    To be fair, he basically didn't play last year.

    Personally I don't think he's a PF. I think he's a center. I don't think he plays particularly well at PF.

    So GOOD JOB Neil for drafting a center while we already had Nurk (and neither one of them can stay healthy.)

    not agreeing with you because saying "we're down 3 starters" isn't being said as a technicality. It's being said for the purposes of spinning out some sunshine, and trying to make the current team look better than it's record. Being down CJ and Nurk, sure that's valid. But to this point, Zach has been an average role player, and as the starter last season, he was a bad role player.

    If we somehow traded for Anthony Davis and he was our starter at PF, River would probably still say we're down three starters :lol:

    that might be true. According to 82games, Zach's positional breakdown in 2018-19:

    he was better offensively as a C, but worse defensively

    I think even HE has said he's a center.
