic I dont think of a gaurd but id really want a guy like Gordon whos awesome at defending anyone. I think Kg would be an awesome all time guy who is perfect for Jokic. Hed play gordons role on crack

[–] Expert-Pollution8768@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Immanuel Quickley or naz Reid as a nuggets fan

[–] Ode1st@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Since the bubble still, Jerami Grant (and now also OG).

[–] ElectricalBank6411@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Derrick White would be pretty sweet but more “realistically” Malik Monk, who we totally should’ve made the number 1 priority at the SG spot over T-Ro and Bouknight, we’ll never have him back, and I was on that train at the time, just another casual hornets failure

[–] LilBigZay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

OG but if people consider him too good then josh hart

[–] Chickensandcoke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] thathooperhooper@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Marcus smart

[–] tondolliver31@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I see a few AG and Jaden McDaniels comments, so I'll go for something different.

Assuming Lively turns out to be good, I would take Alex Caruso or Derrick White.

[–] jimposter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Luke kennard or jerami grant

[–] penguin_torpedo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bruce Brown :(

[–] JohnLemonnn69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] ReflectionGloomy8851@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can I say Daniel Day Lewis? He plays pretty good roles.

[–] EllieWiz13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kevin Durant

[–] nugginthat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He might not be a role player anymore after this season but Tyus Jones would be great.

[–] djpacheco1003@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Spurs:

Jaden Mcdaniels

PG: Sochan SG: Vassell SF: Mcdaniels PF: Wemby C: Collins

The defense would be ridiculous

[–] robograndpa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] transizzle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve been obsessed with Clint Capela for years

[–] november3891@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Drummond as a big. McConnell for the backcourt.
