IT 33 / Rozier 10 / Smart 5
Smart 25 / Brown 15 / Hayward 8
Hayward 24 / Crowder 16 / Tatum 8
Morris 32 / Crowder 16
Horford 32 / Baynes 16

There is no way Morris plays 32 minutes. A good amount of those will go to Tatum/Brown
I'm bitter.

And not that I like the idea of starting Baynes, but it's better than starting Morris out of position.

There are only three positions now. People have to get use to not having the traditional C-PF-SF-SG-PG lineups. It's Bigs-Wings-Ball Handlers

Sure, but when the other team is starting two traditional bigs, guys like Morris and Crowder often get brutalized on defense and on the boards.

Marcus has been starting at PF for quite some time now, certainly as long as he's been in Detroit. And as for Phoenix, he largely didn't start at PF because Markief was there in front of him at the PF spot, but they were largely interchangeable.

And looking at their respective sizes, he's virtually identical to Amir, who was our starting center last year, and only an inch shorter and about ten pounds lighter than Al. And I'm sure Marcus is actually several pounds heavier at this point as he's aged.

Marcus - 6'9" 235 lbs

Amir - 6'9" 240 lbs

Horford - 6' 10" 245 lbs

Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

You are certainly right with regards to this past season.  Think about 70% of his minutes were at power forward.  In 2015-16 though he did more more at the 3 in a unit with Illy at the 4.
