Cole proved his worth in the NBA and Kirk has only showed in the summer league so i wouldn't be putting him ahead of Cole with that.
Cole is the better defender, but there is no comparison in terms of offensive ability.
Funny thing is that Cole was frequently backed down in the post last year. Used to surprise me because I thought he had a stronger base.
Kirk can't block shots as well, but he has the lower body to absorb contact, which Cole did not have.
Lose 10-15 lbs and lower the body fat and Kirk is pretty serviceable. They had him weighing about 270 at the DLeague Elite Camp last year, and he needs to get his weight down. If he does he is a nice guy to have on the bench.
