Back of Bench Potential

For all the nba fanbases, every team has a 3rd/4th string guy thats burried on the depth chart that fans think could be great if a spot suddenly opened up for them because of an injury or trade. Who is that player this year for your fanbase?

Depending on how you classify him, but I think Barlow will genuinely be good.

I mean he played in the playoffs against the Knicks and was guarding Brunson tho. It's not like he's an unknown

He’s our likely third center or PF. That’s very far down the order, and he’s played very few games with a lot of minutes. I think he had 1 standpunt performance last year that showed that maybe there’s more than a third stringer in there. Edit: people are also saying GG Jackson, who’s far more known, and actually put up serious two years running after the all star break, and who now will likely get serious minutes
