Bullock and DFS easily covered up the defensive shortcomings of Brunson and Luka...well until those two were super fatigued at the end. But overall, it's really not a big issue. Luka just needs to work on D and be in shape come camp time.

The starting lineup next season is Luka, Brunson, Bullock, DFS, and Powell replacement. You can conjure up all the scenarios you want, but unless Brunson leaves, then that is the lineup. And it got us to the WCF, so results talk and BS walks.

And if you pass on Kessler in the draft because he isn't the next Wilt Chamberlain, then I'm glad you aren't a GM. We don't need a superstar center. Kessler is miles better than Powell talent-wise. My knock on Kessler is that he isn't a great rebounder, but the shot blocking alone is worth the pick. 7'1 guys that block 4 shots a game don't grow on trees.

Problem is there aren't many great center options this summer in the draft or FA. You can try through trade, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg for Myles Turner.
