[Mike Trudell] Asked about playing PF vs C, Davis said his focus is on winning basketball games, and that he trusts that Darvin Ham will put him in the best spot. Added: in today’s game, most of the fives that have the ball – he mentioned Jokic and Embiid – are on the perimeter a lot anyways.

he can play PF or C but the problem is we ain’t got any other good PFs or Cs
I’m fine with him at C, but we need either bron, JTA or Gabriel in when he does it.
AD’s issue was never about swapping positions. The issue the last few years is that we lacked good 4’s and 5’s, so AD would essentially play 2 positions simultaneously. Giannis, Embiid, and Jokic all have had good backup bigs and wings over the last few years.
AD isn’t a center nor do we have the personnel for that lineup. We get cooked every time he plays the 5. Our starting lineup should be ad/bron/jones/nunn/Russ for now.
It’s so strange to me that this is still a discussion at this point in his career
