That's a bit rudimentary.
I'd go...
Exum, Hood, Hayward, Favors, Gobert for first 6 minutes.
Sub out Favors at the 6:00 mark.
Exum, Hood, Hayward, Lyles, Gobert for the next 3 minutes.
Sub out Hood at the 3:00 mark.
Exum, Murray, Hayward, Lyles, Gobert.
Sub out Exum, Hayward, Gobert at end of 1st.
Play Mack, Murray, Ingles, Lyles, Withey til the 9:30 mark.
Sub Favors in for Withey at the 9:30 mark.
Mack, Murray, Ingles, Lyles, Favors
Sub out Ingles at the 7:00 mark for Hood.
Run with Mack, Murray, Hood, Lyles, Favors til the 5:00 mark.
Bring in starters for last 5:00 of half. Or something like that.
Exum, Hayward and Gobert would get 34 minutes per that way. Hood would get 32. Favors would get 31. Lyles would get 26 minutes. Murray would get 20 minutes. Mack would get 14 minutes. Ingles would get 10 minutes. Withey would get 5 minutes.
I could see the Jazz wanting to develop Murray in game and so I could see him taking most of Macks minutes unless he is really struggling. Murray is NOT a pure PG but he has a decent enough handle that he could play that position against bench units.
You're absolutely right, he'd struggle defensively.
