Kyrie
Jaylen/smart
Hayward/ Jaylen/ Tatum
Tatum
Horford

That is a lot of offensive fire power, with ability to switch on D

That might be a pretty good starting lineup by the end of the year.

I don't see why Tatum can't start at PF by the end of the year.  He can shoot and space the floor, pass quite well, rebound better than his size it looks like, is strong/solid, and has the ability to play good defense with some teaching and reps. 

He's an elite prospect- I don't know what he won't be able to do by end of season that Morris can, and I don't see Baynes, with his lack of spacing / passing, as a starter (I see him as a bench big that allows us to still have 1 guy with real size when Al sits).

I don't see why Brown can't start at the two now.

I'm actually more curious about their BIG ball lineup:

PG -Kyrie
SG - Hayward
SF - Morris
PF - Horford
C - Baynes

That would be pretty tough, and four of those five guys can stretch the floor effectively.  Could give some small ball lineups real trouble.

Looks great on paper. Bit worried about Tatum matching up with Blake Griffin, Paul Milsap type 4's.

Seems like his perimeter D is OK though, should be OK with the Durants.
