I'm not exactly sure why it would "skew" anything. You can't play Powell or Holmes 36 minutes if everyone is healthy. Kleber doesn't play that many minutes even when he does play.
Pascal gets more rebounds than any other single individual outside of Doncic and Lively, so the starting 5 will clearly be a better rebounding team. And I would argue that we still need a backup center.
