Oh, I completely agree, and it would certainly not be my approach.
To add to your point, Davis can be counted on to play well in both the optimal and suboptimal roles, provided he's healthy. Porzingis cannot be, really. If it were me coaching this team for the first time ever, I'd want to quickly find and establish the optimal approach to winning now and worry about how to ensure it was firing on all cylinders come playoff time later.
