None of the above, and that's kind of my point.
I am a one big guy. Would LOVE a bigg-ish 4 in the mix (bigger than DFS), but imho he must CLEARLY be a forward. I was really into Jerami Grant last off-season, for context.
If I HAD to choose one of those three to play the four on defense, I would choose Powell, and I'm saying that with a straight face. I do think Noel represents a TREMENDOUS improvement on defense at CENTER over Porzingis.
All of this is only my opinion, but I pay attention to who actually stays useful in the playoffs, and I FEEL like size, in the traditional "size of the bigs" sort of way is a completely antiquated measuring stick. Size will ALWAYS be important, but these days the arms race is for ALL players on the floor to have good size, to me. Wings and Forwards are the things, imo.
