Horford believes Lendeborg can succeed at center in faster.

“he definitely has the size for it and presents a lot of problems when he goes to the five for teams to keep up with him. So I think it's going to be something that we'll really be able to take advantage of with him being out there and playing with a group that plays faster... I feel like he's going to be in a position to be very successful being playing at the five.”

“It's what you want. I'll be honest, the worry for me coming into camp was, do we only have nine players? And you can't survive the season like that. So it's good to see growth from a lot of guys.”

Nori views Morant as the primary point guard.

“I would consider Ja more the point and then also just because like you see him pushing pace... when Ja pushes that and attacks the paint and then if you get a big down in the paint, it starts to collapse defense and now you can find some easy ones for Dame.”
