2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[KillerLeft]

I think they are missing a legit starting center who can provide rim protection and rebounding.

I would love this, so I'm with you in spirit. 

Where I feel like I diverge from many around here (not sure about you, specifically) is this: I think for the addition of what you describe above to be a positive, it would have to come in the form of a player who can also do what Powell does well. My dude put on a pick-and-roll defending clinic last night. 

I would love to have a player who can do that AND bring the skills you describe above to the table, but there aren't very many of them, frankly. I've seen lots of assumption that Holmes is that guy, and he might be. I'm just not completely sold yet. It's definitely worth a try, I suppose. 

If I had to choose between those two skillsets, I'd do what the Mavericks just did and choose mobility and basketball IQ. I think I'm probably in the minority around here about that, but I just think it's so freaking important these days.
