BillDeRozan is not as overqualified as that, but it is a good, I think, thing for this point of his career, I

Mahoneywould say. I think it was a great thing for two seasons ago, probably. Like, if you think about DeMar coming off of his Chicago Bulls run, if he would have gone straight into a six -man role with a contending team, that would have been perfect. He's still very good. But he's still, look, he's still very qualified to do all of the DeMar stuff as far as like one -on -one moves, manufacturing tough shots in space.

MahoneyYou're going to be hard -pressed to find any bench player who's as good at that stuff as he is. But is he going to be able to fit into the movement of Denver's offense? Do they even want him to fit into the movement of Denver's offense?

MahoneyAnd is he going to be capable of, you know, say like Jamal Murray misses a significant amount of time, which he last season accepted is ought to do. Likely, he probably will. Like, is that a good second pillar to counterbalance this stuff off of Jokic? Like, that might be too much to ask of him at this point.

BillMaybe they should, maybe we got to figure out a name for this type of player because the season is so long and guys miss so many chunks that you need these extra guys who can carry the offense. Basically, the best version of what Peyton Watson did last year for them when they had all those injuries.

BillAnd he's like, all right, I'll drive the car. 20 a game for a week. And then did a really good job for two weeks. But there's a lot of guys in the league who can do that now.
