This is not a guy who gets even 20 minutes per game in my opinion. Not in today's NBA. Guys like Tari Eason are probably the future of the center position now. Kessler may be too limited.
Given the talent and quality of good wings in this draft, I would trade for a center and draft a wing.
Who guards the folks I mentioned? We are not GS. They were lucky to have two of the greatest shooters ever and a guy (Green) who fits in perfectly. Even they though have Looney and drafted Wiseman. Maybe Phoenix beats us more easily if they had not over analyzed and fed the ball 30 times to Ayton. When Curry fades a little the next team going on a run might have a big guy as the centerpiece no pun. Stephen Adams gave GS a lot of issues and with a healthy Ja, Memphis probably would have won that series.
We are a team that looks really outclassed on the front line. The fact that we won a lot of games is despite that limitation. Unless you are saying that you feel a given wing can be a true long term differnce maker, I would go with Kessler if he slips.
