You're forgetting about Rachal. Sampson obviously can play there. Days certainly could with Williams and Reid inside. Simms also could since he wouldn't be asked to be a 4 as much.

Rachal I see as a spot 2/3 player. He needs to develop some offensive game in a big way this offseason. Alexander is starting to come along it seems and Rachal's minutes are getting thinner. I think offensive development is key for him this offseason.

I like both Alexander and Rachal for different reasons, both bring a lot of different strengths to the table. In fact I wish I could combine the strengths of both into 1 player

In all honesty I see Simms' minutes all but disappearing next season with the influx of big man talent. He's not a 3 at all, and has always been an undersized 4 basically. He could be 5th (Bigby-Williams, E. Williams, Reid, Days) on the totem pole pretty quick at the big man spots. not even counting Kiir who has huge upside compared to Simms. I think Simms is what he is, a solid role player and he'll fill that next year. When we get into foul trouble at the big spots he can provide some solid but unspectacular minutes.
