TJD wouldn't be a bad choice.
6'9" works against most teams and he can play 4/5. Only really Jokic destroys you with size. Embiid for all his hype, doesn't really abuse guys with height and weight and there are no Shaqs.
The bad news? He's 23. He's a few months younger than Luka and he's yet to play a year in the league. He also can't spread the floor to abuse slow bigs like Kleber did to Gobert.
The good news? He's a worker and a learner. Every year he's gotten better. Sometimes guys are drafted at 18 for their potential and they stay the same player. TJD is someone like Brunson that has that pro energy.
