Amir is NOT, I repeat, NOT, a small forward. Everything about his game is PF. He doesn't have an offensive game outside of 5 feet, and he's not being utilized if he's hanging around the perimeter defensively.
This has nothing to do with me "not knowing how good JMAX is". It's about need. AJ is our best backup PF. He should be playing more minutes. The reason he is not is because Max deserves minutes as well, and you can't really play those 2 together against many of the teams in the league without being quite undersized.
It's pretty simple to me. Off the bench we have 2 good young PF's (neither of which are suited to play other positions at the moment), and ZERO small forwards. Swap Max for a player with equal impact @ SF, and you've got yourself a much more balanced team. AJ plays more minutes and we get a legit SF for a change.
