9. Doug McDermott
I have to preface that I am a huge Dougie fan. I want to see him get more minutes and get into the game more, but at this point in the season, he is one of the least important players on the roster. If he is out, then Jimmy Butler will move over to the 3-spot more while Dunleavy sits and they will run a 3-guard set.
Dunleavy still doesn’t look fully comfortable on the court at this time, but he will get there. He just needs to let it fly when he gets a chance. He needs to get his shots. That is his game and he has to feel confident in letting them fly.
On the other hand, Dunleavy looks a lot more comfortable in the offense this season and is letting it rip.
