You have to build this for the future as well. And if you put forward a starting lineup of Russell / Clarkson / Ingram / Randle, that team is easily giving up a 100+ points a night without an elite defensive C.
Most teams without a defensive C give up a lot of points (100) in today's NBA. They just usually have a C to compensate and they score more points. Ya its definitely a need, but talking about just those 4 alone on D, thats not a terrible group. There is a ton of length there. DRuss is tall/long, J clarkson what he lacks in length he can make up for with athleticism/effort, Ingram you know, and Randle can develop into a decent PF D guy. He's got the tools. We'll see.
