One thing to add to both our points, we have no true SF even. Sure Bullock, Green, and THJ can fill in, but they are at best tweener SG/SF. Looking at our rebounding numbers last year, we need some rebounding from the 3 spot, which they don't give us. Luka you can say functions as a forward, so we need a backup there. All that said, we're missing an entire frontcourt except for Luka & Maxi.
That brings me to Maxi... our only true forward other than Luka who is ready now to contribute on a championship team. Maxi is a great switching defender, the best perimeter defender we have... at 6'-10". He's also a clutch 3pt shooter as he showed in our WCF run. The bad? He's a terrible rebounder. His rebounding numbers are more of a SF, which is probably a wash with Luka being such a rebounding stud. The ugly, he's a 25mins/game player. So out of the entire ready to contribute to a championship team frontcourt, we have 25mins covered. The fugly? He played only 37 games last year.
Conclusion: Without overtime, we need about 4K minutes from all 3 frontcourt positions. Luka played 34mins in 66 games. Maxi played 25mins in 37 games.
SF: need 4K minutes. Luka gave us 2.2k. Need 1.8k. Green, Bullock, and THJ can take care of that.
PF: need 4k minutes. Maxi gave us 0.9k. Need 3.1k.
C: need 4k minutes.
Do y'all not see the H-U-G-E hole here?
Let's go best care scenario, Gawd owed us a favor.
Lively is Mark Williams. 19mins in 43 games. 0.8k mins.
OMax is Jae Crowder. 17mins in 78 games. 1.3k mins.
Holmes turns back the clock 2 years. 24mins in 45 games. 1.0k mins.
SF: Covered.
PF: OMax 1.3k mins. 50% of Holmes 0.5k mins. Still need 1.3k minutes.
C: Lively 0.8k mins, 50% of Holmes 0.5k mins. Still need 2.7k minutes.
