He would Thrive because he would be given a long leash by Triano and have ample playing time. Also if this team plays more up-tempo that would benefit him. So DeMarr is “Veteran guard”.

Jawai's contract is guaranteed anyways, he still counts against the cap if you release him. He's staying, which is probably the end for Pops. The guy really only had 2 good games.

There you go. Likewise, Rashard Lewis has barely cracked that 10% mark. These two players just aren't prolific rebounders, which makes playing them next to Dwight Howard a good fit.
