I think you're missing badly on Kleber, both as to primary position and to the size (mpg) of the intended role. What I expect to see (barring injury) is:
DEPTH CHART
C Gafford-Lively
PF PJW-Maxi
SF Klay-Naji
SG Kyrie -Grimes
PG Luka -Exum/Dinwiddie
However, players slide between positions, so I think their priorities for minutes will look something like this when everyone is healthy:
CENTER DEFENSE - Gafford-Lively split 48 mpg
... Maxi-Powell get leftovers, if/when they exist, but these will be very few when everyone is healthy
OFFENSE (CREATORS) - Luka - Kyrie - Klay split 96 mpg (but also have 3 starting spots)
.... Exum/Dinwiddie get leftover minutes, when they exist, but these will be very few when everyone is healthy
WING DEFENSE - the remaining 96 mpg - and these are essentially PF/SF aka 3-and-D wing roles
PJW - gets the only remaining starting spot
Also with regular minutes - Maxi-Naji-Exum (and perhaps Grimes earns some)
I see lots of DNP-CD for Hardy, Powell, Omax, SD, Morris/Lawson. Too many ahead of them.
