    Yes! He could offer everything Aminu does + more rebounding, better passer, better on the break

    If he solidifies his mid-range jumper he become the perfect 4 next to Nurkic. The defense of Harkless/Bell/Nurkic would've really made up for Dame/CJ's deficiencies.

    Bell is nowhere near as talented on the offensive side though, so if Caleb and/or Zach even come close to Bell's defensive ability with way more upside offensively, we will be just fine. I'm a huge (Duck) Bell fan, but Caleb and Zach seem to fit this team perfectly.

    That's fair, if we need the firepower (which we do, I'm just not convinced it has to come from the 4 spot). I see Bell, if he stays healthy, having a Rodman-like career.

    So I’m guessing Swanigan is Collins’ backup once Aminu is gone or coach realizes he’s best at SF.

    He also played quite a bit of center in the g league.

    I’m still 50/50 on his future in the NBA, because of his physical limitations. I do however think he’s got the work ethic and IQ to develop into a solid rotation player.

    Hope he gets another shot soon. Rather see him out there than Meyers.
