For me, going big are three players right now and more can be added
Derozan- Negative is his advanced stats and the fit is not ideal. But I think how he can put pressure on defenses getting into the lane would shine here.
Lowry- His age really concerns me. If he was 2-3 years younger he would be ideal.
Conley- May be safer than the other two, but upside may not be as high.
KP hasn't live up to his billing as a second or third best player, but for the short term you try to build him back up. With Luka, a built back up KP and one of those three that is a very good starting point. Then you fill in the rest with rotation pieces, young players, and glue guys.
The names above are probably best served as your third best player. But they could also fill in as your second if KP struggles. If KP shines, either of those three above are probably overqualified as your third best player...which is a good thing.
That is my thinking at least for today
I would greatly prefer that player to be closer to Luka's timeline. The two primary choices being Ball or Collins. I'm not sure why DeRozan would shine here? He is not an effective off ball player and he will be playing with Luka.
