1. Start Josh Green. This will help Josh be better and put DJJ as a longer defender in the second unit.
2. Wait for Maxi to be healthy.
3. THJ Pump and Dump. Pump is going well so far. Will our front office be able to execute the dump? This has to yield us a big PF/SF type.
4. OMax development.
5. A backup C who can rebound and defend.
Im going to wade into uncomfortable territory as I might get ridiculed for this comment...
I was briefly looking at Drummond vs McGee stats last night...admittedly I didnt dive into advanced stats or anything as I dont know what I am looking at....but is Drummond a far superior player than Javale currently? Javale has played less game and a few less minutes...but Drummond basically has him in rebounds which we need. My point is...Drummond's name gets flashed around here currently...posters claiming we sniffed around him last year as a trade target...is Javale and Drummond all that different? Are they completely two different types of players? Because I just see them as old, unmodern NBA Centers with similar size. Is Drummond that much more elite at fetching rebounds and to some extent lobs that he is worth pursuing? Because we just got over a failed experiment with McGee...who I actually think makes players adjust their shot in the paint. His advanced stats might say he sucks, everyone here hated him...but is Drummond that far in front of him that it is worth pursuing?
