Jordan and Claxton have center on lock. There is no way you can sit Claxton anymore. He has been excellent on both ends of the floor.
Durant and Green are PF. I'm not cutting Green's minutes the dude has been shooting 41% from downtown.
Where is Blake getting minutes?
Let's face it, Bruce Brown was backing up the Forwards out of necessity, even though he's a 6' 4" Guard.
That's really his best fit, so I see Blake's roll is as Harris' backup and Brown Backups up at Harden and Kyrie. When he comes in for Kyrie it's simple, he's coming in as the 2-Guard. And when he comes in for Harden, Kyrie handles the ball as the PG and Brown is still the 2G. So he's still get plenty of minutes as the primary backup for both Guards, and Blake will take the minutes Brown was getting in splitting time with Harris.
If Blake doesn't play well then we re-adjust and he goes to the bench as an insurance policy against injuries and a guy who can play when Nash wants to rest Durant or Jordan and give them nights off.
Hopefully he plays well so Nash can limit the minutes of certain players, keep them healthy and fresh for the post season, without sacrificing games to do it, so we can still make a run at the #1 seed.
