PG - Luka

PF - Wood
C -
So what C fills this spot?
I think you need a point of attack defender in that lineup. Dorian's defense improved significantly last season when he had a point of attack defender (Bullock) on the floor with him. I think Din makes more sense as the 6th man and you don't need his offense on the court when you have Luka and Wood (and possibly a third). By next season I think Green is going to make a lot of sense in that spot. I have also come fully around to the understanding that Wood is a center, especially in our switch heavy defense. He is not a great defensive center, but he is a worse defender at the 4 and he needs to be the 5 offensively. If he can become an average defender and we get a legit two way wing with Timmy and some picks next offseason this thing has contention potential.
Starters: Wood/Dorian/Two-way/Green/Luka
Bench: Powell/Maxi/Bullock/Frank/Din
