I am fine with McGee starting. Maybe it doesn't work, but I really don't think it is a big deal. Games typically start at a little slower pace. So Kidd is probably envisioning when McGee started for the championship Laker team before going out five or so minutes into the game. It also helps limit some minutes Wood is banging with a center during the long regular season. His body is probably not best to bang game in, game out for a full season.
I am sort of surprised about Dinwiddie starting though. To be honest though, any choice as the last starter is a tad flawed. I think Dinwiddie could be very good in that role, I just don't know if he will be nearly as efficient as Jalen. One hidden thing about losing Jalen, is I was weirdly confident we would be good when Luka went out last year. It was a big part of this teams success. If that decreases a bit, that is a big loss. Hopefully we have a strong group who plays well together when Luka sits.
