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.

    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.

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

        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

      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.

        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.

          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
