Do you agree that we need to improve our pick and roll game offensively with a hard rim runner who can also play high level front court defense?  If so do you have some names that you think would fit in the MLE or via trade?  I'm all for other options it just feels like he jumps off the page as the best player that fits that mold and is available.  Also, I think your Christian Wood comparison is kind of what people are hoping for...a big man who has obviously figured it out going into his prime who gets put in a situation to showcase that fact.

I didn't watch enough of Holmes to really say he is the best available or not. But the Guys on the SacTown board see him as a very good pick&roll/D energy player, but not much more.

We need that. But we need playmaking/ballhandling/production more.

If we get that, we will get by with adding someone like Theis, Baynes, Birch, Portis, Len maybe even WCS again, if he learns how to catch a pass.

Please share other viable options that meet these two criteria:

1) ELITE pick and roll man (at least 70th percentile, 1.20 PPP....RH is 86th percentile, 1.35 PPP). NOTE: Only Adebayo and Jarrett Allen are better than RH this year with high pick and roll usage.

2) A switchable big man who can move his feet effectively on the perimeter.

Birch, Powell fit that, WCS is at 69,5%.
