It's going to be so interesting to see how the rotation works. I have a feeling there will be at least 2-3 months of outright experimentation, but when the dust clears, I find it highly unlikely that EVERYONE'S pet new/young guy will be ensconced in a regular role.
For example, it seems clear to me that Green is super important to the current roster construction, and I've basically assumed they're planning for him to have a sizable role. But, it seems like there are still doubters who don't even think of him as a playable piece.
Others are penciling Hardy in as basically the third guard, and while I am still REALLY high on him as a prospect, I would be shocked if he's higher in the rotation than THJ or Curry, and I'm starting to wonder if even Exum might have the edge over him, short term.
I think O-Max is ready now (more ready than Hardy, even) and others aren't even listing him amongst rotation possibilities.
Some think the center position is Holmes' to lose, and that Powell will be a "break glass in case of emergency" type, while I have no trouble imagining that something closer to the opposite will be true.
It's all fascinating, imho. I'm sure we'll each find at least one thing puzzling about how it turns out.
