Couple thoughts. I agree with TMH that MM was one of our best rebounders this year, but that does not mean that he didn’t put our big guys in a bad spot by allowing penetration. He can be a good individual rebounder and still hurt team rebounding the same way a guy who grabs some boards but never boxes out does.
On the JC thing, I just don’t see him as a 3. It seemed to me that he made a concerted effort to attack the basket in the quarters against HC, and we all saw the results. He just does not (currently) have the skills to putt the ball on the floor and drive right now. He loves shooting threes but that doesn’t make him a perimeter player. Kevin Love averages 6.5 3 attempts a game, does anyone think he is a 3? Jesse has the body of a 4, the skills of an interior player, and a decent perimeter shot. That skill set has stretch 4 written all over it. Think Malcolm Miller from HC.
I think most of us agree that two issues this team had offensively were 1) an inability to put the ball on the floor, get to the rim, and finish and 2) poor ball movement. I don’t think moving an interior player to the perimeter will solve either of those issues, and in fact I think it would exacerbate them.
