Thad Young should have C eligibility
Thad Young has been playing backup C ever since Carter Jr went down. According to basketball-reference.com, Young has played C 40% of the time in 2020-21.

Thaddeus Young posted a line of 18 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 22 minutes Saturday vs. the Kings.
Advice: Young has been very good for the Bulls over the last month or so, providing solid value at both the power forward and center positions. Providing 5th-round value in 9-cat formats, the veteran forward has been a 6th-round player in 8-cat during that stretch. Even though Young is coming off the bench, he is still a player worth rostering as the Bulls are expected to be without Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) until after the All-Star break.

Just checked the latest stats on basketball reference and the split is actually 54% PF and 46% Center.
And that's over 24 games and 612 minutes played.
In additon to other commentary he's still playing small ball centre - was matched up against Embiid for sections of the game yesterday, it's not dependent on Carter Junior playing or not.
This clearly needs to be fixed now based on the data, thanks
