less than 20.  no reliable scoring at all and only really 2 guys that might break 20 on a given night in Rozier and Morris. 

D would probably be pretty decent for the most part but if either Bird or Lemon is a starting SG, you're team is toast.
Rozier and Smart would be the starting backcourt. 
one would think but that wasn't what the OP proposed

I never really proposed a starting lineup.

I think one of Hayward/Tatum/Brown will be playing significant minutes with the bench and we should count one of them in this hypothetical situation.

To take your idea in a totally different direction, a separate poll could be set up to ask how many games would our bench win against every other team's bench in a full season?

I imagine we could do a lot better in that comparison, as opposed to throwing out our guys at top NBA talent! :)

No doubt, but that is why I took "closing lineup" as our starting unit.

6 of the players were rotational players on a team that made the eastern conference finals. I think they’d do fine. Maybe 25-30 wins coached by Stevens.

I would expect all 3 plus Kyrie and Al to spend a bit of time playing with bench players but I have no doubt the starting 5 on this team will still be the top 5 guys in terms of minutes per game at the end of the season.
