I'm beginning to think Dylan Harper could be the first option, and the offense would be damn near unstoppable. But which guard would you bench? Mitch is from the Pop school of minutes management, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to burn all three stars' quality minutes simultaneously.

For the time being, I think he should come off the bench and run the second unit like they used to do with Manu, Take Vic and Fox out, let him run pick and roll with Kornet against the other teams backups. There's plenty of minutes to go around and it's a long ass season. You saw them try to close out the Knicks game with Fox, Harper, Castle, Vassell and Wemby. I think that's where they would ultimately like to go depending on matchups. Every one of those guys (with Vassell being the obvious weakest link) can hunt the poorest defender and get a shot off / get to the rim / get fouled at really high rate. 

Harper is virtually unguardable after 16 NBA games. He gets to the rim at will and finishes as well as anybody with either hand. He never turns it over. He plays really good defense. He reads the pick and roll and finds the open guy with amazing consistency. And for past couple of games he's been on fire from three. I don't know what the ceiling is for him, but this is the floor. Barring injury, this is the worst version we're ever going to see of this dude and I'm almost ready to say that he's already better than Tony Parker ever was.
