Yeah.. with other Bigs like PJ, Biz + 2 rookies.. we might need to either sign a FA center (Ian Mahinmi?)
OR we could play a heavy amount of small-ball...

PG: Graham - Ball
SG: Rozier - Monk
SF: Hayward - Martin
PF: Bridges - McD
C: PJ - Biz

I mean that is probably a stronger scoring lineup.. 5 shooters.. gotta help PJ down low - but it's impossible to be worse than Zeller..
but we will probably do the "veteran move" and play it safe...

PG: Graham - Ball
SG: Rozier - Monk
SF: Hayward - Bridges - Martin
PF: PJ - Bridges - McD
C: Biz - PJ

I hate playing small ball and having our young guys that have no business playing inside getting bullied by legit NBA big men. We get killed on the boards and defensively. Small ball is stupid but looks like that's what we are going to rely on until we decide to get some bodies that can bang around down low. Borrego's idea of positionless basketball doesn't work.  We have a surplus of back court players. We need to use that to find a center or its going to be one ugly season. No way we should have been that bad against the shitty cavs.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By strato · Posted

      Lol. Yeah. First of all, some people here had it in for him because they wanted McConkey. They were down on him from the start. As soon as he falls short they got their knives out. Don’t y’all deny it.   But he has given them ammunition with his miscues, good lord not making that catch in Philedelphia for the TD got him fried.    I think some of that got nasty because Bryce defenders need to place blame elsewhere. Talk down about his weapons. There is just bias against him from different factions. Different quarters.    He isn’t helping himself much either, there was no real redemption on the field. Not of the magnitude he needed to produce. At the same time he has for sure been open and I ha en’t seen them use him the way I thought they were going to. So I don’t know what to think think about it really.    My thing is, we have a HC and OC that has their foundation built on WR coaching. That morphed into QB coaching and whispering, if you will. But these fugers know WRs, supposedly. I don’t know how much they have worked with him. I don’t know how much extra he has put in either. I do suspect Bryce Young has gotten most of their attention and they haven’t put XL as a priority project.    Young needed the attention, I get that. I’d like to see them take him on as a real priority before giving up on him. Where we are now is he got his notice that he isn’t good enough. Need to see if that got through to him, maybe he bears down and focuses.  Or maybe he can’t. I can’t defend his shitty play but I do see flashes of a guy that could be an asset and I would just like the staff to take one good last swing at bringing it out of him before they give up.

      @MHS831I liked your thinking  historically: ILB, S and TE are positions not heavily emphasized in the draft. If you could sign starters at each of those positions it would leave round one open to BPA which would hopefully be an edge, OT or to contradict myself ILB too
