Until Klay gets back I expect Kerr to start McKinnie. Mostly because of familiarity.

We only have so many guys who know the defensive schemes and assignments right now. Kerr is gonna have to lean heavily on that until the new guys can figure things out.

Expect lots of growing pains early on in this process.

I agree, at the start of things. But I think they will take a long hard look at GRIII. He has experience at SF, and during his 3 years with the Pacers was a much better 3FG shooter than McKinnie has shown. (Especially on the corner 3s.) I haven't seen Alfonzo adding much on defense, so we will have to see how far familiarity gets him.

If I was GRIII. I think I'd take Ron Adams to breakfast every day.

I'm not expecting much from Robinson at all. He's been underwhelming.

McKinnie can hang his hat on being an elite rebounder at his position. We need rebounding. Right?

"Evans is trash" is just so dumb. He's not a good shooter, and he's looked overwhelmed, but when are people going to learn that you can't give up on every player who doesn't show out the gate, particularly when they go to a great team. As far as I can tell the only fan base who have learned this lesson is the Spurs.

SF is an issue of course, but I didn't see many options for them to fill the position with anyone that would be any kind of exciting. They appear to be betting on development big. How many teams have solid answers at every position? The Lakers have major questions at 3 positions, The Clippers two best players play the same position, and their next 3 are bench players, The Rockets have 2 PGs, 2 SGs, and a C in their top 5 and their "best" SF is a 6'6" PF playing SF.

Just try to enjoy the game.
