Minutes are already scarce between Luka, JRich, DFS, THJ and Brunson on PG, SG and SF positions. With basically zero minutes available for rookies. Of course there is not really any point to switch any of the guys I mentioned with Fournier.
I guess you would have same problem with Bamba. He is probably not really ready to contribute and we already have a bunch of centers who are not really ready to contribute.
Doncic 30 / Brunson 18
Richardson 30 / THJ 18
Fournier 30 / THJ 12 / DFS 6
Maxi 24 / DFS 24
KP 30 / Bamba 18
Might be a little bit small against some of the bigger front courts but overall it´s a talent upgrade. Fournier started out as a SG but has played most of his minutes at SF in the last few seasons. Maybe give Brunson a few of THJs minutes.
Basically the current rotation with an additional THJ level (or slightly better) wing and Bamba as the backup big. Bamba is obviously a project but the Magic never tried to develop him. His on/off numbers are really good (especially on defense) and he has at least shown some upside on offense. 34.6% from 3 (107 3PA) last season.
