then unless you feel Powell, Kleber or Johnson is good enough (I like them all) then THAT’s the hole.

I’m no analytics guru but after looking at some stats on NBA.com, I think KillerLeft makes a good point.  Looking at last years numbers with 2 players (Porzingis & either Powell or Kleber) and 5 player lineups with Poezingis and either Powell or Kleber as bigs, it seemed to me that pre injury Powell was clearly the better fit with Porzingis.  If that is the case, then 4 is probably the biggest need.  I would also add that Finley-Smith as the 4 was uncommon and there is likely a good reason for that.
