Less of one, for sure, but I think there's still a roster imbalance, yes. My opinion.
For me, step one is to identify the top 6 in the rotation. How many different players can the 6th guy be brought in to replace, and how many differently effective play styles can that create? The goal should be for your top 6 or 7 to all play starter minutes, basically, even when everyone is healthy. To me, those are the teams who learn to play together the fastest and best, and usually do the best in the playoffs.
It really comes down to how they envision Cooper Flagg's role on both ends of the court for me, but the answers are coming soon, hopefully.
