playing a starter with bench players doesn't make the "bench" stronger.

You tell that to the backup big and backup PG trying to defend a Rondo/Boogie P&R with 3 capable 3 point shooters next to them.

It will be interesting to see how good the small ball unit is without Hill, but last year the small ball unit that was getting good enough to have made the playoffs had the trade not happened. The staggering units I would expect to see would be

A small ball unit built around Jrue/AD with 3 of Moore/Clark/Miller/Cunningham

A Boogie P&R attack with
Rondo or Crawford at point, Boogie at center and 3 shooters.

Other teams will just adjust and stagger their starters as well, to get the best match ups.

The problem AD/DC present is that most teams have at best 1 defender good enough to slow 1 of them down. How are they going to stagger that 1 guy? This isn't like Greg Monroe off the bench when we were able to put Asik on him. Boogie will just take 3s and drive if they put an Asik on him.
