So, if both put on the open market side by side, my guess is JO would "go faster", "bring more in return" or otherwise "pass" Dirk.
You may or may not be right about that, but I can only respond by saying that I think it would be a mistake for any GM to pass on Dirk in favor of JO. As for operating inside, if you're talking offensively, I'll take Dirk over JO any day of the week. Here are their stats for this year:

.........jump shot efg%...............inside fg%
Dirk.......46.9%..............................65.4 %
JO.........37.8%..............................58.9 %
