I believe Queta may be the better all around player, but I think Robinson should start simply because of the hack a Robinson strategy.

If he starts at the beginning of quarters any Hack a Robinson scenario would be getting into the penalty earlier because he is out there at the beginning of the quarter, as opposed to him coming in the game later in the quarter where it wouldn't have the benefit of getting us into the penalty quicker.

Plus you would be picking up quick fouls on opposing teams starting players if they choose to do it.

Robinson first 6 mins of every quarter
Queta to finish them out as he is a good free throw shooter

First thing first, he must get in better shape. It was actually crazy how winded he was in limited playing time against the Spurs.

I suggested this in another thread.  Hire a hypnotist to help with his Free Throws.

He and Hugo need to go on a free throw shooting retreat together.

Bad free throw shooters dont typically tend to get any better. Just ask Shaquille O?Neal and Rajon Rondo.

I do have some hope for Hugo, though, seeing as hes still so young and his 3 point shot actually looks pretty good.

Let's not forget Andre Drummond with a career free throw % of 48.9%.   And during the 2015/16 season he shot 35.5% from the foul line.  Last season he shot 63.1%.  He has proven that with work foul shooting can improve.  Let's hope we see a similar improvement from Robinson.

Robinson's usage needs to be managed, since he can be injury prone. We need to have him available as a defender in the playoffs. I am for whatever gives us the best chance of this.
