I would make it opponent dependent.

Against a team like Cleveland, you talk to Gary and tell him we don't want him and IQ chasing Mitchell and Garland all night, we want OA to take half that burden. And we want to keep Gary fresh for when subs come on, he can be a scorer.

Against a team without a double G threat, start Gary.

But fwiw, I would not start this process next game. Give the new guys a few games under their belt in Darko's system first.

KCP is a much better defender. Theres a reason why KCP was finishing games for two title teams in the last few years.

And GTJ is a better shooter


But if he can’t be trusted on D, how can the team play him in critical minutes?

Starting a guy =/= finishing with a guy
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.
