Correct. Seeing that AD will finish every game at the 5, and Asik could give you a serviceable 18-20 mins there, SF is easily a bigger hole
A B-plus small forward helps this team far more than a B-plus center would. Now, a better than average SF is harder to land because there are far fewer of them, so there is an argument to be made that you go after a center instead for that reason. But a small forward is undoubtedly the bigger need

tend to agree, but w/ all the holes, it's tough to say.
wing
big next to Davis
creators/ball handlers
shooting
some overlap in some of these areas (shooting) but ideally you find a wing that can play up when needed next to Davis. Barnes is an example of that type of guy. the problem is everyone in the league wants a wing like that (see Barnes/Parsons $$$)
but even a guy like Pondexter can have a huge impact. i've been railing on a lack of wings for a very long time- it's a shame the Pels weren't able to do more to develop/find them over the past 5 years.
re: Asik- to his credit, he looks much more spry so far this season. he has regularly looked like a 4th big. i still have doubts about him in many matchups (definitely including games in April/May) and if he can avoid injury/sustain play. but credit where it is due- if he can give them a decent 15MPG on most nights, he's doing his job.

I disagree. I prefer our optipns at SF like Hill, DC, Tyreke and Q-Pon more, than I like Asik and Ajinca at C. And I'm not a fan of AD banging with the bigs for 30 mins a game at C. Let's get him a legit frontcourt mate and give Buddy and Solo time to improve. I think thats the fastest route to becoming a playoff team.
