This must give nightmares to AJ fans, because this is the only position he feels comfortable on court.

Right now he is not strong enough to play the #5

That leaves the #4..
And there goes JMax and Dyess.

There are no minutes available for AJ at this time.

1. He needs to continue to improve his man to man defense which he is already doing.

2. He needs to continue to get stronger.

If he can bulk up over the summer, he will get minutes at the #5 next year. That is what they are grooming him for.

Maxey at the #4....his natural position.
AJ at the #5...I doubt this will ever happen.
Tay at the #3????... Until JD makes a move to open this position, you will have no youth development. Not JD's personality. Trade the youth and move on.

That is the future... It may arrive, in part, within a month.
