This isn't a natural battle because of position/size/skillset.

It's not really that much of a stretch for him to compete with Roddy and Carter. Other than the last game where he was getting after it, Carter has been pretty mediocre/old looking. Roddy is as inconsistent as any newcomer with talent so I think with Lamar gone you can look less into position battles and more at rotation adjustments to fit guys who bring will bring it and leave it all out on the court.
