There will probably be 15 different starting lineups this year, so you could all be right.

I agree in general. But the problem is I don't see Ty wanting to play Bell and Burks alongside each other much -- too small. Additionally, any unit with Watson, Bell, Burks, and Okur/Favors/Kanter is going to struggle to score. But I do think we'll generally close halves with Harris/CJ/Hayward/Sap/Al. So it will be interesting to see how Ty plays with his chess pieces to get there. The X Factor nobody wants to hear is a Vet pickup at 3 the leading to DNP's for Burks until he gets acclimated and/or proves he's ready for a regular rotation job.

This is how I see things. Sap will come off the floor after 3-6 mins, and return to back up Favors.

It's pretty impossible to speculate on rotation issues until we sort out our backup PG.
I'm in favor of bringing in a journeyman 3-pt shooter, if we can find one, but I hope he takes a lower priority to developing Hayward, Burks, and Evans.

prediction (as conservervative as it gets...) :
harris
hayward - i dont know any reason to not start him
miles - only the gods know why they like him
millsap - veteran over young talent. to keep his value high for a possible trade
jefferson
what i would do (start the best players) :
harris
hayward
millsap - millsap as sf is still better than miles on the court at all
jefferson
favors

as long as al and sap are on the team, they will be the starting 4 and 5, no doubt. which is unfortunate, because i would really like to see favors get 25+ mpg this year.
i think hayward gets the start over bell.
harris-hayward-cj*-sap-al
(*- i'm still holding out hope that they'll bring AK back, but if not, CJ it is.)

Assuming no AK, that's my prediction as well... although I would have listed CJ at SG and Hayward at SF. Not that that makes much difference.

It all depends on training camp, and whether they feel the need to play Favors right away or not.
Barring any Corbin-infatuation with Favors and feeling the need to throw him in the starting lineup from the get go, here's my prediction:
Harris
Miles
Hayward (presuming AK isn't re-signed)
Millsap
Jefferson
If they go big, then it will probably be:
Harris
Miles
Millsap
Favors
Jefferson
Miles will be given seniority, and I am quite sure they'll throw him in whatever starting lineup in the beginning of the season. As the season progress, if Millsap at SF proves effective and Hayward plays well, then Miles will probably be thrown into the 6-8th man position.
Unless Bell starts again.........
