I know we have other trade threads, forgive my creating another. I wanted to start a conversation specifically about a Buzzfeed quiz that I made. The topic is one we know quite well: who should we pursue with the Dinwiddie DPE? Specifically, I highlight different attributes of Centers. Answer the ranked preference questions, and the quiz will spit out the result of who you think we should target.
It's my first time trying this format, and my criterion may be unintentionally subjective, so I'd like to get your feedback on the results. Here's the link, please share your thoughts, thanks!

Re: Best C for Our DPE
That's cool that you put that little quiz together. My result was
Daniel Theis
The diminutive but effective German Theis has a great all-around game. He shines in hustle stats like screen assists, charges drawn and contested shots.
I actually don't know a lot about him, so can't really comment too much. I'm sure you'll get some better feedback from others though

Re: Best C for Our DPE
Whoever they get needs to be a lob threat. Harden with a lob threat can work wonders. Kyrie to a lesser extent.

Re: Best C for Our DPE
I got Whiteside.
Choices were shot blocking > hustle stats > lob finishing > post defense

Re: Best C for Our DPE
I got Javale Mcgee
Cool quiz.....
My order was Shot Blocking, Post D, Hustle, Interior Passing.
It is really my hope that what we have will be enough. We have seen Scary Hours all take their game a notch above. And we saw DJ really have some impressive games. If he can rise with the tide of scary hours we are golden. Still very curious about what Nic can bring, although my expectation are moderate, I believe he may be able to provide us with decent minutes.

Re: Best C for Our DPE
I agree with the lob threat, I think we really need rebounding and paint protection, McGee would work. A dream center would be a shooter like Vucevic, he has high IQ but is just stuck on a bad team, surrounded with talent he would be unlocked to another level.

Re: Best C for Our DPE
Vucevic is unrealistic. The Magic have repeatedly turned down offers for him and with good reason.
Richard Holmes would be amazing with Harden off the pick and roll . Plus Holmes is a good rim protector .
