I know fans and players both get hung up on who is starting. That really doesn't matter practically. I think all 3 will get enough playing time from jump to show what they are worth whether they start or not.

And hopefully coach Jones and staff can find the right mix of playing time for this collection of players.

That's why I'd like to see Johnny schedule some quality teams OOC so we can identify our strengths and weaknesses early and get our best combintions on the court sooner rather than later.

Could spell the difference in making the dance or not.
