I would also argue that Max might be more suited defensively to taking on the more difficult guard assignment compared to Risacher. Another option would be to put Flagg at PF and start both Max and Risacher.
This is where my instincts lead me, too, though I admit there are a dozen different ways things could go from here.
My dream is Flagg, a center (hopefully different types of centers) and a bunch of fast, athletic guys around them. To me, the best path to that fit is for the other three guys to play 1, 2 and 3, so the dude I don’t think fits is PJW (though I certainly agree with those who say he’s an Ujiri type in a vacuum).
