You might be right. We'll see.
It kind of seems like you have trouble getting past the glaring fact that guy who Carlisle thinks is the best player at a position isn't always the guy he starts. His approach is much more sophisticated than that, thankfully. But having said that, there's no telling what he'll do in THIS crazy situation.
Could be totally wrong, but I don't see any way around playing Green in this game, so my thinking is that Carlisle will want him playing with Luka as much as possible. Definitely not meaning the prediction as a ranking of Green ahead of Iwundu, it's just what makes sense to me right now, synergy wise. Then again, I like @"omahen"'s thought that Iwundu is probably chomping at the bit to play against his old team. I DO think Iwundu will play more minutes than Green, regardless of who starts.

...Burke.
Not saying Burke will start, but it's definitely a possibility. So far this season, Luka has played the entire first quarter before coming out. PLENTY of time to start Burke, rest him and then bring him back to spell Luka at the top of the 2nd, if that's what Carlisle wants to do.
