I also think that Paul Carter could replace DJ in the starting line-up because his offense is a lot better than DJ's. ALso the defense we lose with more minutes going to Paul carter would not be much at all.
Interesting Q -- even though the Dr doesn't care for it.. Paul Carter is the Gopher that consistently follows his shot. That equates to rebounding that this team (this year and next year) desperately needs, so yeah it's possible that he starts, but I'm not sure it will be in place of Damian.
Will Johnson and/or Westbrook still be starting?
I think 2 or 3 of White, Mbakwe, Williams, and/or (Devoe) Joseph could be starters by then.
Nolen and Sampson or Iverson are the other 2 starters (then).
