    Bruh... Tari Eason is the backup PF. Tate and Jeff Green will get limited situational minutes at most.

    If you believe reports that Jalen Green and Sengun have grown, the only guy we're going to have in the everyday rotation who has below average height for his position is FVV.

    6'11 Jabari should play 30+ minutes
    6'6 Brooks should play 30 minutes
    6'8 Eason should play 25+ minutes
    That leaves less than 11 minutes for Tate and Green

    Sure, there are other permutations. But concerns over midget forwards are probably exaggerated


    Do I wish our front line was all 6'10 and over? Yes. But to say we better get used to small ball in the NBA this season because our SL team rested their 3 tallest players seems to be an overreaction? Especially when the NBA replaced like for like with taller guys in the front line

    Shock, horror. A 22 win team isn't perfectly constructed for the following season. But there is room for significant improvement

    In a perfect world, Tari should at least play 31 minutes for development sake.......but we all know that is not likely.
