@"Dundalis" makes a good point.
In my view, "play your own way and make others adjust" is what they're doing already, especially on offense.
They have a style of play in mind - we can all easily see that. It's working, only they're not good enough yet.
I don't think a guy like Drummond/Adams is what they're looking for. I know that grinds some people's gears, but I'm glad. Length is awesome, and should absolutely be high on the list of goals, but not at the expense of requisite skill. There was a time when half this board wanted to play Dirk at the 3 (lololololol). Thankfully, the Mavs figured that one out, and I think they've already figured out that KP is a 5, too (as would Dirk, today).
I agree that finding a front-court starter to play WITH KP and DFS is pretty high on the priority list. It's either priority 1 or 2, depending on who the player is.
