I'm late to this thread, but I have a couple of reactions:
"Why do we have so many centers?" - I could see the calculus being Kawhi is out for a year, and the reigning MVP is a 7 foot center in Denver, and we need to be able to throw a lot of bodies at him this year. I love KP, but Jokic torched him last season.
"Will we start a traditional center?" - Ok, perhaps, but let's take it a step further and ask "will traditional centers get a lot of minutes this year." I can see Kidd seeing the value in Powell as he makes Luka's job a lot easier. I bet Kidd would love to run more, and WCS would be a great dimension to that sort of game - who knows if Doncic decides to run this year (I am skeptical). Boban is here to sell BFF t-shirts. Moses is probably a Jokic gamble matchup. I bet the top 5 minutes guys this year are Doncic, DFS, KP, THJ, and Jalen.
