They played well for some stretch without the 5, but it's foolish to play without any size.
This right here. There is no reason for Powell to be on this team. Many of us have been saying this for years.
Now it looks like they feel Holmes is unplayable as well. We have to figure out this backup 5 position. We will continue to be out played in the paint.
Lively looks like a star, but two things will cause us issues for the near future. And maybe his entire career. Injuries and foul trouble. We'll always need to keep a decent back up 5. Preferably one that offers the skills he has in rim running, paint protection, and rebounding. Or a guy who can play some 4 with Lively on the court.
I like a Daniel Gafford type for this role as a 5 only. A few others out there that can play 4/5 minutes.
