Message: [QUOTE="0.2 YNdeeR, post: 4232112, member: 8125"] Agree. The other forward spot opposite Benny is the most acute need. It's not that backup center is unimportant .. given Jesse's tendency to pick up fouls. But we have Carey coming in (limited offense but reportedly a rim protector). His injury is an unknown. At the end of the day, however, it's a backup position. At the forward spot, by contrast, we need a starter (no disrespect to Bunch). There's one scholly open (assuming Chaz remains on a ship). So the ideal solution, IMO, would be to take a 6-9 type forward who could slide over to the 5 in a pinch. Also, since we're trying to make up >27 points lost at forward (Jimmy and Cole), and it's likely that Benny (2.0 ppg) is going to occupy one starting forward spot, whoever we bring for the other position better be a scorer.
