1) If Thompson is ideally a center (at least defensively), then why would he be a PF in an ideal lineup? Because of lack of SG?
2) Not sure if this is correct but Verbal Commits has Green listed as 6-7, not 6-10.

Thanks man.

I see Thompson as a tweener. I don't think he's big enough to be a center (although I LOVE that he's bulking up), but that's what his skill set is best for. He didn't look very good on the wing of the zone last season, so I'd rather he be in the middle. But at the same time, we lose a size advantage when he isn't on the wing. I'm curious as to what Murphy does with him.

My mistake on Green. Don't know where I saw that he was 6'9-6'10. Even at 6'7, he still has a rim protecting PF skill set and body. Thick, athletic kid.

I think we can all agree that our optimal lineup will include Bond, Jackson, Thompson, and Minnie. We have plenty of versatile options for the 5th guy.
