Scouting report

Signature strength

You cannot load up on anybody. Jahsha Bluntt and a lineup full of shooters turn the half court into a track meet of clean looks.

Fatal flaw

The relative unknown is March itself. Marcus Foster is loaded on paper, but the postseason production is the thinnest line on this profile, and the numbers flag it as where the pressure could bite.
