Hot take, I think Jourdain is being criminally under used. I'll admit that his offense is a mess right now, but he has been giving us great defensive effort in the paint and on the permitter. Meanwhile, White is averaging an insane 4.2 fouls in just 20 minutes per game.
Seriously, how is White still starting over him? In 20 mins ppg, White is giving us 4.2 PFs, 1.2 points, 4.2 rebs, 2 TOs, 13% on FGs, and 60% at the line. Jourdain in 16 min ppg, is giving us 1.6 PFs, 3.4 points, 2.6 rebs, 1 TO, 38.5% on FGs, and 77.8% at the line. (note: blocks and steals are basically the same). Also don't tell me they play different positions, White is 6-7/205 LBs whereas Jourdain is 6-8/205 LBs.
I'd love to see us start Dunn/Battle/Hicks/Jourdain/Reynolds. I love Miller but there is no way you can justify starting him over Battle at this point. Maybe go smaller and put Miller in over Hicks. I know that is blasphemy given Hicks' potential but too often Hicks just looks like a streaky shooter who is lost on defense.
