With the FA period in full swing, want to start a thread to monitor the latest possible starting 5 and rotation.
Feel free to add your thoughts and analysis.

Here is my best guess...starting 5 remain unchanged.

Starting 5
Pg Teague
Sg Korver
Sf Carroll
Pf Millsap
C Horford

Reserves
Pg Schroeder
Sg Sefolosha/Jenkins
Sf Bazemore
Pf Payne
C Antic

Does Korver move to a reserve role and Sefolosha move to starting SG...if so, can DMC move to reserve role instead and Korver move to SF??? Just know that DMC was a key defensive presence for starting 5 that Sefolosha can fill. Just wonder if Sefolosha moved to Hawks for a reserve role and how the rotation will be managed.

What are your thoughts on starting 5 and reserve rotation with the current team?

The starting five can have a change, but IMO, it won't happen at the start of the season.
If we want to contend, we need to make a good start, so better start with our five of last season.
After some games, and depending on opponents, it's possible that Thabo or Bazemore get some start.

I think Korver stays a starter. He gets more open looks when he is playing with the starters and he opens things up for every one else. Thabo could possibly take Carroll's spot but I think Carroll begins the year starting.

I doubt we see Jenkins on the team and I think our SG rotation will be Korver/Bazemore/Patterson.

My guess:
PG: Teague / Mack / Schröder
Wing: Korver / Thabo / Demarre / (Bazemore / Jenkins)
Bigs: Horford / Millsap / Antic / Brand* / (Payne / Scott)

Having said that, I have a hunch that Ferry isn't done dealing. Don't think we'll see a complete overhaul or anything but I do think we'll see a 3-for-1 deal on the horizon...
