The reason to try him there is because Hayward's a good distributer and makes his teammates better - which can't be said of Harris.
Plus it allows us to put a better basketball player than Harris on the floor. We don't need a player out there taking up space whose sole job is to bring the damn ball over the half court line! How freakin' useless is that?
Burks is an upgrade to Harris. He's a better basketball player, and the sum of the parts is greater. You put the best 5 out there you can. I'm leaning, however, more towards Burks than Hayward at the point. Hayward is a mismatch (in our favor) at the 2 because of his height.
The best 5 on the floor is also the reason you start Millsap at the 3. Kantor at the 5 and Favors at the 4. Jefferson off the bench.
