Lively looked like the future starter we need but another real center to cover 15 or 20 minutes is worth looking into.
I was wanting Yurtseven but he got signed by UTA.
Azabuike may be available he played for Bostons SL team and stats showed he was okay in that role so maybe we could get him for a vet min deal. His rebound rate is exceptional and he has the bulk to bang when matchups with other bigs that have bulk could pose issues for our other centers.
For 10 minutes a night he might allow us to rest guys that need to have their minutes managed so that they are there come play off time.
Powell IMHO is behind Holmes and Kleber at the 5 and if there is a need for a big that is 7' plus due to match up reasons then sticking McGee in there for 5 to 10 minutes is an acceptable risk as far as I am concerned. You stick Holmes in there for 10 and play him another 10 at PF next to a guy like Lively and that to me is a nice look to think about.
Maybe we see minutes getting split up like this
Center
Lively 20
Holmes 10
Kleber 10
Powell 5
McGee 3
PF
OMax 20
Kleber 10
Holmes 10
GW 8
SF
GW 20
Green 20
Exum 8
THJ?
Luka?
