Should be:
Option 1 - Hayward
Option 2 - Burks
Going to be (but absolutely SHOULD NOT BE):
Option 1 - Bell
Option 2 - CJ
I almost guarantee the starter on opening night will be Bell. They start vets. I don't see that changing with Sloan so newly removed from the mix. They will start all the vets they can muster, so likely will be Harris, Bell, CJ, Millsap, AJ (possibly Memo in place of Sap if he is ready to go).
Bell and CJ should get max 10 mpg BETWEEN THEM this season.

Is a quot painful? Sounds like it.

I almost want to change the focus from who starts to who is the one carrying the position.
Unfortunately even that doesn't help. I believe the raw talent is in this sequence:
1: CJ (really)
2: Burks
3: Hayward
4: Raja
BUT Mentally, the sequence goes like this:
1: Hayward
2: Burks
3: CJ
4: Raja
Obviously, I'm not keen on Raja starting. I agree with an early poster who is concerned that Raja will be a cancer. Sure he's a veteran, but with the way he reacted to being benched part way through last year, it's not likely he'll be the veteran coach we'd like him to be. As for CJ, he puts too much emphasis on starting, which makes him instable (when starting he worries about being benched and presses. When he is not starting, he's mopey and doesn't give 1oo%) That doesn't mean that neither Raja or CJ will start, it really means that the position will be i flux for a while. (bad news for us)

It should be Hayward and Millsap at 2 and 3.
Blocks, as a stat, are overrated, imo. Fun to follow, but doesn't tell the whole story of a guys defense.
Hayward at 3.
Burks at 2.
Burks at 2.

our three best and vaterans are Jefferson Harris and Millsap they are absolutely must play,
sorry CJ you lose with Millsap at SF and Hayward at SG,
my prediction like some guys here:
PG HARRIS
SG HAYWARD
SF MILLSAP
PF FAVORS
C JEFFERSON
bench: KANTER CJ BURKS EVANS is pretty good pushing starting five bench,
biggest issue is back up PG, Watson and Price are nice complemnt guys but rather as 3rd PGs.
