Hypothetically we don't have Ben anymore this season. Do you change to a "small ball" lineup with Zimm starting flanked by either DM or DJ and 3 guards?
My guess, to preserve one big at all time, would be to sit DM and start Poyser. This way DM could act in the Ben Carter role to spell our bigs when needed (I'm aware he's more of a contributor than a "five fouls" guy but Ben has accepted coming off the bench in a very mature way).
I mention Poyser being a starter so that the kid can get some run and gain some experience for the future.
