Yes it does. If you start every game down 10 after the first 5 minutes you're going to lose quite a few games. I'd prefer to not have to climb back from double digit deficits in the first half every night.

I think Mavs probably told McGee they would try him out at starter in order to help close him on coming. It would be easy for them to play him at center for like 3 weeks and then make a change afterwards if it's not working out. At 15 minutes its not going to kill you either way,
If they change it up in like 2 or 3 weeks then ok fine. I hope that's all it is instead of the FO seriously just going right back to what didn't work last year but this time with Wood in the KP role and McGee in the Powell role. Wood at the 5 would open up so many things and we could still have McGee bring his 15 minutes of toughness and rebounding whenever we need it off the bench.
