I would probably go with Sexton and either Beasley or Agbaja. I'm almost positive it's going to end up being Conley and Sexton.
Basically this.
 
I could have gone with Beasley, but went with Conley for the following reasons:

- Mike's our only true point guard. I see Conley as our only guy that can really lead an offense and set up plays or get players the ball in positions that they will be more likely to succeed. His time on the court with our young guys will be valuable to their development.
- Mike has the highest potential reclamation value on our team, in my opinion. I think it's likely someone will be looking for a point guard during the season. I think Mike will play well and look good to start the season. I think we can get some good value from him in season.

I would limit his minutes to like 28 minutes or so and not play him on back to backs. If he doesn't get traded by the deadline then move him to the bench.

Mike is going to start, but it's going to be a super quick sub out. Probably at the 8 minute mark.
 
I think you have to give Conley the token start given who he is. However, I'd make him an early sub and bring in Beasley or Clarkson. Other guys are going to have to earn their minutes and it might take half a season.

I'd be keeping Conley on a minutes restriction, like maybe 26 or 27 mins, regardless.

Some of you guys may be expecting too much too soon from Agbaji, imo. There's also a log-jam between NAW, THT and Bolmaro.
 
It should be Sexton and Beasley, but I expect Conly and Beasley start with Sexton and Clarkston getting significant minutes off the bench.
