I mean “all 5 starters shoot outside” instead of “all 5 players…”

But we still need an inside post presence to complete the Thunder. On offense, with what we have now, all 5 players shoot outside, so there is a hole in the paint. On defense, every Thunder player (except Byron Mullens) are under 7 foot. Even though Krstic listed himself at 7′, he is really 6’11 (Samuel Dalambert is taller than him). Besides, Krstic is weak on defense. When we get a rebounding, shot-blocking center who patrols the paint, like Brendan Haywood (7’1.5″ in shoes, who ranks in the Top 10 in both, who makes only $6M), we will have an intimidating team. We can’t get that quality through the draft.
