Projected Starting Frontcourt: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marvin Williams, Cody Zeller

As a pretty underrated group, Marvin Williams had his best season as a pro and improved greatly as a shooter. Zeller became a capable center who offers his advantages as a big man, while Kidd-Gilchrist only played in seven games last year because of injury.

Overall, he is an above-average perimeter defender which teams can’t express enough how valuable that is. This group hasn’t logged many minutes together, but they will get plenty of run this season.

We should know a lot more about this frontcourt after the first month of the season.
