    And we thought it was weird to have a 6’5 center (PJ). Now a 6’4 center!

    I was about to say the same thing. People here were pissed when we ran PJ Tucker out there daily. Most people probalby forgot Tate was even on the team.

    Tate is a servicable player but he's offensively so limited it hurts the team. We can't afford to have more than 1 nonshooter in any of our 5s. I guess he can play 5 occasionally but i don't want him to take others' spot. He shouldn't get more than 15 minutes.

    I have said before that he is our Marcus Smart under Udoka, a all-around player.

    CF's: Smallball is DEAD, Tate isn't getting any minutes he's short and can't short, that's a broken player mold, Ime isn't dumb like Silas he's bringing winning basketball back!!!

    We got Dillon who is a better version of Tate . He will be moved at the trade deadline

    This is how we'll get the FVV/Tari/Brooks/Tate/Jabari "defensive juggernaut" of a lineup on the floor in final possession, defensive situations.

    Tate could play small ball 5 if the other team is playing it with a J Grant/Nance Jr type in small situational spurts, or like end of the first half with all bigs in foul trouble type situations

    Tate would be 5th on the depth chart behind Sengun, Landale, Bari and uncle Jeff. Probably drops to the 12th or 13th man by the time the rotations are set. Good Insurance if we have injuries.

    If you had Dort, 6'3 Center. The 6 footers are waiting in line.

    Lmao, he is the least player looking for numbers, you could tell from Dillon that he is crossing the line with shooting too much.

    Not with Ja'Sean.

    Rockets downward trajectory of center height--
    Chuckwagon 6'6"
    Tucker 6'5"
    Tate 6'4"

    Who will be our first 6'3" center?

    I dont think Ime is starting Tate at C.
    Selected moments is my guess.
