TT at the 5 for long stretches would kill us.  I've said previously that if this happens, the team is in serious trouble, imo.

With our zone, the Center is much more important as a rim protector than he is as a scorer.  Sidibe can hopefully catch lobs and dump offs for dunks, and that should be enough.  If TT is on the court at PF with Battle at SG, that's more scoring between those two than a lot of teams will have between their best 3 scorers.  So it's almost like those two make up for a non-offensive Center.  I realize we're having this discussion not knowing if Tucker will come.  If he comes, we'd both probably agree the offense is set and can sacrifice scoring at the 5 easily.  But I think even without him, the benefits of a near 7 footer and 7+ footer hanging out at the rim on defense will outweigh their downside on offense.

Assuming no Tucker, TT at Center could demolish the defense while only helping the offense to whatever extent Brisset/Moyer are better than Sidibe/Chukwu.
