The main thing to remember is that "bench player" is not an insult. At least not if you aim at a ring. Harden is a bench player, and he's waaaay better than DD.
JJ would be a great SF backup, and I'm not talking about 2011/12 JJ, I'm thinking of what he'll become in the next 2 years.
He's definitely part of the contending plan, but this draft has at least 2 if not more SFs that have a higher ceiling than him. Of course, they could be busts, but what's the risk ? The other top prospects are PFs, where we already have starter/backup covered.
That's a safe bet to take.
