Pretty decent stat line. FG% is a bit low but Rubio should help that. He still looks like a pure center to me, though.

Considering he played 6 games in 7 days, usually at PF, he did pretty well

I said a long time ago when we had this discussion that I don't see why he can't play PF for some good stretches, certainly against a lot of rosters.

Re: Gorgui's potential at PF?
The way this offseason is shaping up, it doesn't look like there's going to be much of a choice. Looks like Anthony Bennett would be our starting PF if this trade goes through? This team will be fun to watch, but won't be winning to many games this year. On the bright side, we'll probably have a shot at Karl Towns, Porzingis, Cliff Alexander, Okafor in next year's draft.

Swift was never a good rebounder to begin with and Dieng is a better passer.

Samuel Dalembert?
I agree with the consensus, play Deing as a backup C often to rest Pek. Depending on match ups, stick him at PF...but I'd advise to not start him there.
We've got pieces to trade for a solid stop-gap PF if need be.
