I agree with Khans. We don't have holes "everywhere". That's quite the exaggeration. We have a lot of question marks including injuries, let alone the young question marks of Bennett/Payne/Brown. I'm not worried about Rubio or Bazz injuries since they were freak things with the exception of Bazz's oblique injury earlier in the season. It's unlikely those guys continue getting those freak injuries. With Martin there's some worry as he's been known to be injured for various things throughout his career and then Pek has had the chronic foot issues. Pek is the biggest injury issue for me, but it seems like it will either be good to go or be career threatening. Hopefully we find out which by the start of the season.

The true holes we have are PF (the entire PF lineup is a question mark except KG who is minute limited) & backup PG with a monster question at C with Pek that might turn into a hole. We also have non injury position specific question marks at PG (Lavine) and C/PF (Dieng).

Can Lavine play PG and be that combo guard? He's certainly trending upwards lately especially his turnover rate which is key. Should Dieng play PF or can he bulk up and play C?

I'm in no way concerned with the wing positions. We have plenty of capable guys there and I think it's safe to say Wiggins, Lavine & Bazz are all AT LEAST serviceable rotation guys. We absolutely need to address PF/C this summer and then look at addressing backup PG.

I'd be fine with another vet backup point guard.

The thought of a Kaminksy/Towns lineup is interesting, though.

We need to keep in mind that Bjelica is very much in the mix. That keeps being forgotten.

If only it was possible to get 2 lottery picks. So much for that Miami pick ... hah

I've always liked Kaminksy. Ranked 8th on my big board actually.

I'm interested to see how Frank's game translates to the pros. He has such a unique skill set, Dominant in so many areas, just lacks some quickness (but I'm sure all you experts on here will tell me anyway ahead of time!)

It's not exactly about the pick being 10-12, even 14-20 would be nice Just having that second first round pick would've been excellent this year. It would go a long way towards moving up a few spots to grab a player we coveted, like a Kaminsky or a WCS if he drops to the 10-12 range.
