Could a Sully/Olynyk frontcourt work with Aaron Gordon at SF (and PF)?

[Celtics18]

I like both of our young power forwards, but I don't envision a future of them forming our frontline together. 

If we think they will both be quality starters (which I think they will be), unfortunately one of them probably has to be moved at some point.  My keeper is Klynyk.

I would love to see a summer league front court line up of:

SF: KO
PF: Sully
C: Colton Iverson

Sure, there would be defensive issues for KO in man to man situations, but I think his team defense would be ok. But that would be a great two man combo with Sully and KO without one of them having to play Center. Iverson is in there because I am curious to see if he has improved enough to actually be of use. And this would be assuming that Sully is allowed to play in summer league.

This dude Walter Tavares looks like a pretty exciting center prospect/project: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Walter-Tavares-48916/

7'3", HUGE wingspan not yet measured, standing reach probably 9'5+, and pretty mobile for his size.

He could be our Hibbert, or a 20 mpg version of Hibbert off the bench over the long-term.

I think it can work. Gordon can bail these guys out

That would be interesting to watch, uptempo style.

Jesus, Gordon at the 2?

With just a little work on his ballhandling Gordon could easily play the 1.  I see his floor as being a more athletic Magic Johnson. With a higher basketball IQ than Magic, of course.  I don't mean to be a total smarty pants, but watching the Aaron Gordon train pick up steam is an amazing phenomenon.  Bill Brasky would be proud of the reputation Gordon is attaining.

This is what you would hope for from Gordon, but he probably won't ever get to quite Josh Smith's level as a shotblocker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iC2m75Xbo8

Paul George has no problem defending shooting guards, and he is the same size as Gordon. With bigs who can stretch the floor, experiments like the "Power SG" become easier.

you lost me at his floor being one of the best of all time, but this highlighted bit means you're joking. right?

Yeah - this is either a sick joke or a visit to Lenscrafters is in order.

Google Bill Brasky and you'll get the joke.  TP for notthebowler.

Bill Brasky? I once saw him scissor-kick Angela Lansbury.

[NorthernLightning]

Gordon does have point forward aspirations like Scottie Pippen. He has solid handles, great vision in the open court, and he seems extremely intelligent. He wants to be a coach after his playing days and I think he'll be a good one.

He may not be Magic Johnson, but he can make plenty of magic on the fast break, and is a coast to coast threat every time he gets a defensive rebound.

I heard Bill Brasky wears a live rattlesnake as a condom.

Complete 5 man line up would be:

PG: Pressey
SG: Marcus Smart
SF: K.O.
PF: Sully
C: Iverson

I'd like to see this line-up have a go during the summer league
