Would you start Casspi at PF the rest of the way?

Ok guys, we have all seen Casspi playing at a high level since inserted into the starting line up. Once WCS is healed up Karl will be forced to choose if he keeps Casspi in the starting line up or bring WCS back... What do you do and why?
Personally if Casspi is playing at a high level I keep him in there.

Obviously Willie is the future and he need PT but he plays a low number of minutes per game anyways, plus he can see a few more offensive touches with the second unit.

For the style Karl wants to play, going small was the only option the whole time. Willie as a backup C with this unit might be nice to move forward with if that's the idea. The problem is Koufos because that would suck to see Willie eternally crunched like many lotto picks before him. Going small means they can't realistically fit in both Koufos and Willie in. The deadline needs to be about balancing out this team and hopefully finishing off what they couldn't get done in the offseason. Assuming all's good at the deadline of course.

No way would I, but Karl may just do that.
Off the bench I'd still give Casspi 25-30 mpg, and he'd be more likely to close games too. But you have to consider some of WCS scoring liabilities, they way he runs the floor if Rondo is the PG, and KK is the better scoring big to inflate the bench production some.
Our bench if we get everyone back healthy should go back to being in the top 5-8th in scoring or so.
Collison, Marco, Casspi, KK is a very balanced and productive bench.

We wouldn't have the balls to do this but I'd rather see us keep Casspi in the starting lineup and put Gay on the bench as a sixth man.
