Goga likely might not be a permanent starter in this league, but right now he’s clearly going to get the start with WCJ being out for a few weeks. They are different style centers. We might learn more about the ideal fits of player types next to paolo and franz based off the data we get during this stretch.
Goga did an incredible job on his first game as a starter. He brings something that we've been lacking in a center for years: size, rebounding and someone who protects the rim. Anything he gives us on the offensive end is extra in my eyes.

Franz and Paolo can handle the offensive workload, The type of center we need has to be able to be a a rim protector - Goga 5 Blocks and Moes ability to bring his energy off the bench - not a bad way to collectively hold the fort down until WCJ comes back. Small sample size but first game with out WCJ was a bit telling

I really like our depth there, wcj,goga,mo, JI (should play some min at c too) and Paolo (not a Fan at all of him playing min at C)
This team is so deep

I like the flexibility even if it's just for a short stretch of having the option of putting P at the 5 with the intent of keeping that card in our back pocket. Truthfully if health wise he was capable as much as i loved goga in his one game stint against the lakers, id like to see JI there with the starting unit.

I feel its underrated that Paolo's time playing center with team USA is what kinda had him finding his groove for the first few games, so ya i don't prefer him playing the 5 unless we can find a way to get another wing 3pt shooter in the lineup
@bkkmagic that's the key... if we can add another shooter, I'd have no problem with Paolo playing the 5 some more.
Imagine this lineup:
C. Paolo
PF. Franz
SF. Harris
SG. Suggs
PG. Fultz
Not saying this should be our starting lineup or anything like that, but it would be a fun small ball lineup.
