Totally. Cole being dead centre gives him a strange gravity. Flanked by Isaac and AB, to me that’s saying they’re the focus of that 2nd unit.

I could definitely see some lineups where Isaac plays C, Ingles plays PF and AB plays SF.

My god that was an ugly video. A template from Motion Array would’ve looked better.

Just want AB to be part of rotation. If that 2nd line comes out as the 2nd unit that would be super interesting.

Not inconceivable at all. When you've got a PG who shoots, AB could slot in elsewhere. Ingles could slide to 4...interesting.

Yea ingles as backup PG and Cole backing up Paolo is certainly an interesting strategy

I am on record I think we’ll have a slight winning record this season but my gut feeling is we are going to lose this game.

If that pic placement is true, and MoeSwag/Goga are 3rd string... I wonder who we will put as our backup C?

Watching the PHO/GSW game showed that having a reliable backup C that can hold down the paint ( how many block did Eubanks have and intimidate??) really helped PHO. Can't believe GSW had Dario as their backup C

Can the first game of the season be a must win?

FOR SURE. We'll definitely need a panic thread.

My random prediction: Paolo starts off with a clunker and Jabari outplays him. I hope I’m wrong!

Looking forward to seeing Paolo's significant improvement this year. Not promising after he got owned by his father, Zion Williamson, in preseason.

Sounds like a pretty accurate statement to me.
