    Sengun will either learn to defend at an acceptable level and be the center of the future OR it will be Jabari Smith. People keep saying that Smith can play small forward and I just do not see that happening at all.

    for Jabari to have an effective tremble drives game in the future he will need to be attacking Bigs and not wings. Combined that with how effectively he already rebounds defensively, and he has the length inside to contest shots. He also finished inside of a pretty decent percentage considering expectations this year.

    Sengun/Smith/Londale
    Smith/Eason
    Brooks/Eason/Cam
    Green/Porter
    FVV/Mills/Amen

    I’m not really trying to pit them up against one another. Im just pointing out that that (IMO) one of them is going to end up being a great center.

    You’re not but some fans will turn this into a Sengun vs. Jabari death match :D

    I think Jabari is a four who plays five for more defensive ‘switch everything’ lineups, with Tari at the 4. Essentially both can be great at their roles
