The issue is less about the starting lineup and more about playing without a true point guard. 

My reply was directly related to the OP about the starting lineup.

Sticking with the small sample analysis, the two players with the highest net rating are Dlo and Nembhard.  As flawed as our PGs are, I don't think playing without a PG is going to work,

I agree that they'll look better with a PG on the floor, that's why I said their best lineup is likely to include DLO.

and I don't think its doing anything positive for Flagg right now either.

It's one game. Way too early for me to have a firm opinion on if having him run the offense for 10-12 minutes a game, or more, will help or hurt his development. I think it helped Giannis become the player he is. I also think many basketball people think a good comp for Flagg is Tatum. Time will tell...
