It might be nice, in a man defense, to have the freedom to float that guy around and try to play him against every opponent's best scorer. He has the ratings flexibility to succeed at any position 1-5, though his rebounding is somewhat sub-par for the post positions. It's good enough. With the current roster you lack that flexibility because you don't have another guy who's really capable of handling the 1 successfully. Your next-best option is also a SF and even slower. As of right now you don't appear to be recruiting a PG. If you don't find one, again, Piccolo will do a very good job. But you lose the flexibility. And you may not get as much out of him, rebounding and scoring-wise, playing the 1 as you would at the 3. Not that he's an elite scorer anywhere...
