Where will this rotation be in 5-10 years?
Allen - Anonymity and happiness in Europe.
Bolden - The Hakeem Olajuwon of Australia/New Zealand pro basketball.
Giles - Revered by advanced stats people on an NBA title contender, perhaps off the bench. Outstanding net on/off splits. Provides excellent off ball and on ball rim protection. Takes only 65% shots around the rim. Dominant rebounder.
Jackson - What JWill's career would have been, but smarter in terms of shot selection and even more explosive around the rim.
Jefferson - No idea. Maybe getting a Ph.D. in something that benefits society.
Jones - Coaching. Or winning multiple titles as a 45-50% clutch 3pt shooter with the Spurs.
Kennard - Might just be a typical white American no-defense flameout at guard (Jimmer, Stauskas), might improve his weaknesses and become a more versatile Redick. Probably has a place on any NBA playoff contender as a 40% 3pt shooter off the bench, if his shot translates.
Tatum - Can go in two different directions: (1) never develops reliable NBA 3pt range, absolute ceiling is young Grant Hill or Dwyane Wade, who are extremely rare exceptions to every modern rule, most likely comp in this scenario would be something like Jabari Parker with more defense and health; (2) develops NBA 3pt range and goes to a franchise/coach who hates midrange jumpers and stupidity in general (i.e., anywhere but the Kings), raises realistic ceiling to MVP version of Kawhi Leonard. (Spoiler: He will go the Kings.)
