There's something to be said for this... you need a go to guy who can create a shot for themselves or for others towards the end of games or as the shot clock/game clock is running low. DSJ can do that of course but having more than one guy who can create helps a lot. Barnes can get off a shot but he looks to be more of a dribble-dribble, pull up guy like Finley used to be.
You bring up another point worth discussing... I don't know the nature of the recovery for what he has, but what if MPJ's back is not good enough for a full recovery this coming year, BUT by year 2 he's all good and back to where he was on track for previously? Philly waiting on Ben Simmons for a year looks like it's worked out pretty well. I'm conflicted about potentially sucking again for a year vs. missing out on a potentially elite level offensive player.
