Should Curry start?

Curry's historical lack of durability indicates we don't need to overuse him. 

I think he might be good as an occasional starter, but his main role should be off the bench, when we need somebody that can hit the three ball.

The cool thing is, he's good at a lot of stuff. Crafty around the basket, good passer, good handles, and above average on defense. 

So, most games, be in the first group off the bench, play quite a bit in the third and close. Keep his minutes to about 25 per game.

this is pretty much a perfect Seth post, imhofwiw

The words "starter" and "bench player" no longer exclusively mean playing time.  They are dictated by matchups.  Lou Williams and Montrez Harrell are "bench players" in the traditional lineup sense but they're the 3rd and 4th best players on the Clippers.  They come off the bench so they can destroy opposing benches.

Curry's biggest strength is his shooting.  He's most likely to get open shots playing with Luka.  I don't care if he technically starts or comes off the bench.  He should play with Luka as much as possible.  So if he plays 20 minutes a game, I want pretty much all 20 to be with Luka.

Wright is going to play more and he will play both with and without Luka on the floor.  But he's very good with the ball in his hands.  So whenever Luka is off the floor, Wright should be in the game.  So he could get 12-14 minutes a game when Luka is sitting and 12-14 minutes a game with Luka.

So in my scenario, Curry is the "starter" but he is only playing 20 minutes a game and Wright is a "bench player" but is logging 26-28 minutes a game.
