    Bane has been part of some good Defenses.

    Bane actually fits that team really well, they just paid a heavy price.

    They have a good amount of "solid" role players. They need Banchero and/or Wagner to take another big step, and it would help a lot if Jonathan Isaac can stay healthy and be a difference maker. Their center rotation is tricky - Carter, Goga, and Moe Wagner (when healthy) are all fine players, but don't really excel at anything (except Wagner is a pretty good scorer at the 5). Isaac is a rim protector if healthy, but that's hard to count on. They could use a better rebounder/shotblocker in that mix -- someone like Capela would've been a great fit in that starting 5.

    My initial gut reaction was what a crazy thread…….but when you look at that team on paper it has a sneaky Indiana feel to it……but they don’t have a KD and a Udoker!

    If they are playing 6 guys in their 2nd unit, they really really should do well...

    Rule change: If you have a 11-man rotation, you can play 6 guys on the floor at some point of the game.
