    Randolph ... big enough to play spot minutes at center if needed, and much more skilled than Hill. Luke Jackson is a "neigh"

    Hill. We only have 2 other centers and they are both injury prone.

    Ed Cota was the man. I really wish he had made it in the league.


    I hope you're joking. Batum is already one of the 14 signed.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Luke Jackson isn't an NBA-caliber player. Steven Hill and Shavlik Randolph might be. So it's between those two and in the small sample size of this pre-season, I'd have to lean to Randolph. He actually seems to have a little game. Hill just seems tall and well-bearded.

    Hill. The 15th spot is all about a practice player. Sure, S-Bo and Hill are roughly the same size, but Hill is a traditional pivot banger while Randolph is a hustle four-but-can-play-the-five-in-a-pinch.

    For practice, we need a pivot to rest both Oden and Joel.

    Shavlik Randolph, based on the fact that he has more tools to be an effective player at some point.
