Actually I agree with you, and it's the first time I've done it, but my guess is that Warren and Len won't see significant time at all except in garbage time (along with Archie) and if Hornacek really said 2 of our point guards will be on the floor at all times in the press conference, then that would push Green to playing the 3, which pushes Marcus to the 4, and I was a little curious on how minutes might work out under that scenario (assuming no trades are made and no injuries occur), so I thought I'd participate in the exercise.
He really did not say there would be 2 pgs on the floor at all times. I do think Kief will start at PF and Marcus will back him up. Green will get time at the 3. I think Len will get substantial playing time.

"That's what our vision is," head coach Jeff Hornacek said about the potential of having Thomas, Bledsoe and Dragic at his disposal. "You hear the three-headed monster about big guys all the time, but maybe we got the three-headed monster in the guards. There is going to be two of those guys on the court at all times. When it happens, teams are going to have to plan for that and really focus. We feel we can always be on the attack with three of them on the team and two of them out on the court most of the time."

We feel like that's a good weapon for us to have. He and Goran and Eric are guys that are capable of getting 20-plus points or eight or nine assists on any given night. We feel like with the variety and having those three guys and having two of them on the floor at all times, that really gives Coach (Jeff) Hornacek a lot of weapons to choose from."
