Yeah I really think the addition of forwards like O'Quinn, DWill and Seraphin will really help to strengthen and toughen up our D and Rebounding. It's a somewhat overlooked aspect of the roster outside of the Melo, RoLo, Afflalo group. Their presence should really help to make this team a tough matchup most nights. This roster has an underlying toughness that I think most analysts and some fans aren't paying much attention to. This team had no backbone last year. Even with Tyson there was a certain lack of resistance we needed.

On top of that all of the Frontcourt guys have a pretty good inside efficiency. Our bigs will be really potent scoring in the paint, which is a big part of the offense.
