That simply isn’t true. Of the players not playing only Kobe, and Smith are actually battle tested. I’d take the three starting guards over anybody not playing. Wilson,Russell,Hardy. I’d say Johnson is the equivalent of Kobe, Goo Doo Equals Smith. Lafayette is a solid three minutes a half, maybe longer. I’d say give the non players Lafayette and the starters would win most games.
I would say this, the matchup would be closer than you think. You are right the current starters would probably win, but I think Kobe is better than Jalen, not by a lot but by some. He has a much bigger upside, Geuye and Smith are almost the same player that is correct. The two question marks are Lowery and Cadwell. Both of those guys would be playing significant minutes if they were healthy.
Mylik and Cedric are the difference makers. PJ is a streaky shooter that would not be starting, he would be a bench guy for sure. Cadwell would be on the court much more than Hardy.
