Me too. I think this is where it is going to land up, outside of any trades/injuries. The rotation is tough to make sense with minutes (when healthy) without it. I didn't like Marshall at the 4 earlier in the year but it was a short run and it was during a bad early stretch. He is one of our 8 best players. I think grimes is also. So, I think Marshall will eventually get backup 4 minutes.
I really think this was a trial run for Kleber. In the end, I expect him to be in a wild card position depending on matchups. If he gets hot, he gets more minutes. If Gafford struggles, he gets some time at the 5. ETC.
I could be wrong, but if I was betting that is what I would bet and what I would want to see.
