I'd love Tatum to start at SF or fight M Morris for it, and Jaylen be 6th man/wing extrordinaire.

You're thinking Morris will play SF?
Highly unlikely, he's probably starting at PF with Al at C.

Irving
Smart/Brown
Hayward
Morris
Horford

Can't see Baynes starting tbh. Maybe vs certain matchups but Horford's just too slow to play PF and is much better at C. Gives the 5 out offense and 5 three point threats.

Brown needs to start over Smart because we need to overlap Smart and Irving so that Smart's ball handling skills are on the court when Irving is resting.

Rozier should be fine taking PG minutes. Remember we also don't want opposing super guards getting off to a hot start and getting into a groove. Brown can guard NBA SG's, not sure he can guard PG's all game though (yet). Hopefully he can.
