In response to TheLine
The argument is that Caleb is just as good a 3pt shooter and does more for the team. Sam can shoot the rock, no doubt, but he can't do anything else on offense (can't beat anyone off the dribble, can't play in the paint, not particularly a good passer) he is only effective if his guy has to double someone else or we get a defensive rotation lapse because he only shoots a stand still 3. That's a pretty limited skill set on offense. On defense he pursues the ball off the boards effectively so can be helpful but he struggles to stay in front of anyone and isn't physical enough to push a 4/5 off their spot on a switch so he limits the defensive options, regardless of advance metrics.
I am a big Sam Jones fan and would love to see him more but I can definitely see why SD struggles to keep him on the floor for long stretches, particularly vs man defense.
